Granting, Assigning, and Renewing Leases Hornchurch
We have extensive experience drafting, negotiating, and advising on commercial leases, whether you are a landlord or a tenant. For landlords, we focus on securing long-term tenants with leases that are clear, enforceable, and designed to protect your investment. For tenants, we ensure you fully understand your rights and obligations under the lease, including repair responsibilities, rent review mechanisms, break clauses, and any statutory protections under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.
Our approach is practical and tailored to each client’s circumstances. We work to identify potential pitfalls before they arise and to negotiate terms that are commercially sensible for all parties. This includes ensuring the lease provides flexibility for future growth, protects against unforeseen liabilities, and clearly sets out each party’s obligations.
Whether granting a new lease, assigning an existing lease, or renewing an expiring lease, our team provides full guidance on the legal and commercial implications so that both landlords and tenants are confident in their positions.
