For Landlords

Investment in shop property can be rewarding, provided you know what you are doing when you buy, when you sell, and during the ownership of the property.

I provide a range of services: 

  • Negotiating Rent Reviews, including advice on proposal and serving notices
  • Dispute Resolution procedural and Cost Advice, including Calderbank offers
  • Representing the Landlord for Arbitration Award and Independent Expert Determination including Advocacy Submission and Expert Witness Report
  • Acting as Arbitrator in resolving rent review disputes
  • Negotiating Lease Renewals, including rent, and other terms and conditions
  • Expert Witness Reports for statutory and court procedures
  • Advising and Assisting Solicitors on the approval of leases and other documents
  • Appraisal, Sale and Acquisition of shop and commercial property investments
  • Due Diligence on the acquisition and disposal of shop and commercial property investment
  • Expert evidence reports and opinions for negligence claims
  • Advice on Tenant requests for Assignment, Sub-letting, Change of Use, Alterations, etc
  • Advice on content of lease in sale and lease-back transactions
  • Co-ordinating advisers for new letting, dilapidations, and matters arising
  • Rent Collection and Management
  • Assisted Management where I advise on matters arising
  • Supporting Role Advice for unusually complex and geared rent reviews, such as ground leases, car parks, public houses, sports grounds, etc.
  • Lease Restructuring (re-gears, surrenders and re-grants, renegotiation)
  • Valuation for Probate
  • Valuation for Capital Gains Tax and Transfers

From advice on tenancy terms and conditions, negotiating rent reviews and lease renewals, administering applications for licence to assign, sublet, or improvements, restructuring the lease, co-ordinating new lettings and disposals, you will find my expertise most rewarding.

I look forward to helping you in some way.
