You negotiate the heads of terms

Commercial points of the deal agreed between landlord and tenant include:

  • The rent
  • Rent reviews (open market or RPI/CPI)
  • Rent-free or stepped rent periods
  • Rent deposits
  • Service charges
  • The lease term
  • Break clauses
  • Alienation provisions
  • Contracted-out terms
  • The permitted use
  • Attaching a lease plan

These are just some of the points you can agree. Tell us what the deal looks like and the drafting follows.

The legal wording is already settled

Expert solicitors, one representing the landlord and one representing the tenant, settled it in advance. So the documents are fair to both sides, and nobody has to argue over the drafting.

Once a term is agreed, the lease updates with the matching wording.

How it works

Step 1

Propose

The landlord, or their agent, proposes the terms. The tenant sees them straight away.

Step 2

Respond

Each term can be approved, or answered with a different proposal. That goes back and forth as often as it needs to.

Step 3

Agree

Nothing is agreed until you've both agreed it. Then the lease updates to match.

Rather not go term by term? The heads of terms can be reviewed and approved as a whole.

Example: agreeing the rent-free period

Each side sees the other's move as soon as it's made.
