Lease Advisory

Lease Renewals and Rent Reviews

We have act for Howarth Timber in negotiating Lease Renewals and Rent Reviews across the portfolio.

The portfolio is under constant review and we advise our clients of upcoming Lease Expiry dates, Break dates, and Rent Reviews whether they are Landlord or Tenant. A comprehensive understanding of each Lease is required to ensure that notices are served in the correct manner and in a timely fashion. We also advise our client on other matters related to occupancy such as repair obligations.

For each property we first perform a thorough review of the local market. Then, in consulation with our client and with market data in hand, we have determined clear objectives before starting negotiations.

Lease Regears

In certain instances there has been the opportunity to regear a lease. At the heart of every lease regear mutual benefit for Landlord and Tenant is key, therefore a sophisticated approach is required to secure the most beneficial outcome for both parties.

Acquisitions & Disposals

Through our pro-active approach, including providing advice on planning, undertaking site evaluations and advising on purchase/sale price we have achieved the best results for our client on their acquisitions and disposals.
