Review of a break clause and advice on the conditions you need to satisfy to exercise it validly. Getting a break notice wrong can cost you the entire remaining lease term, so it is critical to get it right.
What’s included:
• Review of the break clause in your lease.
• Advice on the conditions you must satisfy to exercise the break validly (e.g. vacant possession, no outstanding breaches, rent paid up to date).
• A clear written summary of the steps you need to take and the deadlines involved.
• A follow-up call or email exchange to discuss the findings.
What’s not included:
• Drafting the break notice itself (I can quote for this separately if needed).
• Negotiation with the landlord or tenant.
• Court proceedings and litigation.
• Tax advice (including VAT, corporation tax, income tax, capital gains tax, and stamp duty). If specialist tax advice is needed, I can recommend a suitable accountant or tax adviser.
FAQ
Q: Why is break clause advice so important?
A: Break clauses are often subject to strict conditions (such as giving vacant possession, paying all rent due, and serving notice in the correct form). If any condition is not met, the break is invalid and the tenant remains bound for the rest of the lease term. Courts enforce these conditions strictly.
