Hi all,

We have negotiated a six year lease with a break clause at the three year mark, in line with the rent review, with a six month notice requirement.

When it comes to a rent free period, how much of the negotiation is it best to do before passing everything on to the solicitor, and is there a generally accepted period?

As described in previous posts, the office space is essentially a shell with no hot water.

TIA

Do you have a surveyor? If so, rent-free period negotiations are really part of his/her role. Solicitor will just need to know what you have agreed, rather than necessarily being involved in negotiations.
