Under UK law, an individual's mental capacity to make choices regarding financial, legal, estate, or other important matters is automatically assumed unless it's legally established that they lack it.

To have mental capacity for a specific choice, a person must be able to understand the relevant information, retain it long enough to make the decision, and use it alongside the pros and cons to come to and communicate a choice.

And this isn't an all or nothing situation; capacity can change over time. A person might have the capacity to handle daily choices but lack the capacity to make complicated decisions about selling property or making a Will.

The team at Peter Ross Law is here to support you with Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) arrangements, allowing you to appoint someone you trust to make sure your preferences are honoured. We also provide compassionate guidance for families navigating Court of Protection applications and deputyship orders for loved ones who have already lost capacity.

If you have any questions about planning for the future or want to know more about supporting a family member, reach out to our team or visit our website today.

Choosing between buying or renting a commercial property?

What can often be one of the biggest decisions in a business owner's career, the choice between commercial property purchase or rental comes down to your specific business needs. When it comes to commercial renting, business owners can be put off by lease requirement horror stories or previous renting dilemmas, but here's what a solicitor can support you with if you choose the renting route:

1. Limiting repair costs so you aren’t paying for pre-exists damages

2. Negotiating early-exit break clauses and transfer rights

3. Protecting your long-term right to stay and renew your lease

4. Spotting legal concerns in local authority searches

Navigating commercial renting doesn't need to be difficult, not with an experienced solicitor making sure your lease agreement protects you and your business interests.

For commercial property owners and landlords across the North East, the protection and long-term success of your investment hinge entirely on the strength of your commercial lease.

Drafting a lease that protects your rental income and minimises void periods is essential.

Whether you are letting an office building, retail unit, or industrial space, here is what you need to consider:

󠁯•󠁏 Break clauses that balance the tenant's desire for early exit flexibility against your need for low vacancy rates
󠁯•󠁏 Lease terms that are aligned with current local market supply and demand
󠁯•󠁏 Clear rent review mechanisms and watertight 3-to-6-month rent deposits
󠁯•󠁏 Clearly defined repairs and service charges that highlight tenant responsibilities
󠁯•󠁏 How and when to exclude security of tenure where appropriate
󠁯•󠁏 Referencing, guarantor stipulations, and assignment rules

Are you planning to expand or relocate your business premises in the North East? 🏢

It is important to understand Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT). Unlike residential purchases, commercial properties operate under their own distinct tax bands and thresholds:

£0 to £150,000 = 0% tax
£150,001 to £250,000 = 2% tax
£250,001 and above = 5% tax

Keep in mind that there is an important difference when dealing with leasehold properties. Stamp Duty can apply not only to any upfront lease premium, but also to the Net Present Value (NPV) of the total rent payable over the lease term.

Getting these calculations right from the outset prevents unexpected delays or costs upon completion.

Based right here in Whickham, Newcastle, the commercial property team at Peter Ross provides guidance to business owners through every stage of the conveyancing journey, from reviewing complex lease agreements to managing your SDLT returns accurately and on time.

Building a property portfolio starts with getting the foundations right. 🏘️

Building a buy-to-let portfolio can be an attractive long-term investment, but owning multiple properties brings considerations beyond finding tenants and collecting rent.

And no matter if you're buying your first investment property or adding another to an established portfolio, having the right legal advice on hand can help you make informed decisions at every stage of the journey.

Do you own commercial property in a multi-let development? 🏢

Service charges recover the costs of maintaining shared areas and the structural upkeep of the building. Without a well-drafted lease, landlords and tenants can face unpredictable costs.

Our legal team drafts service charge provisions that outline exactly what maintenance, management, and insurance expenses can be charged while offering clarity around collection procedures.

Sign a lease that’s built to handle your company’s growth. 📈

A break clause is a built-in contractual option that allows landlords and tenants to end a lease before the official end date. It gives growing businesses the freedom to expand, downsize, or relocate as their circumstances change, without breaching any part of their agreement.

Because exercising a break clause depends on meeting specific conditions and strict notice periods, having the right legal wording from the outset is crucial. A single missed deadline or unclear term can invalidate your right to exit, leaving you trapped in an unwanted contract.
