LEASE ADVISORY

Make better lease decisions with independent tenant-only advice

Taking a lease gives you control, but it also brings more complexity. Rent, incentives, service charge, fit-out, legal terms and long-term flexibility all need to be understood before you commit.

We help you compare lease options properly, understand the real cost of each route and negotiate from a stronger position.

Common challenges when taking a lease

01

Understanding the real cost

Headline rent is only one part of the deal. Rates, service charge, fit-out, furniture, rent-free periods and dilapidations all affect the true cost.

02

Comparing fitted and unfitted options

A cheaper rent can quickly become expensive if the space needs significant work. We help compare fitted, Cat A+ and traditional lease options properly.

03

Negotiating the right terms

Rent, incentives, break options, repairs, deposits and lease length all matter. Small changes in the terms can have a major impact over the life of the lease.

04

Committing too early

A lease can be the right route, but only when the size, layout, timing and long-term plan are clear enough to support the commitment.

How we support your lease decision

Clarify the requirement
We review your team size, working patterns, location priorities, meeting room needs, budget and long-term plans.
Review the options
We identify suitable leasehold opportunities and compare them with fitted, managed and serviced alternatives where relevant.
Model the cost
We break down the real cost over the term, including rent, incentives, service charge, rates, fit-out and other key assumptions.
Support negotiation
We use market evidence and competing options to help negotiate stronger commercial terms before you move into legals.

Where are you in the lease process?

The earlier we are involved, the more options we can test. But even if you are already looking at specific buildings, independent advice can help you compare terms and avoid costly assumptions.

EARLY SEARCH

We help define the brief, test whether a lease is the right route and compare leasehold options against managed and serviced alternatives.

SHORTLIST STAGE

We compare the strongest options side by side, looking at location, cost, specification, flexibility, timing and long-term suitability.

HEADS OF TERMS

We support the negotiation of key commercial terms before the legal process starts, helping you understand what is being agreed and where improvements may be possible.

A lease decision should not be based on rent alone. The best option is the one that balances cost, control, flexibility and long-term fit.

What we review

Fitted leases

Ready-to-use or largely fitted space.

Best when you want the control of a lease but need to reduce fit-out cost, speed up occupation or avoid starting from a blank canvas.

Traditional leases

More control over layout and long-term value.

Best when your requirement is clear and you want to shape the space around the business over a longer period.

Managed alternatives

A simpler route with less operational burden.

Best when you want a private office but are not ready to take on the full cost, complexity or commitment of a traditional lease.
