The Gorvins Commercial Property team covers a wide range of real estate services. Depending on the service you require will determine the cost e.g. a lease agreement will be a different cost to a commercial property purchase. Please contact us on 0161 930 5151 to discuss your requirements.
Please refer to the following Government stamp duty calculator to determine how much stamp duty may be payable:-

A lease is a legally binding contract, drawn up to protect both you and your landlord. If you don’t have a commercial lease break clause in your tenancy agreement, you can ‘sell’ your lease or surrender your lease to the landlord. Both options may have financial repercussions for you, so speak to our commercial property lawyers about your personal circumstances.
Yes, we can act for both landlords and potential leaseholders in lease negotiations. Contact our commercial property team to discuss your options.
A break clause is an option for you and/or the landlord to terminate the lease early. For example, you might negotiate a 20 year lease on the premises, but with the option to terminate the lease after four years if you choose to.
Key considerations include:
You should be wary of any break clause in favour of the landlord, which could allow the landlord to terminate the lease early against your wishes.
All aspects of the deal will remain negotiable until you exchange contracts. At that point, the contract is binding on both you and the landlord. You pay Stamp Duty Land Tax and other fees, including any land registry fees, at the completion date when you take over the premises. If the premises are ready to be occupied straight away you may enter into a new lease without any prior contract.
Rather than setting a fixed rent for the entire term of the lease, most leases (particularly longer leases) include rent reviews which allow the rent to be adjusted periodically. The terms of the lease will set out how the rent reviews work, including when rent reviews will take place (eg every three years) and how the new rent will be calculated. The lease will usually also specify what notice the landlord must give you of the new rent and how disagreements will be resolved.
Most leases base the new rent on the ‘open market rental value’ at the date of the rent review – ie the rent the landlord could reasonably expect to receive if the premises were leased on that date to a third party, on similar terms to those in your lease. Some leases link the new rent instead to the Retail Price Index.
