Residential & Commercial Property Consultancy Services from Sam Hawking & Co
Whether you’re a landlord or a leaseholder, Sam Hawking’s residential and commercial property consultancy services are here to protect your interests.
Property leases are designed primarily with the landlord in mind – but it’s vital that landlords get it right, in order to safeguard their commercial interests. And leaseholders need to be ready to challenge any terms or conditions that they find unacceptable.
Which is why leasehold property has more legal implications than any other form of conveyancing – commercial or residential.
In basic terms, a property lease stipulates:
Who is responsible for maintenance and repairs
The rules you must adhere to as a resident
The ground rent due to the landlord
But the simple fact is that, although leasing requirements are similar from property to property, no two leases are the same.
Are the conditions of use what you think they are? Are there commercial restrictions? What, exactly, is included in the property service costs? (And what are those costs likely to be next year?)
This may be the biggest commercial decision you will make – can you really be sure you’ve thought of everything?

Remember, sometimes it’s not what’s in a contract - it’s what’s left out that matters!
