Spotting opportunities for clients to improve lease terms in the current market

By Richard Fantham, Professional Services Department

Now lets be honest, the question you are all asking is “What is keeping Landlord and Tenant Surveyors busy in the present market”?

Whilst historically this work has revolved around rent reviews and lease renewals, we have seen increasing work in the lease re-gear field of late. So what does a lease re-gear entail?

A landlord will invariably be looking to improve lease terms by way of the extension of the existing lease or, possibly, the removal of a break clause, and may offer a deal to the tenant in return for achieving this.

Similarly, for tenants who are committed to a building for the long term, there is presently the opportunity to agree a deal with a landlord (which may include an incentivised rent or rent free) in return for extending its lease or removing a break clause.
