What is a commercial lease extension?

A commercial lease extension refers to the process by which the term of an existing commercial lease agreement is prolonged beyond its original expiration date.

This extension allows the tenant to continue occupying the leased premises for an additional period, typically subject to negotiated terms and conditions. A lease extension can be initiated by either the landlord or the tenant, depending on the terms of the original lease agreement and the mutual agreement of both parties.

What is a fixed-fee commercial lease extension?

A fixed-fee commercial lease extension refers to a service provided by our lease extension solicitors where we handle the legal process of extending the lease on a commercial property for a predetermined fee. This fee is agreed upon in advance and covers all the legal services related to the lease extension.

5 key points of a commercial lease extension that landlords and tenants should understand

Here are key points that both landlords and tenants should understand when considering a commercial lease extension:

  1. Rent Review Mechanisms
  2. Break Clauses
  3. Alterations and Improvements
  4. Legal Costs
  5. Compliance with Regulations

Rent Review Mechanisms

Both landlords and tenants should understand how rent reviews will be conducted during the extended lease term, including frequency, basis for calculation, and any caps or floors on rent increases.

Break Clauses

The presence of break clauses allows either party to terminate the lease early under certain conditions. Both landlords and tenants should understand the implications of break clauses and negotiate them carefully.

Alterations and Improvements

Consideration should be given to any alterations or improvements made to the property during the original lease term and how they will be treated in the lease extension.

Legal Costs

Both parties should be aware of any legal costs associated with the lease extension, including solicitor's fees, fees for commercial property searches, and Land Registry fees, and negotiate how these costs will be apportioned.

Compliance with Regulations

Ensure compliance with all relevant regulations and legislation governing commercial leases, including the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 and any local planning regulations.

By understanding these key points, landlords and tenants can navigate the commercial lease extension process more effectively, ensuring a mutually beneficial outcome that supports their respective business objectives.

When should you extend a commercial lease?

Begin considering lease extension options well in advance (around 6 to 12 months) of your lease expiration date to allow sufficient time for negotiation and decision-making.

Conduct a thorough review of your current lease terms and seek legal advice to understand your rights and obligations before initiating lease extension negotiations.

How long does a commercial lease extension take in the UK?

In the UK, the commercial lease extension process usually takes from 4 to 12 months, from the decision to extend to the completion of the registration process.

The duration of a commercial lease extension process in the UK can vary significantly based on several factors, including the complexity of the negotiations, the responsiveness of the parties involved, and whether the lease is protected under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.

What costs are involved in a lease extension?

Here's a breakdown of the main costs associated with the extension of the lease:

  • £1,000 - £1,500 solicitors’ fee for legal advice and lease extension services.
  • £300 - £400 cost for commercial property searches. Important to identify any potential risks, liabilities, or restrictions before a transaction is finalised.
  • £20 - £50 fees for registering the lease extension with the Land Registry.

There may be additional costs involved with the extension of the lease. Schedule a consultation with our lease extension solicitors by calling 0203 417 3700 for a detailed breakdown.
