Two premises with similar rents can expose a business to very different commitments. Paul Robinson Solicitors advise on commercial leases in Wimbledon, helping landlords and tenants assess proposed terms from the outset. For an occupier comparing options, the aim is to understand the legal trade-offs before choosing a property on price or appearance alone.

Create a meaningful comparison

Put the proposed term, review provisions, repair obligations and service charges beside the rent for each option. We identify clauses that may influence the overall commitment, including security requirements and restrictions on use or alterations. This gives the commercial discussion a firmer basis. A surveyor's assessment of condition and value remains a separate, important part of deciding which premises are suitable.

Rank what the business needs

Some requirements are essential, such as access for customers or permission for equipment; others may be negotiable. We help distinguish those priorities and discuss how the draft terms support future growth, transfer or departure. Landlords can use the same process to clarify the letting proposal. A concession on one point should be considered against the responsibilities accepted elsewhere in the package.

Move from preference to commitment

Once a property is selected, the agreed heads of terms need to be checked against the lease and related documents. We assist with negotiations, completion and later lease events, including renewal or assignment. Provide the available proposals and a short list of operational priorities at the beginning, together with any deposits or commitments already made, so advice can address the stage the decision has reached.

Frequently asked questions

Can the lower-rent property carry the larger legal commitment?

Yes. Repair exposure, shared costs, security and limited exit rights can materially affect the bargain, so the starting rent should not be assessed in isolation.

Should I obtain advice before choosing between heads of terms?

Early review can identify significant differences while there is still scope to negotiate. The full lease will require further assessment once a proposal is selected.

What makes a useful list of premises priorities?

State essential use, access, works, budget and flexibility needs. Explain which matters would stop the business operating, rather than listing only general preferences about the property.
