Retail units cover the leasing, sale and ongoing management of shop premises and other high street spaces. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates leases, reviews rent reviews and service charges, checks covenants, and handles landlord and tenant disputes. They also advise on acquisition or sale of retail units, planning constraints, and rights of way or easements affecting a site, including enfranchisement and lease renewals under the relevant legislation.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
They handle the specific terms of leases (length, rent review provisions, repairs, alterations, and consent regimes), assess title and planning constraints, negotiate service charges and repair covenants, and manage renewals or terminations under the 1954 Act for business tenancies, plus any associated rights of first refusal, disposals, or acquisitions.
