Drafting Tailored Commercial Leases

Entering into a commercial lease is a major financial commitment for both landlords and tenants. Unlike residential tenancies, commercial leases are often complex, detailed legal agreements that must be tailored to suit the specific nature of the property, the intended business use, and the long-term objectives of both parties. At Stretton Solicitors, we specialise in drafting bespoke commercial lease agreements that protect your interests and minimise the risk of future disputes. Whether you’re leasing office space, retail premises, or industrial property, our legal team provides clarity, foresight, and commercial insight to ensure your lease reflects your goals and obligations from day one.

Every commercial property and business arrangement is unique. That’s why generic or off-the-shelf lease templates rarely offer the protection or flexibility that landlords or tenants need. A tailored commercial lease ensures that key terms — such as rent reviews, repair obligations, permitted use, subletting rights, and break clauses — are specifically drafted to reflect the realities of your arrangement. At Stretton Solicitors, we work closely with clients to understand the nature of the property, the commercial needs of the parties involved, and the long-term implications of every clause. This helps avoid misunderstandings, hidden liabilities, and costly disputes down the line.

For landlords, a well-drafted lease is a vital tool for protecting property value and ensuring steady rental income. Our solicitors ensure that lease terms cover key areas such as tenant covenants, service charge arrangements, rent deposit provisions, insurance, and dilapidation obligations. We also advise on how to futureproof your lease with clear rent review mechanisms, break clauses, and renewal rights. With Stretton Solicitors on your side, you gain a legal partner who understands both the risks and the commercial realities of leasing — and how to draft in your favour without deterring prospective tenants.

For tenants, entering into a commercial lease without legal advice can expose your business to long-term risks and unforeseen costs. We help business tenants understand their responsibilities, negotiate fair terms, and secure the flexibility they need — whether that’s a break clause, the ability to assign or sublet, or protection from excessive service charges. Our solicitors translate complex legal language into clear advice so you can make informed decisions. We also negotiate on your behalf to strike the right balance between legal protection and commercial opportunity, helping you secure a lease that supports your long-term success.

At Stretton Solicitors, we combine legal expertise with a deep understanding of commercial property and business dynamics. We don’t just fill in templates — we craft detailed, customised lease agreements that anticipate future developments, align with your commercial strategy, and reflect current market practices. Whether you’re leasing a single unit or managing a property portfolio, our advice is proactive, precise, and aligned with your best interests. Clients trust us for our responsive service, transparent pricing, and practical guidance from instruction through to final signature.

Whether you’re a landlord looking to secure your investment or a tenant aiming to safeguard your business premises, a professionally drafted lease is essential. At Stretton Solicitors, we’re here to ensure your commercial lease is not only legally sound but commercially smart.
