Commercial Rent Review Appointment Service

Rent reviews allow the periodical adjustment of commercial rents to the market level current at the date of review. They take place at whatever intervals are agreed in the rent review clauses in the commercial lease.

Rent reviews typically occur every three to five years, a frequency reflecting the general shortening of lease lengths in recent times. Poorly conducted rent reviews can lead to financial loss, stalemate in agreeing new rents, and even termination of the lease.

How can DRS help?

If you are due to undergo a rent review on a commercial property but you cannot agree the new rent with your landlord or tenant, there is often a rent review clause in the lease which stipulates a procedure for third party dispute resolution.
