FAQ
What is the difference between a contracted-out and contracted-in lease?
Under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, a lease contracted inside the Act grants the tenant a statutory right to renew at lease expiry. Contracted-out leases provide zero renewal rights.
What formats can I upload for review?
You may provide documents in editable Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx) or searchable PDF. For redlining packages, editable Word files are preferred.
Can you review Full Repairing and Insuring (FRI) provisions?
Yes. I scrutinize repair obligations to ensure you are not bound to return a property in a better state than taken, advising on Schedules of Condition to cap liability.
Do you review related tenancy documents?
Yes. I review Licences to Alter, Licences to Assign, Deeds of Variation, Rent Deposit Deeds, and Personal Guarantees.
Does your review cover Scottish or Northern Irish leases?
No. My qualification and practice are strictly within the jurisdiction of England and Wales.
How detailed is the Risk Report?
The report evaluates each critical clause, outlines your legal and financial exposure under English case law, and provides specific alternative wording for negotiation.
