Commercial property is real estate used for business purposes and activities. This can include buildings, land and residential rental properties that either house the business or generate profit.
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is the tax on the acquisition of land in England and Northern Ireland.
A commercial lease is a legally binding contract between a Landlord and a Tenant. This gives the tenant the right to the building for business or other commercial activities, for a set period of time and for payment of a rent.
When opting for a commercial property lease agreement it’s important to choose the right one for your business's circumstances. There are lots of different options available so get in touch if you need assistance. Here are a few examples of commercial leasing in England:
There are a number of other leases that may be proposed by a Landlord depending upon the type and location of the Property and the Landlord’s requirements. At Legal Clarity, we are experts in all types of leases so please do get in touch if you have any queries.
Our team will take the time to get to know you, your business and your plans for it and will consider these throughout the drafting and negotiation of your documents. We pride ourselves on working collaboratively with you and all parties involved to achieve a timely, cost-effective result.

The level of rent and any premium due will determine the amount of stamp duty land tax payable.
