Commercial Rent Review and Leasehold Advisory Services

In the world of commercial property, rent reviews and leasehold advisory have taken on heightened importance. Amid rising costs and economic uncertainty, property owners, investors, and tenants alike are seeking ways to safeguard their interests and optimize outcomes.

At Terracotta Property, we are committed to offering clients informed guidance through every step of these complex processes.

Understanding Commercial Rent Review and Leasehold Advisory

Commercial Rent Review

Commercial rent reviews are scheduled reassessments of the rent payable on a commercial property, designed to ensure that rent levels stay in line with current market conditions. Reviews can be upward-only or allow for both upward and downward adjustments, and they’re commonly embedded in lease agreements, occurring every three to five years. Given the inflationary pressures, many tenants and landlords are keenly observing the results of rent reviews to safeguard their interests and align expectations.

Leasehold Advisory Services

Leasehold advisory services encompass professional guidance offered to leaseholders (often tenants) and landlords. Terracotta has extensive experience of advising on lease renewals, rent negotiations, lease restructuring, and managing disputes. We help both landlords and tenants navigate complex lease terms and changes in regulatory frameworks, which are critical in protecting their respective interests in a fast-evolving market.

The importance of rent reviews and leasehold advisory has grown, with the UK commercial property market currently facing significant pressures. Inflation, interest rates, and a competitive leasing environment have contributed to changes in lease negotiations and rent expectations.

Moreover, the effects of regulatory changes continue to reverberate through the market. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) has implemented updates to rent review guidelines, placing emphasis on transparency and fair negotiations to encourage stable tenant-landlord relationships. These developments underscore the necessity of leasehold advisory services to help clients stay compliant and capitalize on potential opportunities amid regulatory changes.  Terracotta is abreast of these developments and well placed to provide advisory services.

Terracotta Property’s leasehold experts are well-versed in helping clients navigate the intricacies of rent negotiations, renewal processes, and contractual obligations, equipping them with robust strategies to make informed decisions.
