Background: this company had already identified a new unit, but recognised that they did not have the experience to negotiate the best deal on the lease.
Challenge: they called on Culverwell Consulting to perform the negotiation, and help identify the key issues, one of which was the existence of certain structural problems.
Solution: Culverwell achieved acknowledgement in the lease that the problems pre-existed and were not the tenant’s responsibility to put right. We also negotiated a significant rent-free period.
Benefit:the saving on rent in the first two years amounted to £75,000, in addition to the saving implicit in avoiding liability for the structural problems.
