About this lease

This lease is for a shop with a flat over. The shop will usually be in a parade.

The tenant could use the commercial space for any purpose including:

The shop may or may not have additional rooms used by the tenant for other business purposes, such as offices or storage.

If the shop is not part of a parade, the relevant paragraphs can be deleted easily and obviously.

This is the second commercial lease that I have purchased from New Lawman. Although the cost is greater than other available leases on the internet these are more detailed and specific so well worth the money.
The guide provided offers excellent support enabling an individual to 'personalize' details as necessary.
The service support available is an added bonus.
Overall, excellent value for money. Thank you.
