A commercial property licence agreement gives a tenant the right to occupy a property for business purposes for a set period of time. A commercial property licence is similar to a commercial property lease in that it is a legally binding contract that enables landlords to rent out business premises on a short-term basis.

However, significant differences exist between licences and leases and care should be taken when deciding which is more appropriate in order to ensure the needs of both parties are met, and their interests are adequately protected.

If you are looking for advice and guidance on commercial property licences and want to discuss your next steps, please call Berlad Graham LLP today on 0330 175 5655.

Commercial Property Licence Solicitors Near Me

A commercial property licence agreement is typically a short-term agreement between a landlord and their tenant. Licences offer no security other than a right to occupy and can be terminated by either party at relatively short notice. They are flexible and low cost, which makes them ideally suited to temporary arrangements.

Commercial property licences are commonly used in the following situations:

Serviced office space on a short-term basis.
Between a buyer and a seller of a property in the time between exchange and completion.

When a tenant is negotiating a lease but needs early access to a property.
Department store concession arrangements.

Unlike a lease, a commercial property licence does not grant a tenant ‘exclusive possession’ of a property. Licences offer a tenant the right to use the premises, but does not confer any further rights, for example to exclusivity, rent control, or right to remain.

If you are a commercial property owner looking to grant a licence to occupy and want some legal advice, please get in touch with Berlad Graham LLP today. You can speak to one of our commercial property lawyers by calling us on 0330 175 5655 or emailing info@bglaw.co.uk.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Susan from the Cumbria office is by far the best solicitor we've ever had the pleasure of working with. She was polite, courteous and always did what was best for us. When the vendors were trying to bring the completion date forward, and we were not ready, she spoke to the necessary parties and took the pressure off us. Susan was always very clear on what documents she needed from us and when she did receive them acted on them quickly and efficiently. If Susan was going to be on annual leave, she would always let us know, so we are not worried if we cannot reach her or if she does not respond. Just overall, Susan was a dream to work with and, coupled with the very competitive rates offered for the completion of the purchase of our house, we will definitely be looking to work with Berlan Graham and Susan in particular in the future, when we come to sell this property. Thank you for your utter constant professionalism, Susan. Best wishes!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Well where do I start? This is the second time I’ve used Claire and Laura (and Alex) from the Cumbrian team. They have been amazing from start to finish! Even on the day before completion when my sellers solicitor went awol, they called me to explain and discussed my options. On completion date they were in contact with me and even now a week after completion they are still helping me with issues I’m having with my sellers.

Thank you so much girls for all of your help and support. Me and Lisa couldn’t have done it without you. You are all amazing!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had heard horror stories about solicitors being unresponsive and unhelpful. Thankfully, Berlad Graham Solicitors do not follow this trend. We worked with Claire Brownlie and were thoroughly impressed by her assistance throughout the entire home-buying process. As first-time buyers, we were unfamiliar with the procedures, but Claire guided us through each step and put us completely at ease.

Claire's exceptional patience and support were invaluable, and I would not hesitate to use her services again.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I instructed BG Law for conveyancing services.  Samuel Clifford was my primary contact.  He was highly professional, easy to contact and provided regular updates.  I was very happy with service levels and would easily recommend.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Claire has been outstanding in handling my case for a house sale. Great communication, always responsive to emails and kept me updated on the process. I didn't need to chase them like I did with previous solicitors and they definitely restored my trust and faith in dealing with the matter so efficiently. It couldn't have run any smoother.
They have been the easiest solicitors to deal with to date and I will be recommending them to friends and family in the future.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Taslim has been an absolute godsend for us! Fought in our corner every step of the way and helped us navigate some tricky situations with extremely pushy estate agents. We were first time buyers who had no clue about what to do and Taslim was very patient in explaining the whole process to us. Couldn't recommend enough.
