We act on behalf of both landlords and tenants, utilising our expert market knowledge and negotiation skills to agree the best possible rent whenever a lease event occurs. It is highly advisable for landlords and tenants to seek expert advice and representation in commercial lease negotiations because of the case law and procedures involved. Hiring an expert chartered surveyor for a rent review, lease renewal or lease expiry, provides security and ensures the best possible outcome.

We employ regional chartered  MRICS and FRICS Landlord & Tenant Surveyors across the country who apply local knowledge and expertise when negotiating commercial rents and new leases on behalf of our clients during rent reviews, lease renewals and acquisitions. Our surveyors have had exceptional careers and we have represented many small businesses alongside well-known brands and blue chip companies. The CPRA Lease Advisory team undertakes rent reviews and renewals for offices, shops, restaurants, warehouses, factories, workshops, hotels, nurseries, car showrooms, pubs and bars.

Our Lease Advisory team has a combined experience of over 100 years and our surveyors are recognised as national experts. Our team is comprised of FRICS and MRICS chartered surveyors and several team members are also RICS Arbitrators. We have an enviable track record of representing landlords and tenants during commercial rent reviews and lease renewals.

CPRA Group employs an exceptional team of rent review experts. For landlord and tenant work our fees can either be fixed or performance based, meaning calculated as a percentage of the total savings or increase in rent achieved. Lease events are all about timing, so if you have an upcoming rent review, break clause or if your lease is expiring, you should seek professional advice well in advance.

As a landlord or tenant, it is always worth finding out from a professional chartered surveyor specialising in commercial lease advice, if you can negotiate and agree a better deal on your business rent. Our initial advice is free and there is no obligation to proceed with our services. If you would like to discuss an upcoming rent review, break clause, or a renewal of your commercial lease with a member our team, please call us on 020 7770 8000 or click Contact Us.
