Lease Renewal Negotiation
Our London lease renewal negotiation service is designed to enable clients to benefit from our knowledge of the Central London office market and to obtain best value, particularly in a market where rents are falling and where landlords are being more generous in offering rent-free periods and capital contributions.
Carter Jonas also provides a specialist Central London office search, lease negotiation and relocation management service. Click here for further information
We specialise in representing West End, Midtown and City of London office tenants in lease renewal and rent review negotiations with their landlords.
We can assist with:
- Assessment of rental value
- Negotiating rent free periods/landlord’s capital contributions
- Measuring and agreeing the rentalisable floor area
- Providing rental evidence of comparable office lettings to enable a lower rental settlement to be negotiated
- Negotiating the detailed lease terms
- Preparation of Heads of Terms document - setting out the agreed lease terms
- Representing tenants in rent review negotiations
