Local knowledge
Commercial property in Central Bedfordshire
What we look out for on leases in the area.
Logistics and warehouse leases
Warehouses near the M1 are often let on long full repairing leases with complex service charges. We review these terms and explain your liabilities.
Technology and research space
Specialist labs and test facilities can have unusual fit-out and reinstatement terms. We agree a clear position on alterations at the start.
Older industrial units
Units on established estates may need repair. We suggest a schedule of condition and check the service charge and permitted use.

Commercial property in Central Bedfordshire
Yes. Leases are negotiated by email and phone, and documents can be signed electronically. Commercial property law is the same across England and Wales. We work with your agent and the landlord’s solicitor, and keep you updated throughout. Landlords on M1 corridor schemes are often institutions based elsewhere, so remote working is normal on these deals.
Check the repairing obligations carefully, as a full repairing lease can make you responsible for existing defects. A schedule of condition limits this. Look at the service charge, permitted use and how the rent is reviewed. We review these terms and negotiate where needed.
