When business needs change, an informal agreement with the landlord may not provide a clear long-term solution. Paul Robinson Solicitors advise on commercial leases in Islington, including variations, new grants and renewals, helping clients assess what needs to change and what consequences the proposed alteration may have for the existing arrangement.

Define the problem before drafting

A request might concern use, rent payment arrangements, alterations or the extent of the premises. We first examine the complete lease and explain the intended practical outcome with you. This avoids treating a change as isolated when other clauses depend on the existing wording. Landlords and tenants should also identify any previous concessions or licences that could affect the proposed agreement.

Check who needs to participate

Lenders, superior landlords or guarantors may need consideration depending on the property structure and proposed change. We investigate the relevant documents and advise on the route, including whether a variation has wider legal implications. The fact that the immediate landlord and tenant agree commercially does not mean the transaction can always be completed through a short letter between them.

Preserve a usable record

Once changes are agreed, future owners and advisers need to understand how the documents fit together. We help record the revised position clearly and identify associated completion steps. The review can also cover repair, service charges, assignment and exit terms where relevant to the change. Bring the original lease and all supplemental documents rather than only the latest draft amendment under discussion.

Frequently asked questions

Can a rent concession affect other parts of the lease?

It can interact with payment provisions and other arrangements. Its duration, conditions and treatment on later events should be reviewed before the parties rely on it.

Why might a guarantor matter to a proposed lease amendment?

Changing the underlying obligations can raise issues for supporting security. The guarantee and proposed amendment need to be considered together rather than in isolation.

Do I need the old lease if only one clause is changing?

Yes. Definitions, cross-references and associated obligations can affect the result. Reviewing the complete documents helps establish whether the proposed wording achieves the intended outcome.
