How we can help you
Rent review clauses are not intuitive to understand and much case law surrounds their interpretation, this is why it has become a specialism separate from agency.
WHAT WE DO
A great deal of uncertainty surrounds a rent review: you cannot walk away if you don’t like the result, so budgeting is an important part of what we do for many tenants.
A trusted understanding of valuation significant clauses and a robust application of current case law are the necessary tools needed to mitigate rent increases. We bring these to the negotiating table.
Ultimately you only have one lever to shift a landlord who is unreasonably holding out for a high rent, but it is a good one: applying for a 3rd party surveyor to weigh up both party’s valuations and decide the new rent means the landlord cannot side step the market reality. Preparing these valuations for third parties is a vital part of our work and we use our expertise in that area to challenge landlord’s to put together a coherent response. Usually that challenge is enough to get a sensible negotiated settlement.
WHY ALLSOP?
