The renewal of a commercial lease is normally achieved by way of a statutory procedure prescribed by the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954. The process can be initiated by either party by way of the service of either a Section 25 Notice by a landlord or a Section 26 Notice by a tenant.

Commercial leases will often contain provisions for reviews of the annual rent at specified intervals during the term of the lease. These intervals are agreed upon and outlined in the lease.

The methodology and procedure for reviewing the rent are outlined in the lease and typically, the process involves the parties’ representatives putting forward their respective valuations and supporting market evidence in support of their respective cases to negotiate a settlement.
