Define what the agreement needs to achieve
A new letting or renewal should begin with your objectives for the property and its operation. MDE helps owners identify the commercial priorities before individual terms become the focus of negotiation.
Consider the whole package
The rent, length of the agreement, review arrangements and proposed investment can affect one another. Assessing them together helps you understand the commercial implications of a proposal and where there is room for agreement.
Work alongside your legal advisers
MDE provides commercial consultancy and negotiation support. Your solicitor remains responsible for legal advice and drafting, including the effect of notices, renewal rights and proposed lease wording. Responsibilities are agreed at the outset.
How MDE can help
- Review the existing or proposed commercial terms.
- Consider rent, term, obligations and investment together.
- Agree negotiation priorities for the property or portfolio.
- Coordinate commercial advice with your solicitor and other advisers.
A defined brief. A direct relationship.
Work directly with Michael Erridge to agree the issue, the evidence needed and the scope and fees before work begins. Every instruction is subject to a conflict check. MDE does not act for opposing parties in the same matter.
Commercial consultancy within an agreed scope. Legal drafting, building surveying and other specialist work remain with the relevant professional advisers. No particular rent, trading outcome or operator appointment is guaranteed.
