Commercial Property FAQ
Who is responsible for repairing and maintaining commercial property?
When leasing commercial property, both the landlord and the tenant will have certain responsibilities. For example, it is essential for the business tenant to conduct regular health and safety checks i.e. on gas and electrical equipment to ensure the premises are safe to operate from. In terms of maintenance and repairs, most commercial landlords will designate responsibility to their tenant to keep the property maintained to a certain standard, while agreeing to handle any structural repairs needed. This may not always be the case however, and the terms of your unique commercial lease should specify who is responsible for maintenance and repairs to the property. When entering into a commercial lease, this is something which should always be negotiated with the landlord.
Can I appeal against decisions on planning permission?
If your planning application has been refused, you will still have the opportunity to appeal the decision. , Before lodging an appeal however, it is a good idea to speak to the local planning authority to find out which aspect of your application warranted its refusal, and whether or not any areas could be amended to gain planning permission. We also recommend you seek specialist legal advice from a member of our team to help you appeal the decision, as we will be able to assess your position and help you to re-draft your proposal. Working with local planning consultants (and if necessary, specialist planning counsel) we can help you challenge decisions taken by the local planning authority, as well as negotiate the terms of a planning agreement after it’s been accepted.
