Local knowledge
Commercial property in Leeds
What we look out for on leases in the area.
Multi-let office service charges
City centre office leases often sit inside large multi-let buildings with significant service charges. We check what you can be charged for, whether there is a cap and how major repairs are shared.
Listed buildings and arcades
Much of the historic retail core, including the Victorian arcades, is listed or in a conservation area. We check repairing obligations and consent requirements so you are not caught out by works you cannot carry out.
Logistics near the motorways
Industrial and warehouse units around the M1 and M62 often come with estate charges, yard rights and restrictions on hours of use. We review these before you sign so the unit works for your operation.

Commercial property in Leeds
Yes. Commercial lease work is done on documents, not in person. We negotiate heads of terms and the lease with the landlord’s solicitors by email and phone, carry out searches and enquiries, and complete electronically. You won’t need to visit an office at any stage.
Look at the length of the lease, any break clause, the rent review basis and the service charge. In newer buildings, check fit-out obligations and what you must strip out at the end. In older buildings, a schedule of condition can limit your repair liability. We advise on each of these before you sign.
