Business Leases

Commercial Property & Development Solicitors - Kent, Sussex & Surrey

We act for many small and medium enterprises spanning the leisure, distribution and healthcare sectors acting on site acquisitions.

As well as general landlord and tenant work, we have negotiated exacting agreements for lease for tenants, to ensure that premises are made suitable for occupancy by our client before the lease comes into effect; this includes advising on satisfaction of preconditions to grant as well on liquidated damages clauses.

We are proud of our exceptional levels of client satisfaction at CooperBurnett Solicitors; here are some case studies and testimonials from our clients.

Dealing with corporate property sales and lease changes commercial property & development

"When Stenmar Aluminium divided and let its factory premises in 2010/11 Jonathan Rowe diligently handled all aspects of the leases. As and when there were lease changes/reviews. he did those effectively and without fuss.When the company was sold on March 2022, it resulted in a lot more complexity than had been anticipated but Jonathan dealt with all those matters, again without fuss.It was very helpful to have someone in our corner who knew the history and could resolve matters in a sensible commercial manner."

“Our key contact is Oliver Bussell and he’s brilliant; very tenacious but always professional and he gets things done. In terms of the advice he gives us, Oliver very clearly lays out our options and the likely consequences of us taking those options. It’s a very pragmatic approach and helps our decision-making as a business. I always enjoy my interactions with Oliver - we’ve established a great working relationship."
