Identify critical event dates and timelines

A plan anticipating critical lease event dates is vital. Initial contract dates should favour your business plan and mirror the lease's opportunities and challenges.

Strategic portfolio planning

Active management of large multi-property portfolios mitigates financial stress from simultaneous critical events and seizes operational consolidation opportunities.

Lease renewal

These are critical events and in the UK are principally controlled by legal statute, requiring timely service of formal notices. However, in Scotland and rare situations UK, statute doesn't apply.

Rent review

Plan and budget for these crucial contractual dates. We can advise on rental values and modifying lease provisions, helping you budget and negotiate for optimal results.

Third Party Disputes

When rent review negotiations fail, the lease offers a dispute resolution process involving third-party arbitration, independent Surveyor determination, or court proceedings. All require legal advice.

Lease contracts may allow early termination, but specific criteria and timelines must be met. Forward planning is vital to seize this opportunity.
