A commercial property licence is a legally binding contract that allows a tenant to occupy a property for business purposes for an agreed period of time.

Licences provide a right to occupy and can be terminated by either party at relatively short notice. They are flexible and low cost, which means they are often used to formalise temporary arrangements.

There can be pitfalls associated with entering into a commercial property licence, and specialist legal advice is vital.

At Beverley Morris & Co. Solicitors, our specialist commercial property team has experience in assisting with all types of commercial licences relating to offices, retail units, land and other business premises. We advise both landlords and tenants on licence agreements and will ensure that any licence is carefully drafted to suit your needs and protect your interests.

How Our Local Commercial Property Licence Solicitors Can Help

Commercial property licences are similar to commercial property leases in that they enable a landlord to rent out business premises on a short-term basis.

However, there are significant differences between the two and care should be taken when deciding which is more appropriate.

Commercial property licences are generally used in the following scenarios:

• To let out serviced office space on a short-term basis.
• Between a buyer and a seller of a property for the period between exchange and completion.
• When a tenant is negotiating a lease but requires early access to a property.

A commercial property licence does not grant a tenant ‘exclusive possession’ of a property. Licences enable a tenant to use the premises but do not grant any further rights, such as exclusivity, rent control, or right to remain.

If you are a commercial property owner looking to grant a licence to occupy and want some legal advice, please get in touch with Beverley Morris & Co. Solicitors. You can speak to our professional and helpful team by calling 020 8852 4433 or making an online enquiry.
