Before You Lease – Key Checklist
Leasing a business unit is a big commitment. Before signing any agreement, make sure you’ve considered the following:
- Business Rates
Check the rateable value of the property and confirm your liability. You may be eligible for Small Business Rate Relief – contact the Council for advice. - Lease Terms
Understand whether the lease is Internal Repairing & Insuring (IRI) or Full Repairing & Insuring (FRI). This affects who is responsible for repairs and maintenance. - Length of Lease & Break Clauses
Confirm the lease duration and whether there are options to terminate early. - Security Deposit & Rent Payment Terms
Know how much deposit is required and the payment schedule (monthly, quarterly, etc.). - Service Charges & Utilities
Check if there are additional costs for shared facilities, maintenance, or utilities. - Planning Classification
Ensure the property’s planning use class matches your business activity. Contact the Local Authority Planning Department at 01495 311556 for guidance. - Insurance Requirements
Confirm what insurance you need (e.g., public liability, contents, building insurance if applicable). - Access & Compliance
Consider accessibility for staff and customers, parking availability, and compliance with health and safety regulations.
