Landlord & Tenant

At Tolhurst Fisher we are equipped to advise both Landlords and Tenants on all aspects of commercial Landlord and Tenant issues including:

• Dealing with agreements to enter into new leases;
• Where there is a construction element to an agreement for lease advising on the collateral warranties and building contract;
• Negotiating, drafting and agreeing the terms of new leases;
• Advising on ancillary documents that may be required, such as rent deposit deeds;
• Acquiring and disposing of existing leases;
• Advising on the steps to be taken when your lease is coming to an end and dealing with lease renewals;
• Dealing with less formal arrangements such as licences and tenancies at will where the situation permits;
• Reviewing property portfolios to maximise income and asset potential;
• General management of leasehold property including advice on service charge related issues;
• Disputes arising from letting or occupying property including forfeiture proceedings where there is a breach of the lease;

If you are a freeholder or reversionary leaseholder and your tenants have served notices pursuant to the leasehold and commonhold reform legislation we can advise you of the requirements, effects and draft the appropriate counter notices required by statute and provide representation at any Leasehold Valuation Tribunal hearing which may be held.
