See the portfolio as a whole
A portfolio contains different pubs, agreements and operating circumstances. MDE helps pub-owning businesses and their advisers distinguish the issues that need action now from those that need more evidence or specialist input.
Plan around lease events
Consider forthcoming reviews, renewals and negotiations alongside your commercial priorities. A clear sequence of work helps you prepare the relevant information and agree the scope of each instruction.
Connect property and operating decisions
Rental and lease decisions need to be considered in the context of how each pub operates. Where relevant, a review can include business potential, the operating model and proposed investment rather than treating the property arrangements in isolation.
How MDE can help
- Review lease events and rental positions across the portfolio.
- Identify the matters requiring immediate attention or further evidence.
- Consider commercial priorities and operating arrangements together.
- Agree focused instructions with your professional team.
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.
