Grant of a new lease covers creating a new tenancy over land or property, including commercial or agricultural leases, under English property law. A solicitor drafts and negotiates the lease, checks title and owners’ rights, coordinates searches, and handles rent, terms, and service-charge provisions. They prepare the formal lease document (the draft lease and the final lease), negotiate covenants, and oversee registration of the lease at HM Land Registry to protect the client’s interests.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles drafting and negotiating the lease terms, including rent, length, repair and covenant provisions, user restrictions, and rent review mechanisms. They perform title checks, ensure PEGR (personal representative) matters are clear if required, collect and verify related documents, liaise with the landlord or tenant, and ensure the lease is registered so the client’s possession and rights are secure.
