Lease agreements London

Lease agreements that work as hard as your property

Why leave rent collection to chance?

Clear clauses, stronger remedies, cleaner renewals. That is the point.

What we draft

Lease types we draft

Different properties need different protections. A shared house is not a retail unit, is it? We tailor the wording so the lease matches the asset, the occupants, and the risk profile.

Assured Shorthold Tenancy

Standard residential drafting with practical clauses for possession, rent, and tenant obligations.

House in Multiple Occupation

Shared housing terms designed to reduce friction between occupiers and support house rules.

Commercial Property Lease

Retail, office, and industrial leases with commercial safeguards, repair obligations, and break rights.

Renewals and Deeds

Renewal, extension, guarantor, and rent deposit documents drafted to keep the deal tidy.

Fixed fees per property. Bulk discounts are available for portfolios and managing agents.

Compliance

Stay compliant with UK landlord law

Housing legislation shifts fast. Why let an outdated clause create a dispute later? We check the documents against the rules that actually matter to landlords.

Housing Act 1988

Core tenancy structure and possession grounds.

Tenant Fees Act 2019

Charging rules kept clean and defensible.

Fitness for Human Habitation Act 2018

Habitability provisions aligned with modern standards.

Renters reform updates

We keep an eye on the latest changes and adjust the wording when needed.

Landlord feedback

What landlords say

Busy portfolio, fast turnarounds, fewer headaches. That is what clients keep telling us. Could a tighter lease save you the same time?

“Our void periods dropped because the paperwork stopped dragging. Simple, clear, and properly landlord-focused.”

FAQ

Your lease questions answered

Can I use the same lease for multiple properties?

You can reuse a framework, but the clauses should still reflect the property type, tenancy structure, and risk level. A one-size-fits-all lease often misses something important.

Do you handle eviction clauses?

Yes. We draft possession-related wording carefully so it supports enforcement without overpromising what the law won't allow.

What about deposit protection schemes?

We include clear references to deposit handling and protection requirements so the lease stays practical and defensible.
