Basic briefing: commercial leases

Abstract

It is not uncommon these days for leases of commercial premises — offices, shops and warehouses — to be 30 or more pages long. Since they are drawn up by the landlord's solicitors, it is imperative for a tenant to consider the lease with his legal advisers and his surveyors. If a tenant is going to be the first lessee of the premises, he can negotiate amendments to the form of the lease, which may later prove to have a substantial bearing on the marketability of the premises. This article deals with some of the major points to be considered.
