The Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 is the single most important piece of legislation affecting the commercial property market – but how much do you really understand it? It is a highly technical piece of legislation, with many traps for the unwary, and many little-known byways.
This course identifies particular problem areas for surveyors dealing with lease renewals, where improved awareness and understanding can not only mean avoiding mistakes (potentially very expensive ones), but also adding value in delivering an expert service to the client.
