Landlord & Tenant


UK Commercial Property Legal Advice

Once you have established yourself as landlord or tenant of a commercial property, you will require legal advice on your status, as you will be subject to conditions governed mainly by the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, which gives a level of security of tenure to tenants leasing or renting commercial premises.

A commercial property lease is quite different from a residential lease, and the tenancy is subject to very strict regulations governing such requirements as VAT legislation, period of notice and new contractual provisions.

Both landlord and tenant are legally bound in a commercial tenancy agreement by specific obligations, dealing with:

  • Rent and lease guarantees
  • Rent deposits
  • The repair of the premises
  • The length of the contract

In addition to a variety of obligations and rights that must be carefully drafted and reviewed when drawing up the agreement.

Tenancy Agreements

Leases and rent agreements are necessarily very long and precise contractual documents which means that it is highly advisable to take expert legal advice through the entire process of agreeing and drafting the terms you are submitting to. Gray Purdue Solicitors have a specialist team of professionals, highly versed in UK contract and property law. We will advise you on commercial terms including:

  • Extent of reparation obligations
  • Breaking clauses
  • Rent free periods
  • Restrictions on renewal rights
