Reconstruct the event accurately

We examine the lease, variations, notice and evidence of how it was sent or received. The chronology should distinguish the date on a document from the steps actually taken. Breaks, renewals and other lease events have different requirements, so a conclusion should not be drawn from a familiar-looking form alone. Provide the complete correspondence rather than only the final letter disputing validity.

Assess the consequences before responding

The immediate question may concern occupation, payment or a planned transaction, but related obligations can also matter. We explain the issues requiring investigation and consider whether urgent steps are appropriate. Avoid assuming that a disputed notice has either succeeded or failed before advice is obtained. The response should be based on the documents and evidence, with the business's operational position clearly explained.

Choose a proportionate dispute strategy

Our commercial property dispute work also covers repair claims, arrears, access and possession issues. We consider negotiation and other suitable resolution routes alongside proceedings where necessary, discussing costs and uncertainty as the evidence develops. A commercial agreement may address matters beyond the narrow notice question, but its terms need clear documentation. Tell us about any intended move, sale or works that depend on the disputed event.

Frequently asked questions

Why retain the envelope or transmission record for a lease notice?

It may help establish the circumstances of service or receipt. Keep original documents and electronic records intact so their significance can be assessed with the notice provisions.

Does the other party's confident rejection settle notice validity?

No. Their position needs to be tested against the contract, applicable law and evidence. Obtain advice before accepting or rejecting the consequences they assert.

Can a notice dispute be resolved through a wider commercial agreement?

Potentially. The parties may negotiate an outcome addressing occupation and related liabilities, but the agreement should identify precisely what is settled and what remains outstanding.
