Effective lease advisory requires a detailed understanding of lease structures, market conditions and commercial objectives to protect value and manage risk throughout the lease lifecycle.
At ASL, we provide clear, strategic lease advisory advice to landlords and tenants, supporting informed decision-making at key lease events and throughout ongoing asset management.
ASL advises on a wide range of lease-related matters across commercial property. Our services include:
We advise landlords and tenants on the renewal and renegotiation of commercial leases, including instructions under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. Our advice is grounded in current market evidence and a clear understanding of each party’s objectives, ensuring clients are well-positioned to achieve the best possible outcome.
We provide independent rent review advice to landlords and tenants, encompassing review clause interpretation, comparable analysis and negotiation strategy.
The exercise or resistance of a break clause carries significant financial and strategic implications. We advise landlords and tenants on break mechanics, compliance with conditions and the valuation impact of each available course of action, providing a clear basis for informed decision-making.
We advise landlords and tenants on the negotiation of commercial lease surrenders, including the assessment of surrender premium or reverse premium, dilapidations liability and current market value. Our objective is a well-evidenced, commercially sound agreement that properly reflects the interests of our client.
We advise on the assignment and underletting of commercial leases, including the interpretation of alienation provisions, consent requirements and the valuation of leasehold interests. Our advice enables clients to manage occupational commitments and lease liability with clarity and purpose.
We work with investors, occupiers and asset managers to identify and plan for key lease events across commercial property portfolios. A proactive approach to lease management reduces risk, preserves income and supports the delivery of wider investment and asset management objectives.
Where lease terms no longer reflect current market conditions or occupational requirements, we advise on restructuring and variation to achieve a position that better serves the interests of both parties.
Our advice is tailored to the client’s objectives, risk profile and investment horizon.
Lease events are critical moments — the right advice can make a significant difference to your costs, income, and long-term position.
