Our specialist commercial lease solicitors help landlords and tenants modify, amend, and update lease terms professionally. Whether you need to change rent reviews, adjust permitted uses, or alter lease covenants, we provide clear legal guidance throughout.
Commercial leases often need changes as businesses evolve, properties change, and market conditions shift. Our solicitors for lease variation agreements help you make these changes legally and efficiently. A lease variation is a formal amendment to the original lease terms, recorded at the Land Registry to ensure all parties are protected.
Expand your premises, add floors, or extend the usable area. Our commercial lease solicitors ensure variations reflect your evolving needs.
Change how you use the property—from retail to restaurant, office to clinic. We handle permitted use variations for you.
Update rent review mechanisms, extend lease terms, or adjust break clauses. Our solicitors ensure fair outcomes for all parties.
Our commercial lease solicitors handle all types of lease variation agreements. Each type requires careful legal attention to protect your interests and ensure compliance with property law.

Our experienced commercial lease solicitors guide you through every step of the lease variation process. We ensure all changes are properly documented, registered, and legally binding for all parties involved.
We review your existing lease, understand your goals, and explain the variation options available. Our commercial property solicitors assess whether the variation requires landlord consent and what the process involves.
We prepare the lease variation agreement, deed of variation, or licence to vary, clearly setting out the new terms, any additional rent, and conditions. Our solicitors ensure every detail protects your interests.
We negotiate on your behalf with the other party, addressing rent adjustments, condition changes, and any counter-proposals. Our aim is to reach terms you find acceptable while maintaining good landlord-tenant relationships.
We lodge the lease variation at HM Land Registry to update the registered title. This ensures the changes are binding on future owners and are searchable in property records.
Most straightforward lease variations take 4-6 weeks from instruction to completion. Complex variations involving multiple parties, significant rent changes, or planning requirements may take longer. We always keep you informed of progress at each stage.
