Commercial lease reform: five points landlords should review now

Forthcoming changes to the leasing regime will affect existing portfolios. A short guide to the issues that matter.

Reform of the commercial leasing regime is moving forward, and many landlords hold portfolios drafted under very different assumptions. Understanding how the changes will interact with existing leases is the first step.

Five points to review

Start with rent review mechanisms, service charge provisions, repair obligations, alienation clauses and break rights. Each can behave differently once the new rules apply, and some will need to be renegotiated at renewal.

Making the most of the transition

A short, structured review of your highest-value leases now is far cheaper than a dispute later. We would be glad to help you prioritise.
