Woottons on the Quieter Art of a Lease Renewal

No.20 member Woottons has been reading the small print of the South West's commercial lease market, and finds the real negotiation has moved beyond the headline rent. Drawing on eighteen renewals handled in the past year, the practice traces landlords pushing harder on rent-review mechanisms, longer lease terms creeping back, and tighter assignment provisions — with a considered counter-strategy for occupiers approaching their own renewal.

Measured, practice-tested advice, precisely as one would expect. The full note is on the Woottons website.
