Commercial leases are among the most significant financial commitments a business or property owner will make. The terms agreed at the outset, and at every lease event throughout the term, have a direct bearing on occupational costs, asset value, and long-term financial performance. Getting the right advice at the right time is not optional. It is essential.
We provide specialist lease advisory services to commercial landlords and tenants across the UK. With over 100 RICS-chartered surveyors advising on all aspects of the lease cycle, we combine deep market knowledge, sector expertise, and transactional experience to protect our clients' interests at every stage, from initial negotiation through to renewal, exit, and dispute resolution.
Please ring 0800 051 2593, email [email protected], or complete our contact form further down the page to discuss your lease advisory requirements.
Our lease advisory specialists act across the full property and development lifecycle, working in both the private and public sectors. We advise landlords and tenants on the negotiation, renewal, and exit of commercial leases, and on the wider considerations that arise throughout a tenancy, including dilapidations, schedules of condition, and expert witness cases.
Our national presence and regional offices give us an in-depth understanding of local markets across the UK, complemented by sector expertise in industrial, office, education, healthcare, and retail. That combination of national reach and local knowledge allows us to give well-evidenced, commercially grounded advice, not generic guidance applied without context.
Our valuation and market knowledge allow us to advise on current and future rental values and negotiate on your behalf to secure the most advantageous terms.
Where a rent review reaches dispute, our team has the experience to represent your interests.
We advise landlords and tenants on lease renewals under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, managing formal notices, negotiating terms, and ensuring deadlines are met.
Early engagement is essential to boosting your chances of favourable terms.
Exercising a break option must be done in precise accordance with the lease terms, with procedural failure potentially invalidating the break.
We manage the notice process carefully and advise on all conditions that must be met.
Where a break clause is not available, we negotiate lease surrenders on behalf of landlords and tenants to achieve the most favourable terms.
Our market knowledge ensures that any surrender premium paid or received reflects the genuine commercial position.
We assist tenants in identifying suitable assignees or subtenants and managing the consent process with the landlord.
For landlords, we advise on all aspects of any proposed assignment or sublease.
Our specialists act as arbitrators and independent experts in complex rent review and lease disputes.
We also provide expert witness evidence in tribunal, court, and arbitration proceedings.
Our lease advisory specialists act for landlords and tenants across every commercial property sector in the UK. If you need support with any of the services listed above, we are here for you.
Please ring 0800 051 2593, email [email protected], or tap the contact us button below and complete the form. Once we have your information, we can develop a bespoke lease strategy that truly meets your needs.
Lease events are opportunities to optimise your asset's performance, but only if they are managed proactively and with the right market intelligence. Poorly negotiated rent reviews, delayed renewals, or inadequate lease surrender terms can leave significant value on the table.
Our lease advisory team helps landlords maximise income and protect asset value at every point in the lease cycle. We advise on rent review strategy, manage the renewal process to secure the best possible terms, assess the merits and risks of lease exits and surrenders, and advise on the covenant strength and lease terms of proposed assignees and subtenants.
Occupational costs are a major financial commitment for any business. Rent reviews, lease renewals, and lease exits all carry risk, and the consequences of a poorly managed lease event can follow a business for years.
Our lease advisory team acts exclusively in your interests, advising on what is achievable in the current market, negotiating hard on your behalf, and ensuring that lease terms reflect the genuine rental evidence rather than an inflated landlord position.
Whether you are approaching a rent review, considering a break, or trying to exit a lease you no longer need, we have the expertise and the track record to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
We have over 100 chartered surveyors with specialist lease advisory expertise, operating across the UK from 35 offices. Our team combines the scale of a national firm with genuinely local market knowledge that makes a material difference in negotiations.
Our lease advisory specialists are recognised as market leaders in their fields, with deep sector knowledge across industrial, office, retail, and more. That sector depth means the advice we give is grounded in what is actually happening in your market, not general principles applied without context.
We handle the full spectrum of lease advisory work, from straightforward rent reviews to complex arbitration and expert witness cases, and our positive reviews and track record of successful outcomes reflect the quality and consistency of the service we deliver.
Whether you are a landlord approaching a rent review or a tenant trying to exit a lease, our specialists are ready to help. Simply call 0800 051 2593, email [email protected], or complete the form below to arrange a no-obligation consultation.

Lease advisory covers the specialist advice and negotiation support needed at key points in a commercial lease, including rent reviews, renewals, exits, surrenders, assignments, and disputes. You need it whenever a lease event is approaching, whenever you are considering a change to your occupational arrangements, or whenever a dispute arises with your landlord or tenant.
Early engagement well before the event date consistently delivers better outcomes than last-minute instruction.
