Moving on

If you’re selling your business and want to transfer or assign your commercial lease to someone else, you’ll have to get our permission first. Whether we give permission or not depends on how the commercial unit is going to be used. You can find more information about this and our lettings criteria in our Commercial Lease Policy [pdf].

You should always get help from a solicitor when transferring or assigning your lease. They can advise on the steps you need to take.

If you’re not assigning the lease to someone else, we’ll appoint a lettings agent to find a new leaseholder when the unit becomes empty.
