Identify the consent actually requested

Assignment, underletting and alterations can engage different provisions and legal considerations. We review the proposed transaction or works alongside the lease, rather than assume every consent request is governed in the same way. The application should be assessed for the information supplied, the parties involved and any conditions raised. A clear record helps distinguish a legal dispute from an incomplete request requiring further detail.

Review reasons and correspondence

The landlord's response, requests for information and the tenant's replies may be important to the assessment. We examine the chronology and explain which issues need further investigation. Neither refusal nor delay should be labelled unlawful without considering the applicable obligations and facts. Likewise, a tenant should not assume that frustration with the process authorises it to proceed without any required consent.

Keep the underlying transaction in view

The practical objective may be a documented permission, revised conditions or a different commercial arrangement. We consider negotiation and appropriate proceedings with attention to cost and the effect on the wider deal. Our property litigation work also covers lease breaches, access and possession issues. Provide the full application and supporting material, together with the proposed completion or works programme and any commitments already made.

Frequently asked questions

Does every commercial lease require consent to be reasonable?

Do not assume that. The type of covenant, relevant law and proposed request need assessment before conclusions are drawn about the landlord's obligations or available remedies.

Why keep records of information supplied with a consent application?

They help establish what the landlord was asked to consider and when. The completeness and sequence of the application can matter when assessing the disagreement.

Can negotiations about consent continue while a legal position is reserved?

Often that can be explored, but communications should be handled carefully. Advice can help distinguish practical proposals from statements that may affect the parties' legal positions.
