Retailers and tenants

We act for a growing number of occupational tenants, including retailers, restaurateurs, medical practitioners and other occupiers looking for business premises.

A badly negotiated lease can make the difference between the success or failure of a business. Lease terms should reflect the business needs of the occupier and be flexible enough to accommodate changing requirements without imposing unacceptable levels of liability. We work with our clients' other advisers to achieve these objectives. For those setting up a business for the first time in the UK, we are ready to effect introductions to a range of professionals.

Penningtons aims to provide clients with specialist advice to ensure that transactions are conducted smoothly and effectively. We enable tenants to meet deadlines, gain occupation and commence business operations in the timescales they set.
