The evidence behind a fair negotiation.
A rent review can affect the cost of running your pub for years. MDE helps tenants examine the landlord’s proposal, identify the evidence that matters and prepare a supported negotiating position.
Advice is available on both tied and free-of-tie pub rent matters, with the scope shaped around your particular agreement and objectives.
How MDE can help
- Understand the rent review provisions and key dates.
- Examine relevant trading evidence and rental assumptions.
- Identify the issues that matter to the negotiation.
- Prepare and present a supported negotiating position.
Prepare before taking a position
Gather the agreement, the proposed rent and supporting material, the history of the last review, and relevant trading information. Identifying assumptions and gaps early allows the discussion to focus on evidence rather than a headline demand.
Begin with a focused conversation
Tell us about the pub or business, the documents you have received and any dates already in play. We can discuss whether MDE is the right fit, what information is needed and the appropriate scope of work. Any subsequent work and fees are agreed before it begins.
Each matter is assessed on its own facts. No particular rent reduction or negotiated outcome is guaranteed.
