Lease advisory

Support with every step of your lease

A commercial rent review can be a key moment in your lease lifecycle – and it’s important to get it right. Our lease advisory service is here to help occupiers navigate every step of a rent review on a commercial lease. Whether you're facing a landlord’s proposal or preparing in advance, we’ll help you understand your position, challenge anything that doesn’t stack up, and agree a fair outcome.

We bring practical advice, strong market insight, and real experience – including on more complex scenarios like a cap and collar rent review. With our lease advisory team by your side, you’ll have the confidence to make informed decisions and protect your interests. We keep things simple, focused, and tailored to what your business really needs.

How we can help

Practical lease advice that helps you reduce costs, manage risk, and realise greater value across your property portfolio.

Commercial rent review service

Rent reviews are a key part of any commercial lease, and getting them right matters. Our lease advisory service provides clear, strategic advice to help you secure fair, market-aligned terms. We manage negotiations on your behalf and, where needed, guide you through dispute resolution. From straightforward reviews to complex cases, we act for landlords or tenants - protecting your position and delivering commercially sound outcomes.

Commercial lease renewal service

We offer clear, practical support throughout the lease renewal process—from early advice and notice handling to negotiation and formal proceedings. Working closely with your solicitors, we guide you through the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 to help secure favourable terms. We act for landlords or tenants, including cases outside the Act or under Scottish law, and are qualified to represent you in court, PACT, or as independent expert witnesses.

Dilapidations and Section 18 support

Dilapidations can arise at any stage of a lease - from considering potential liabilities at the outset to managing obligations during the term and negotiating end-of-lease works. While often a focus at lease expiry, we also advise early on, help budget for liabilities, and support with interim issues. Our tailored approach includes settlement negotiations and expert reports on Section 18 limitations, guiding you through a complex process with confidence.

Lease advisory service and strategy

With offices across the UK, we deliver tailored lease advice for both existing and potential property portfolios. Whether you're an investor or occupier planning ahead, our strategic insight and smart reporting tools provide a clear view of your estate. Trusted by clients like RBS and NHS Property Services, we help manage lease events efficiently - driving savings and enabling you to focus on what matters most: your core business.

Lease restructure support

Our goal is to deliver real value by combining strong market insight with technical expertise - supporting both landlords and occupiers in making informed property decisions. We draw on our broad understanding of rental and investment markets to give clients a stronger position in lease and property negotiations. We help secure long-term certainty for both landlords and tenants by negotiating break clause surrenders and reversionary leases.

What sectors do you cover?

In addition to the core sectors of office, industrial, and retail, our team brings specialist expertise across a range of niche markets. This includes the leisure sector - covering restaurants, pubs, bars, cinemas, hotels, bowling alleys, and casinos - as well as the growing data centre market and the education sector. We also have experience advising clients in the motor trade industry, offering tailored insight across a diverse property landscape.
