This area covers issues that arise when a commercial tenant has left a premises, including surrender, dilapidations claims, and post-termination liabilities. A solicitor in this field helps landlords and former tenants navigate the consequences of lease expiry or termination, the drafting or negotiation of surrender agreements, and any claims for reinstatement or damage under the lease. They also handle matters such as rent arrears, security deposits, and pursuing or defending claims in the county court or properties-related processes. The work is shaped by the lease terms, the condition of the premises, and any interim arrangements made at surrender or vacating.
The solicitor deals with the detailed covenants that survive surrender, including schedules of dilapidations, notices, and the assessment of any landlord liability. They draft or review surrenders, negotiate settlements, and coordinate evidence with surveyors, rent accounts, and the landlord’s representatives. They may also advise on remedies for non-payment of arrears, handling security deposits, and ensuring the landlord’s re-entry and future leasing position are protected through proper documentation and compliance with court procedures if disputes arise.

Tagged solicitor Charlotte Jenner
Not our first engagement! We continue to use the services of Whitehead Monckton because they are excellent at what they do. We have used this firm for both commercial law advice as well as most recently, conveyancing. On this occasion we worked with Charlotte Jenner who delivered a first class service. The team have a well established process they follow and you just know you're in safe hands. You are regularly updated on progress and whenever we reached out with questions they would follow up immediately with clear and concise advice. We highly recommend Charlotte and the team. It's great that they are local to us but I'm sure their business and capabilities extend beyond our town and Kent county.

Tagged solicitor Andrew Hornsby
Excellence at its highest level I have only used for conveyancing and employment law but I couldn't find a better firm of solicitors if I tried, their lawyers are second to none, I know Andrew Hornsby having worked for him many years ago and you simply won't find a more driven, efficient and capable solicitor who also has people skills and empathy, he has many years of experience in several fields of contentious and non contentious litigation as well as commercial law. I would highly recommend this firm of solicitors as they have la creme de la creme of lawyers/solicitors.

Tagged solicitor Jessica Malone
Jessica has been empathetic, professional and fastidious throughout the whole process. We never had one concern that everything would be handled quickly and professionally, and it was. Despite our purchasers having unprofessional solicitors, Jessica was calm and always kept us updated. Jessica has been nothing short of amazing. We would not hesitate to recommend her. Thank you
