Commercial leases are the foundation and essence of property
management. Anyone who works in this area needs to be familiar with what they
say, what they mean, and how to work them. In this course we explain the
key commercial terms of a commercial lease, and focus on the problems the
attending delegates have encountered. It is ideal for administrators who
have not been trained in the nuances of property - administrators, PA's,
secretaries, accounts personnel, facilities managers, newly qualified and APC
candidates.
Professional staff have been under increasing demands for their time, to make savings, and service more clients. One attractive option is to delegate more of the routine management tasks to support and junior staff. Yet, it is vital that technical and support staff have a sound understanding of commercial property leases, the basics of property law, and the procedures that must be followed in order for such delegation to be successful.
The course is designed to ‘walk through’ a typical commercial lease – explaining the terminology, purpose and implications of each clause, and will demystify jargon.
- Understand the nature of a lease, by contrast with a licence to occupy, and identify different types of tenancy.
- Become familiar with the business security of tenure regime in outline, and be able to recognise when occupation falls outside that regime
- Gain an understanding of the nature and meaning of repairing obligations under commercial leases, and methods of enforcement of those obligations
- Discuss the financial obligations of a lease (rent, service charge and VAT) and remedies available to landlords to enforce payment
- Discuss the other main commercial terms of a lease, including alienation and alterations
Speakers
- Mark Shelton, Commercial Property Management Law Trainer, CPM Law Training Limited and Author of 'A Practical Guide to the Law of Dilapidations' and 'A Practical Guide to Applications for Landlords' Consent and Variation of Leases'
