Commercial lease advice for landlords & tenants
For both commercial landlords and commercial tenants, we understand that you want the leasing process to be as straight forward as possible, allowing you to focus on running your business. At AMD we specialise in helping to establish and maintain positive relationships between landlords and tenants, whilst also offering support when issues do arise to help achieve a swift resolution.

COMMERCIAL TENANTS
For commercial tenants, having a fair and clear lease in place is imperative to business planning, particularly if this is a first experience of leasing commercial premises.
We are versed in negotiating lease terms on your behalf and ensuring you are fully informed of your obligations as Tenant. For example, your ability to dispose of a lease, to make any alterations to the internal demise and the extent of your repairing and decorating obligations.
If problems do arise during the term of your lease, having expert advice on hand from our specialist property lawyers means you will not be drawn away from running your business – it is our job to minimise any business disruption arising from a dispute on the lease terms.
WE HELP A WIDE RANGE OF BUSINESSES WITH THEIR LEASES, INCLUDING:
- Negotiating Heads of Terms
- Granting or renewing commercial leases
- Assigning, sub-letting and sharing occupation
- Advising on break clauses included in the lease
- Advising on the Landlord’s security requirements such as rent deposits and personal guarantees
- Advising on the Security of Tenure provisions and the Tenant’s right to request a new lease
- Dilapidation issues

What our Clients say
“I recently used AMD for the conveyancing of a residential property purchase. They were genuinely brilliant from start to finish. Jo, Rosie and Laura went above and beyond to progress the purchase and were always available at every stage. 5 stars!”
05/05/2023“First class solicitors, can’t thank them enough for their great help throughout the sale of our business”
06/11/2023“Thank you to Grant McCall, Laura Lynn and AMD Solicitors for the conveyancing work you recently carried out for the purchase of our house.
Your team were incredibly efficient and quick to get the process started, and as first time buyers who hadn’t been through the process before, were consistently patient and helpful in answering our numerous questions. Likewise, we were also very grateful for the advice and guidance Laura and her team gave to us about matters which we otherwise wouldn’t have considered or even known about.
As testament to the service provided the sale went through without any issues, and we have been very happily living there since, the perfect home for my wife and I and our small baby who arrived a short time after completion.
Since moving in, I have recommended AMD to a number of other friends, all of whom have been equally impressed with your service, and I will continue to do so. I look forward to working with yourself and AMD for all of our family matters over the years.”
