Commercial Leases
Commercial leasing law is a complex area of law, and commercial leases are themselves complex documents. In Scotland, there is little statutory regulation of commercial leases. Leases are governed by the terms of the lease itself with reference to a dense body of complex case law.
As such, it’s important that a lease is clearly drafted from the outset and that it’s terms are acceptable to you. It’s important to take advice from an experienced commercial leases lawyer before entering into a lease to avoid costly mistakes. The lease should contain clauses specifying the rent, the frequency of rent review (including specifying that the rent can be reduced as well as increased!) and accurate specification of what the property is to be used for among other things.
If you are looking to lease a premises for business, or you are a landlord who wishes to lease out their business premises, we can help.
