RICS Code for Leasing Business Premises
The Good, The Bad and The Mandatory
Now that the Code for
Leasing Business Premises has been relaunched as a RICS Professional
Statement, with the prospect of sanctions for non-compliance, it may be
expected that closer attention will be paid to what it says. In this webinar we
look critically at the Code and consider the content that surveyors must comply
with.

The Code may now have teeth, but does it have sufficient bite to get to the SMEs, who forego professional advice? Who will ensure the unrepresented party is made aware? And who will act as the gamekeeper to report any breaches to the RICS?
The Code’s launch coincided with the Covid-19 crisis, and the recasting of the Use Classes Order, so how does the code fit with the changed circumstances?
In this seminar, we will be asking:
- Why would an intending occupier care about the Code?
- How does the RICS’ own standard lease fit in with the Code?
- Does the Code reflect tenants’ need for ever greater flexibility?
- What opportunities have been missed?
- Might standard lease forms be a better approach?
