Over £70k saved negotiating a commercial lease

Whether renting office space or a number of buildings, when the time comes for an occupier to renegotiate its commercial lease, it can very often be beneficial to ask the commercial agent to be involved.

For example, our Stevenage office recently negotiated a revised rental deal on behalf of a client who occupied five units on an industrial estate off Gunnels Wood Road in Stevenage.

In this instance, the landlord had proposed revised rentals totaling circa £450,000 per annum. Following a period of negotiation, a settlement was reached at circa £380,000 per annum.

Our client was delighted to make a substantial reduction of around 70,000 (around 16%) in their outgoings for all five properties.
