This service comprises an initial survey of the premises prior to a tenant taking a new lease. It highlights the condition, immediate liabilities and expenditure required for the premises to be suitable for the tenant to occupy and operate from. Following this, the lease negotiations are able to be undertaken far more efficiently, with the ability to identify covenants which should be negotiated out of the lease, or perhaps a rent free period to reflect works which are required.
