Heads of Terms
We
will
work
with
you
to
prioritise
your
building
and
occupational
requirements
and
apply
this
criteria
to
structure
the
negotiations
and
use
these
as
the
frame
work for the embodiment of your lease.
Lease Advisory
Unlike
many
practitioners
we
go
beyond
the
heads
of
terms
and
won’t
sit
back
and
wait
for
the
process
to
unravel.
We
can
assist
with
the
negotiations
in
the
drafting
stages
of
the
lease
documents
and
will
work
with
you
and
your
solicitors
on
any
amendments.
Our
working
knowledge
of
landlord
requirements
and
the
philosophy
that
underpins
the
strategy
for
buildings
means
that
we
are
informed
when
discussing
terms
with
our
tenant
clients.
This
enables
us
to
harmonise
those
terms
between
both
landlord
and
tenant
and
avoid
the
adversarial
nature
that
can
arise from a misunderstanding from the drafting process.
Dilapidations
We
prepare
Schedules
of
Dilapidations
and
Schedules
of
Condition
depending
on
your
specific
requirements.
We
base
skilled
negotiation
techniques
on
a
sound
knowledge
of
leasehold
requirements,
statute
and
case
law
to
achieve
the
right
outcome for your business.
Dilapidations
can
be
a
complex
affair
and
understanding
your
potential
liabilities
at
the
end
of
the
Lease
term
is
essential.
We
can
assist
with
advice
and
support
on
your
dilapidations
requirements
for
your
existing
space.
We
will
inspect
your
premises,
review
your
lease
documents
together
with
the
landlord’s
Schedule
of
Dilapidations
and
negotiate
a
fair
and
reasoned
settlement
on
your
behalf.
All
of
our
advice
is
in
accordance
with
the
Dilapidations
Protocol
and
in
accordance
with
the
RICS
guidance
(Dilapidations,
7th
Edition),
and
any
negotiation
is
approached
from a preferred basis of settlement.
We
can
procure
the
services
of
a
suitable
experienced
and
competent
contractor
to
undertake
the
agreed
works
from
the
schedule
and
maintain
frequent
attendance
on
site
to
ensure
that
the
works
are
properly
performed
and
managed.
Alternatively,
we
can
seek
to
agree
a
financial
settlement
on
your
behalf.
Design and Fit Out
We
offer
a
full
‘one-stop
shop’
project
delivery
service
from
inception
to
completion.
Our
services
include
the
preparation
of
layout
plans
and
design
drawings,
preparation
of
specifications
of
work,
statutory
compliance,
and
project
monitoring.
As
part
of
our
design
we
will
prepare
initial
‘mood
boards’
with
samples
of
finishes
to
help
you
select
your
palette.
We
will
prepare
layout
drawings
to
help
you
conceive
your
design
and
plan
your
new
office
interior
and
have
extensive
experience in delivering complex projects on time and on budget.
We
offer
full
design
and
specification
services
(including
statutory
compliance)
taking
your
project
from
the
initial
design
stage
to
implementation
of
the
works,
including project management and site monitoring.
This
service
can
run
in
correlation
with
the
application
for
a
formal
licence
to
works
usually
required
by
a
landlord.
We
act
as
project
monitor
to
control
risk,
financial
exposure
and
ensure
compliance
with
statute
and
agreed
construction
standards.
Project
over-runs
can
be
a
costly
and
frustrating
process,
and
can
often
be
avoided
with
sufficient
preparation
and
planning,
and
rigorous
project
monitoring.
We
will
drive
the
efficiency
and
continuity
of
the
fit-out
process
and
have
a
vetted
and
approved
panel
of
contractors
which
enables
us
to
maintain
quality
of
workmanship and delivery of projects on time and on budget.
Most
building
projects
require
consideration
of
town
planning
statute
and
guidelines
and
compliance
with
the
Building
Act
and
other
construction
related
law.
Our
building
surveying
team
have
a
thorough
knowledge
of
the
law
applicable
to building projects and advise varying property holders accordingly.
We
will
also
ensure
that
the
works
are
undertaken
in
compliance
with
all
relevant
Health
and
Safety
Legislation,
such
as
the
preparation
of
method
statements
and
risk
assessments
and
compliance
with
the
Construction
Design
and
Management
Regulations
2016.
Our
team
understands
that
the
requirement
for
information
by
landlords
can
sometimes
be
a
cause
of
paralysis
for
tenants
who
are
unfamiliar
with
construction
and
design
regulations
and
just
want
to
get
on
with
their
move
to
their
new
premises.
We
can
help
by
preparing
and
reviewing
the
required
documentation
for
compliance
purposes.
This
will
help
minimise
or
remove
any
delays caused by incomplete or unsuitable documentation.

Licence for Alterations
The
licence

a
daunting
and
time-consuming
process.
We
recognise
the
importance
of
an
efficient
approval
process
and
gear
our

Wayleaves
Obtaining
adequate
internet
and
broadband
service
when
taking
occupation
of
a
premises
is
critical
and
the
disruption
caused
to
your
business
due
to
a
lack
of
service can be frustrating and costly.
We
are
able
to
assist
with
involvement
at
an
early
stage
in
the
process
to
ensure
that your new office move is a smooth one.
Internet
and
broadband
services
are
a
critical
part
of
any
modern
business.
It
is
therefore
essential
to
establish
the
business
requirements
for
communication
services
and
determine
what
is
available
at
the
premises.
This
should
be
done
at
the
earliest
opportunity
to
avoid
delays
for
the
operation
of
the
business
as
soon
as
possession
has
taken
place.
Our
service
is
focused
on
ensuring
that
the
requirements
for
a
Wayleave
are
quickly
established
and
that
the
tenant’s
service
provider
is
given
the
right
motivation
and
support
to
provide
the
required
information
for
the
landlord.
We
can
work
closely
with
your
solicitor
on
drafting
requirements,
keep
in
close
contact
with
the
service
provider
and
help
alleviate
the burdens that can arise where there are three parties to an agreement.
Party Wall Matters
We
act
as
party
wall
surveyor
in
connection
with
The
Party
Wall
etc.
Act

on
behalf of either the building or adjoining owner.
Condition Surveys & Repairs

team
can
offer
a
full
range
of

small

and
defect diagnosis for small repairs to full condition survey reports.
We
offer
a
concise
and
direct
approach
which
is
practical
and
refreshing
which
enables you to continue focusing on the operation of your business.
Often
building
surveys
can
be
unwieldy
and
overly
complicated.
We
provide
clear
and
succinct
tailored
advice.
We
will
categorise
defects
in
accordance
with
their
condition
and
risk
and

where
required,
with

and
cost
effective manner.

often
have
additional

defect
analysis;
how
they
will
occupy
the
space,
access,
environmental
issues,
servicing,
communications
and
the like, and our experienced team are able to assist.
