Helping tenants to buy

Importantly, we work hard to understand your current and future business needs, and will seek out any long term saving opportunities that you can take advantage of such as business rates advice in advance of Revaluation 2017.

We’ll also flag up any potential issues to be aware of, such as expensive commercial rent reviews, issues sub-letting, onerous service charges and dilapidations, all of which can creep up on you throughout your lease.
