Property Asset Management Engage - Lease Assignment

Lease Assignment Request

In the event that you wish to vacate the premises before the expiration of your lease, there are two primary options available:

1. Assignment (Transfer):

  • Transfer the lease to another party, who assumes occupancy and responsibility for lease obligations, including rent payment.

2. Subletting:

  • Continue holding the lease and paying rent to the landlord, but sublet the space to another party, (subtenant), from whom you collect rent.

It is crucial to note that your ability to assign the lease is governed by the terms of the occupational lease. We strongly recommend seeking advice from your legal advisor to navigate the terms effectively.

To initiate the process and seek necessary consent from the landlord, please submit the form below. The property asset manager for your building will receive the form and correspond with you, outlining any requirements for processing the application. Importantly, this form and portal do not grant consent to any application made, nor does it waive any of the landlord's rights or conditions imposed by the occupational lease.

The asset manager will highlight relevant lease terms governing the application. If the lease allows, you will be asked for specific information related to the proposed assignee, including but not limited to:

  1. Trade-related reference or explanation if unavailable, along with one personal reference.
  2. Existing landlord reference if the proposed assignee has traded elsewhere.
  3. Bank reference from the proposed assignee, with evidence of the bank's notification of the tenancy agreement liability.
  4. Confirmation from the assignee that they understand and accept the responsibilities outlined in the lease, including property condition, repair, decoration, and reinstatement obligations.
  5. Details of any consideration paid between assignee and assignor for business goodwill, fixtures, fittings, chattels, etc.
  6. A valid EPC certificate on the premises, confirming a rating of 'E' or better.

If you decide to proceed with the application, kindly complete the form below and be prepared to submit the information outlined above, upon request by the asset manager.
