Landlord and Tenant or Lease Issues

ASK A QUESTION

Unpaid rent, a repair standing dispute, a lease renewal that’s stalled, a question over possession. Commercial property disputes carry real financial weight, and getting advice early can protect your position and keep disruption to your business to a minimum.

We act for landlords, tenants, developers, investors and property management companies.

We advise on:

  • Commercial lease disputes
  • Rent arrears
  • Lease interpretation
  • Dilapidations
  • Break clauses
  • Lease renewals under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954
  • Service charge disputes
  • Forfeiture
  • Possession proceedings
  • Consent to assign or underlet
  • Alterations
  • Breach of lease covenants

Whether you hold a single commercial property or manage a wider portfolio, we can give you advice geared towards protecting your interests. We get involved before disputes escalate wherever we can, and represent clients through court proceedings when that becomes necessary.

Advice early is often what keeps a dispute out of court.
