Lease terms explained
General guidance on common terms. Your own heads of terms and lease are what count.

|---|---|---|

| Rent-free period | Months at the start of a lease with no rent to pay | 3 to 12 months |
| Break clause | A date when the tenant or landlord can end the lease early | Year 3 or year 5 |
| Rent review | A set date when the rent is checked against the market | Every 5 years |
| Rent deposit | Money held by the landlord as security for the rent | 3 to 6 months' rent |

Questions
How is commercial rent quoted?
Usually per sq ft per year, before service charge and local taxes. Each listing shows what is included.
What is a break clause?
A date in the lease when one side can end it early, usually with written notice.
Do I pay a fee as a tenant?
Usually not. The landlord pays our letting fee unless we agree otherwise in writing.
Can I change the use of a shop?
It depends on the planning use of the unit. We check this before you sign heads of terms.
How much notice do I need for a renewal?
Start six to twelve months before the lease ends. That leaves time to compare other spaces.
How do I know a payment request is real?
Phone the office on a number you trust before sending money. We never change bank details by email.
