About this workshop lease

This comprehensive lease is for letting a stand-alone workshop, factory, warehouse or light industrial unit which does not share services with any other unit. The building could be used for anything: from a car repair garage to a machining workshop to an aircraft hangar.

This is a professionally drawn, very comprehensive lease with massive legal protection for the landlord including a long menu of “do’s” and “don’ts”.

This lease is not a compromise between the interests of the parties. It prefers the landlord’s interest. We think that is the best start point. If you wish to make concessions to your tenant, that is fine, but we want you have those choices.

It includes service charge provisions to provide 100% recovery of service costs.

Covered Needs Without Jargon
21 December 2020
The document provided a good breadth of potential issues without being weighed down in legal jargon. It was easy to explain to users/business owners what each of the terms related to, and to eliminate those which did not apply.

Comprehensive With Key Exclusion
18 December 2020
A comprehensive document with clear supporting notes and broad scope for editing. The document includes a provision for excluding security of tenure which was of particular use to me given that my lease was for a Garage only. The team at Net Lawman are very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. They took the time to answer all my questions and the review service was invaluable to me. Highly recommend, not only for the quality of documents but also for the quality of Service and support.
