Where tenants wish to make alterations to premises that have been demised to them, there is often a requirement for the tenant to obtain landlord's approval for those works. The extent of the landlord's involvement can vary depending on the wording of the lease, and often 'reasonableness' is either a specific requirement of the landlord, or it can be implied into the process in commercial leases.

The Service:

  • Review of the existing lease terms.
  • Analysis of the tenant's proposed works.
  • Negotiation with the tenant on the detail of their works, to ensure no adverse effect on the landlord's property or other occupiers of the building.
  • Reporting to the landlord (and their solicitor) on the scope of works and any concerns.
  • Comment on the wording of the draft License for Alterations and in particular on the reinstatement obligations

Why Watts?

Watts have substantial expertise not only in the technical aspects of construction and alteration work, but also in the interpretation and effect of lease and licence wording.
