What is Lease Advice?
Lease advice is typically provided by Lease Consultants who are engaged to act on behalf of either a landlord or a tenant to negotiate lease renewals; assess/negotiate lease terms; conduct rent reviews; provide leasehold due diligence advice if a client is looking to acquire or dispose of a leasehold property; and advise on many other lease related matters which can be covered under the umbrella of lease advice.
Lease advice can also be provided by Lease Consultants to provide Expert Witness advice where third party dispute resolution is required.
Commercial property leases can vary significantly and it is very important to engage a Lease Consultant to provide expert lease advice to review, understand and interpret the various lease terms. A Lease Consultant can provide lease advice for all different types of properties including offices, retail, industrial, public sector etc.
To provide accurate lease advice a Lease Consultant will need to have a comprehensive understanding of the relevant market, how the form and condition of a property may impact the lease advice which is being provided, and also have a detailed knowledge of the impact of specific lease terms/lease terminology.
