Changing business needs can turn attention from obtaining premises to transferring or leaving them. Paul Robinson Solicitors advise clients in Canary Wharf on commercial purchases, sales, leases, development and litigation. We help assess the current rights and obligations alongside the proposed next step, rather than assuming that finding another occupier resolves the legal arrangements.

Understand the existing route to change

A sale, lease assignment, subletting or agreed surrender can involve different legal work. Start with the current documents and explain the result you want. Consents, conditions and continuing liabilities may matter. Our solicitors can assess the available route and negotiate relevant terms, without treating an interested replacement occupier as proof that a transfer can proceed.

Connect the outgoing and incoming arrangements

A business taking new premises may still have responsibilities at the old property. Dates, deposits, guarantees and repairs need consideration across the two arrangements. Provide the complete picture so the legal work does not rely on an assumption that one obligation ends as another begins. Funding and practical relocation decisions may also require coordination with other advisers.

Deal with disagreement before committing elsewhere

If consent is refused, liabilities are contested or the parties disagree about an exit, obtain advice on the documents and circumstances. Our litigation support can examine the evidence and appropriate resolution options. A proposed commercial solution may be useful, but it does not automatically alter an existing lease or release a party from its obligations.

Frequently asked questions

Is finding a replacement tenant enough to transfer my lease?

Not necessarily. The lease, consent requirements and proposed documentation need checking. Do not assume the existing tenant is released simply because another business is willing to occupy.

Are assignment and subletting the same legal step?

No. They create different arrangements and can leave different responsibilities in place. Advice should consider the proposed route and the terms of the actual lease.

Should a new lease be considered alongside my unresolved exit?

Yes. Overlapping obligations and uncertain dates can affect the decision. Explain both arrangements before relying on an assumption that the old commitment will end in time.
