Questions

Commercial lettings FAQs

Do you give legal advice on commercial leases?

No. We negotiate commercial terms and co-ordinate the process, but the lease itself, and matters such as excluding security of tenure under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, should be handled by your solicitor.

What EPC rating does a commercial property need?

In England and Wales, most non-domestic properties let on qualifying leases must meet the minimum energy efficiency standard (currently an EPC rating of E or better) unless a valid exemption is registered. We’ll flag this at appraisal stage.

Can you manage a building with both shops and flats?

Yes. Mixed-use buildings are common across our area, and we can let and manage both the commercial and the residential parts.
