What areas do
we cover?
New leases & statutory lease renewals
Leasehold properties are depreciating assets, but leasehold terms can be extended, and this extension can increase the asset value. However, to enjoy the benefits, and secure a lease extension, you’ll have to complete a series of lengthy steps and strict procedures. The process for securing a new lease has similar demands. It’s important to have an experienced commercial property lawyer who’s familiar with deadlines and understands the commercial leasing landscape.
Acquisitions & disposals of freehold and leasehold titles
Whether you’re looking to grant a new lease or a sublease, acquire a property from a freeholder, or dispose of interest in a property, Bate & Albon can help. No matter the size or the status of a commercial property, our specialist team are on standby to secure you the best terms and a winning resolution.Â
Rent reviews & dilapidations
Dilapidation disputes, rent review negotiations, or property liability. These types of legal matters can be stressful, delicate, and hard to steer. Our specialist lawyers have helped many clients navigate these contentious aspects of commercial property law, offering pragmatic and considered advice tailored to your unique situation. Choosing Bate & Albon as your legal council is the first step to achieving a positive, desirable outcome.
Enforcement of tenant covenants & guarantees
There are many UK laws to consider when dealing with tenancies, and sometimes, situations arise that require legal intervention. That’s when you need a knowledgeable legal team who know to handle and uphold specific commercial property agreements, contractual tenant commitments, and party obligations. Â
Acquisition of business Premises
If you’re looking for a new business premises, Bate & Albon can help with any stage of the acquisition process. Whether you’re looking for a storage warehouse, an office, or a retail space, our experienced lawyers help you navigate the transaction and avoid common pitfalls. Each business is unique. We’ve helped companies of all sizes across a range of industries.
And if you’re a young business, you might be considering an occupational lease. There are risks and responsibilities attached with this kind of commitment, but our legal team know these inside-out. Landlords will usually require rent deposits and guarantees, and this is especially true if you’re a new business. It’s important to secure favourable terms and set reasonable agreements, and that’s where the value of a well-established legal team comes in.
TUPE Transfers
When businesses inherit premises as part of a company acquisition, it can come with its own challenges. Our team have a thorough understanding of the legal issues that can arise, including TUPE Regulations, which protect the employees of the organisation you have acquired.
It’s an area of commercial property law that’s very specific and needs expert handling, especially if you’re wanting to safeguard not just your business, but your reputation and future rapport with a new team. Bate & Albon will steer you to the best outcome.
