With decades of experience representing both landlords and tenants, our real estate team is here to help.
Landlord and tenant law is a complex and nuanced area of law which can vary greatly depending on the provisions of each individual contract. If you’re seeking to set up a tenancy agreement for a commercial property, or need legal representation or advice on a tenancy arrangement, Ramsdens’ specialist commercial landlord and tenant solicitors can help.
Our team has a wealth of experience, providing practical advice delivered with a personal touch to help you to achieve the outcome you want. If you’re a landlord, you may need guidance on changing the terms of a tenancy when a lease is renewed or understanding your obligations when it comes to responding to requests from the tenant to transfer the lease. As a tenant, you may be hoping to explore underletting, assignment, or an early end to your lease, or simply need legal support in understanding your rights and responsibilities in a new commercial lease.
How our landlord and tenant solicitors can help
At Ramsdens, our commercial property solicitors have extensive experience of reviewing leases for commercial properties and offering practical, thorough advice.
We can advise on any aspect of landlord and tenancy law, including:
- Drafting and negotiating new leases
- Lease renewals
- Assignments and underletting
- Surrenders of lease
- Agreements for lease
- Licences to assign or underlet
As a commercial tenant, you may have multiple premises, each with different landlords, contracts and requirements to deal with. Our team can help to ensure that you understand and meet your obligations and we can negotiate on your behalf when signing or renewing a lease to make sure the agreement is right for your business.
If your lease is coming to an end, we can advise you on whether there is scope to renew it or whether there is a formalised process for initiating a termination of the contract if you decide you want to withdraw from the agreement. The provisions of your tenancy agreement will often determine your options regarding the end of a lease.
