Yes, we would be able to review leases or conduct due diligence legal searches as you may require.
Yes, it is advisable to list in the Contract a tenant’s fixtures and fittings in order to minimise the risk of dispute.
No, unless there is a special condition stating so.
Yes, we would be pleased to assist you in reviewing the contract before you sign it.
We can usually turn around a lease within 1 to 2 days after receiving the required information.
In the first instance, we will just need the short form agreement to lease that is usually prepared by an agent.
If the Lease is for the whole of the property, we will not need a plan. If the lease is for part of the property, we will require a Lease Plan. If the Lease is for part of the property, we will just need a sketch plan to allow the lease to be signed. If the Lease (for part of land) is to be registered, a formal lease plan prepared by a surveyor will be required at the time of registration.
It is advisable to register a lease. Most Lessees will require a lease (particularly if the term exceeds 3 years) to be registered to protect their interests.
Yes we do.
If a company is executing a lease, a witness is not required. However, where a lease is being executed by a party who is an individual or by a person under a power of attorney, the lease will need to be witnessed by a solicitor or Justice of the Peace.
