What are the types of commercial leases?
The absolute net lease, triple net lease, modified gross lease, and full-service lease are the four most common types of commercial property lease.
- Absolute net lease
- Triple Net lease
- Modified Gross lease
- Full-service lease
Absolute net lease
Absolute net lease means the lessee/tenant will be responsible for all the commercial property related expenses in addition to the property rent. Landlord will not be responsible for anything.
Triple Net lease
A Triple Net lease is like an Absolute Net lease. The only difference is that in a Triple Net lease, the tenant may not pay for expenses directly. This means the landlord pays some expenses in advance and at the end calendar or fiscal year, the tenant provides full reimbursement for those expenses.
Modified Gross lease
Modified Gross lease where landlords are responsible for most of the property operating expenses such as insurance, taxes, etc. while tenants bear some other expenses such as utility bills, interior maintenance, etc.
Full-service lease
A full-service lease is where landlords are responsible for everything including commercial property taxes, property insurance, utility bills, interior maintenance costs, and so on.
What are the costs involved in a commercial property lease?
There are 6 main costs & expenses you should consider carefully before entering into any commercial property lease agreement:
- Rent and service charges
- Any repair or alteration costs
- VAT on rent where the lessor/landlord is a VAT-registered company
- Commercial property insurance costs
- A solicitor or surveyor's legal fees and disbursements
- Business rates

What is a fixed fee for commercial lease services?
A fixed fee is a set price for legal services on commercial leases. It's not based on hours worked. Instead, a solicitor quotes a fixed fee for a specific job, like reviewing or drafting a lease.
