Should you as a tenant be insisting on an internal lease only rather than a full repairing an insuring lease? Who is responsible for plate glass insurance?Who is responsible for maintaining the common parts of the building? Is a Schedule of Conditions necessary? What obligations does a landlord have at common law regarding repairs? These are all questions which must and should be addressed at the outset.
There is indeed very little legislation in relation to commercial leases in Scotland. This is in stark contrast to the position regarding residential property where a significant amount of legislation has been passed and indeed can also be contrasted with the position in England where much more legislation exists. When it comes to commercial property, however, the view is that negotiation between the parties is the order of the day. Very often the nature of the contract will depend upon the effective negotiating powers of the parties and commercial expediency.

Commercial Property Leasing Testimonials
"Debra Clapham of Clapham’s Law Agents managed the negotiation of a lease agreement for our business premises. The process can be time consuming but throughout Debra kept us fully informed. She was not afraid to tell me ‘to walk away’ when she did not think the deal was in our best interests. Ultimately the outcome was she secured a fair lease agreement and I was left in no doubt the final agreement protected our interests.
We also used Debra to deal with a business purchase and lease agreement and again she managed the negotiations effectively and efficiently ensuring a positive outcome for us. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. "
