Lease Transfers

Coordination of lease assignment and associated funding on business transfer.

Overview

What it is

Coordination of the funding and the paperwork when a leasehold trading business changes hands: landlord consent, assignment of the lease, any premium payable and the fit-out capital required.

Why you might need it

Transfers fail on timing more often than on price. Aligning lender, landlord and solicitor from the outset keeps the funding and the legal assignment completing together rather than weeks apart.

Suitable for

Buyers and sellers of leasehold trading businesses.

Typical uses

  • Business transfer
  • Premises assignment
  • Fit-out funding
