Your commercial lease has expired, but you are still paying rent.

Before assuming you can stay, check whether the lease was contracted out of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.

Look for:

A warning notice from the landlord
A declaration signed before the lease began
Wording about excluding renewal rights
Any later notices about ending or renewing the tenancy

This information can affect whether the tenancy continues and whether you can ask for a new lease.

Do not rely on rent payments alone.

If your commercial lease expired but you are still paying rent, do not assume that the lease has renewed or that you can remain in the premises indefinitely.

Your position depends on whether the lease had security of tenure, whether it was contracted out and what the landlord and tenant have done since the expiry date.

Continuing to pay rent may be expected while you remain in occupation.

However, rent payments alone do not always confirm what tenancy now exists or whether you have a right to a new lease.

Buying a business means checking more than its sales, stock and equipment.

The lease can affect how you use the premises, what changes you can make and what costs you may take on. Review the lease position before you commit.

It depends on what you are buying and whether the premises are needed to continue trading.

The business purchase and the right to occupy the premises are separate legal matters. Buying the business does not automatically give you the right to use the shop, office or other premises.

Before committing, check:

Whether the current lease can be transferred
Whether the landlord’s consent is needed
Whether a new lease will be required
Whether the proposed timescale works for both matters

You need to understand what happens to the premises before agreeing to complete the purchase.

Clients value a team that listens, explains the legal points clearly and supports them throughout the matter. That is the standard Onyx Solicitors aims to bring to every business legal matter.

You should know what is happening, what needs your attention and what comes next.

Before agreeing when the business sale will complete, locate the signed lease and any related documents.

These may include:

The original lease
Any licence to assign
Rent deposit documents
Lease amendments
Side letters
Landlord or managing agent correspondence
Details of rent or other outstanding payments

Your solicitor will need to review the documents and understand the current position.

Providing them early can reduce uncertainty and identify questions before the sale reaches a critical stage.
