"We recently instructed our regulated solicitor to handle the commercial lease for our unit, and we couldn't be happier. He ensured that our lease was thoroughly checked and completely aligned with everything agreed in our heads of terms, giving us total peace of mind before signing. The pricing structure was completely transparent, clear, and provided upfront... he explained exactly what was and wasn't included in the quoted service before any payment was made, so there were no surprises or hidden costs."

Upload the draft lease or heads of terms through the form or WhatsApp. You get a written fixed fee quote, usually within hours.
Payment confirms the engagement. A standard review is back within 3 working days; negotiation timelines are agreed in the quote.
You receive a marked up lease and a plain English risk report. If negotiation is instructed, we deal with the other side's solicitors directly.
A commercial lease is often a five to ten year liability worth many multiples of the legal fee. Repair clauses, rent review mechanisms, break conditions and personal guarantees are where tenants lose money, all of them are negotiable before signature and almost none of them after. A fixed fee review costs £750; a badly drafted full repairing obligation can cost tens of thousands.
A lease excluded from the security of tenure provisions of Part II of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, so the tenant has no automatic right to renew. The exclusion is only valid if the statutory notice and declaration procedure is followed precisely before the lease is completed, this is exactly the kind of step we handle.
Yes. Lease review and advice is document work: it does not depend on where the property is, and the whole matter is handled remotely, in writing.
No. Sale and purchase conveyancing involves holding client money, which sits outside this practice by design. Review, advice and negotiation on leases, licences, variations and surrenders are in scope; preparing deeds and holding completion monies are not.
A standard review with a written report on the key risks is normally delivered within 3 working days of payment; urgent turnarounds are available at the Counsel tier.
Preparing a lease or other instrument that is executed as a deed, and any Land Registry application, are reserved instrument activities under paragraph 5 of Schedule 2 to the Legal Services Act 2007. We review, advise and negotiate the terms to agreed form; an authorised solicitor prepares the deed and deals with registration, and your engagement letter states the split.
Send a brief outline of your matter. You will receive a written reply, checked by a regulated solicitor, with a fixed fee quote where the scope is clear. Payment is taken before work begins; every fee is fixed in writing first.
