Lease terms

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on leasing in general – what pitfalls to look out for. I will be using solicitors etc, but it would be good to know what you guys actually experienced when going through this process yourself.

I’d be particularly interested in things like the type and length of lease you’d recommend, what negotiations you did, did you lease an empty space or did you negotiate the redesign into the price (bathrooms etc), did you take a lease to own option, get any initial month’s rent free...

Any help would be greatly received. Many Thanks!
