Look beyond the headline rent
Rent is important, but service charges, repair obligations and reinstatement provisions can also influence the cost of occupation. The full arrangement deserves attention before terms are agreed.
Plan for change
Businesses evolve. Rights to assign, sublet, alter the premises or exercise a break can affect whether a space remains suitable. Each provision should be considered against the intended operating model and foreseeable changes.
Connect the legal and practical details
Fit-out access, landlord approvals, handover conditions and the commencement of rent should work together. Clarifying those dependencies early can reduce uncertainty later.
