Signing a lease is one of the most important decisions a tenant can make, whether for a commercial property or a residential home. Lease agreements are legally binding documents that can lock you into obligations for several years — and many tenants sign without fully understanding their rights, restrictions, or liabilities. At Stretton Solicitors, we help tenants make informed choices by thoroughly reviewing lease agreements before you commit. Our goal is to protect your interests, flag hidden risks, and ensure you enter into fair, balanced arrangements with complete confidence.
Lease agreements are often drafted by landlords or their solicitors and are naturally designed to favour the property owner. For tenants, this can mean accepting unfavourable terms around rent increases, repair obligations, service charges, break clauses, or lease renewal rights. Without professional review, you may miss clauses that limit your use of the property, hold you responsible for structural repairs, or allow the landlord to terminate the lease prematurely. At Stretton Solicitors, we carefully examine every clause, highlight any red flags, and advise you on potential amendments to ensure your lease reflects a fair and reasonable agreement.
