Ground leasing covers long-term leases of land for development or operating purposes, where the tenant gains a defined use of the land for a period often extending 999 years in exchange for ground rent. A solicitor drafts and negotiates the lease, secures planning and title conditions, and handles rent review mechanisms, consent regimes, assignments, and potential forfeiture or surrender provisions. They also advise on title freehold interests, rights to assets on the land, and the interaction with lenders and developers during project funding and completion.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles the drafting and negotiation of the ground lease, including rent review provisions, permitted use, repair and insurance covenants, reversionary interests, and consent mechanisms for alterations or sub-letting. They coordinate title checks, ensure registration at HM Land Registry, manage encumbrances, and interface with lenders, developers, and planning authorities to protect long-term development interests.

Tagged solicitor Katrina Whyard

Katrina acted for us as attorney of a trust on a sale and purchase, including liaising with multiple trustees. There were issues further up the chain because of a restriction on a Land Registry title register which she was instrumental in resolving. Throughout the process she was actively engaged in moving things forward, responsive to others in the chain and kept us fully updated as needed. Exemplary service.

Tagged solicitor Luke Hodgkinson

Excellent and professional service. My house move wasn’t the easiest (issues with titles and deeds) and I was also keen to move quickly. Luke and the team were great, patient with my constant mithering and diligent to the very end. Thanks for your help with everything
