A carefully planned fit-out can lose momentum if the lease does not allow the works your business needs. Paul Robinson Solicitors assist commercial landlords and tenants in Billericay with new leases, alterations and ongoing lease matters, bringing the property documents into the discussion before installation commitments become difficult to change.

Describe the intended works early

Layout drawings, equipment details and a clear explanation of the proposed use help identify relevant restrictions. Internal partitions, external signs and building services may be treated differently under the lease. We review the proposed alteration provisions and any licence to alter, asking how applications, professional costs, supervision and completion records will be handled throughout the fitting-out process.

Separate different approvals

Landlord consent is not a substitute for any planning permission, building regulations approval or other authorisation the works require. Equally, planning permission does not rewrite private lease restrictions. We help distinguish the contractual approvals from the wider project checks, working with your professional advisers so that an approval in one area is not mistaken for clearance to proceed in every respect.

Plan beyond opening day

The lease should also be assessed for repair, insurance, service charges and future dealings. For substantial tenant investment, the intended occupation period and obligations to remove improvements deserve particular attention. We can discuss reinstatement provisions and the treatment of alterations on departure. Bring any landlord correspondence about concessions or works so that important promises can be considered for inclusion in the agreed documents.

Frequently asked questions

Does a landlord's verbal approval cover my installation?

Check the lease's consent requirements. An informal conversation may not provide the written permission or detailed licence needed for the particular works you propose.

Can I leave my improvements behind at the end?

That depends on the lease and alteration documentation. Establish potential removal and making-good obligations while negotiating, rather than assuming the landlord will retain everything.

What fit-out information should accompany my legal enquiry?

Provide plans, a works description, anticipated access needs and the draft lease, together with any proposed programme or commitments already made to contractors.
