Leases Articles and News
Find our latest news about leases, issues affecting landlords and tenants, and details of how Samuels Solicitors LLP can help you here. This is a fast moving area of law, which is frequently the subject of new government legislation meaning it is important to keep up to date if you are affected by these issues.
Leases are complex contractual agreements, usually between the owner of a property and someone who wants to pay to have the right to occupy that property for a period of time, under specific terms. Commercial leases require an expert legal eye to ensure that all of the obligations and responsibilities have been properly addressed, as disputes about leases can be costly and time consuming to conclude.
Our solicitors are experts at drafting complex lease agreements, and at advising on leases which are already in place, if you wish to end a lease early, or to extend it in certain circumstances. Understanding leases requires the assistance of an expert and we have advised commercial property owners and tenants about this complex area of law for over thirty years. Our fees are competitive and our lawyers are professional, efficient and easily contactable.
