Pre-lease
Advice

you can trust innes england

Our team of RICS chartered building surveyors provide pre-lease advice services for occupiers in all sectors across the UK.

We have a multi-disciplinary approach to our pre-lease advisory service and can tap into our own in-depth market data as well as our in-house highly experienced professional services team to add value to what we deliver for our customers.

If you intend to lease a commercial building, you will be aware that the onus is on you to undertake maintenance and repairs to the property, so before costs can be calculated or a lease agreement negotiated, getting pre-lease advice services is a good idea to save you costs during the lease term and when the inevitable dilapidations claim is received at lease expiry.

But beyond advice, a Schedule of Condition documenting the condition of the building before the lease begins can be a valuable tool in limiting a tenant’s liability for repairs and reducing exit costs.

Bringing BOYLE Sports’ First Leicester Store to Narborough Road

The Challenge: Innes England’s existing client occupied the wider property, including the Morrisons Daily store on Narborough Road, but identified that part of the accommodation was no longer required and was effectively being used as surplus storage space. The opportunity was to separate and repurpose the space as a self-contained commercial unit and secure a suitable tenant that would provide the client with an additional income stream while making more effective use of the property.
