Adding space can create two sets of obligations where a business expected one straightforward extension. Paul Robinson Solicitors advise landlords and tenants in Stratford on commercial leases and expansion arrangements, helping assess additional premises alongside the existing lease, current operations and the longer-term plan for the combined occupation.

Choose the right document structure

The proposal might involve a separate lease, a replacement arrangement or another carefully documented change. We review the existing title and lease position before recommending the property steps. Rent dates, expiry, security and rights over connecting areas should be considered together. Describing a deal as an extension does not establish how the legal interests or responsibilities will operate.

Coordinate physical connections

Opening between units, moving services or changing entrances can require alteration consent and technical investigation. We examine the proposed rights and obligations with the plans, including reinstatement if the spaces later return to separate occupation. Surveyors and other advisers can assess the works themselves, while the lease documents need to address the permissions, insurance and ongoing maintenance arrangements the combined layout requires.

Avoid conflicting future decisions

Different break dates or transfer restrictions can make a combined premises strategy difficult. We help compare the terms and identify what happens if the business wants to leave, sell or retain only part of the space. Our advice also covers fresh lettings and renewals. Provide both plans, the current lease and the proposed expansion terms before agreeing the overall commitment.

Frequently asked questions

Can an additional room simply be added by email agreement?

The legal effect of changing the premises needs review. Appropriate documentation and any third-party involvement should be considered before relying on an informal exchange.

Should two adjoining leases have matching expiry dates?

That may be commercially useful, but it is a negotiation point. Compare the operational plan and exit arrangements before deciding which dates should align.

What happens if I later want to keep only one unit?

The separate or combined lease terms will matter, including breaks, dealing restrictions and reinstatement. Consider that scenario when the expansion documents are being negotiated.
