The starting rent tells only part of the story when a lease allows it to change later. Paul Robinson Solicitors advise landlords and tenants in Richmond on commercial lease terms, examining rent review wording alongside the wider occupation package so that future pricing arrangements are understood before the initial deal is accepted.

Identify the proposed review method

The lease may use a market-based assessment, an index or another negotiated mechanism. We explain the legal wording and identify assumptions, disregards or limits that need attention. A surveyor can advise on valuation and commercial impact. The review should reflect the actual draft rather than a general expectation that future rent will simply move in line with surrounding property prices.

Understand how disagreement is handled

The machinery for starting a review, exchanging information and resolving a dispute can matter as much as the headline formula. We examine the relevant provisions and discuss the payment position while a figure remains unresolved. Landlords need a workable process; tenants need to understand potential adjustments and administration. Any notices or correspondence already received should be supplied promptly for review.

Compare rent with the complete bargain

Rent review should be considered alongside incentives, service charges, break rights and the overall lease length. We help identify interactions that may affect the business's preferred commitment. Our advice includes new leases, renewals and existing review questions, with valuation input where appropriate. Bring the heads of terms, draft or completed lease and any previous review memorandum to establish the full contractual picture.

Frequently asked questions

Will an index-linked rent clause always be straightforward?

The formula still needs checking, including the index, calculation dates and any limits or substitute mechanism. A familiar label does not establish the actual financial result.

Who advises on the rental value at a market review?

A suitably qualified surveyor can provide valuation advice. Legal advice addresses the contractual assumptions, procedure and documentation that govern how the review operates.

Should a rent review be considered with a nearby break date?

Yes. The relationship can influence the commercial decision to remain or leave, although exercising any break requires separate attention to its own terms and conditions.
