Our Fees
Note: We are not VAT registered and therefore do not charge VAT on our legal fees. Disbursements (e.g. Land Registry or HMRC fees) may still apply.
Typical Fixed Fees – Commercial Lease (Uncontested)
| Service | Our Fixed Fee | Estimated Disbursements |
|---|---|---|
| Landlord – Lease grant (up to 10 years) | £1,500 | Land Registry: £40–£95 |
| Tenant – Lease review & negotiation | £1,400 | Searches: £250–£350, Registration: £40–£95 |
| Licence to assign / alter / occupy | £500 | None or minimal |
| Lease renewal (non-contentious) | £1,000 | Land Registry: if required |
These fees are for standard, uncontested lease transactions with no complex issues. If additional work is required (e.g. dealing with guarantors, extensive negotiation, or multi-unit leases), we will provide you with a revised estimate or hourly rate quote.
Additional Costs (If Applicable)
- HM Land Registry fees based on lease value
- Search fees (if required by tenant)
- Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), depending on lease terms
Timescales
- Standard lease: 2–4 weeks (from receipt of draft lease and client instructions)
- Licence to assign/alter: 1–2 weeks
- Complex leases: may take longer depending on negotiation and third-party delays
