notice, and organising your timeline to ensure a smooth transition.

• Legal and Suitability Checks for New Premises: Ensure that your new

premises are legally permissible and suitable for your needs, including

considerations for planning and conversion costs.

• Property Condition and Repairs: Understand your obligations to return the

property in a good state of repair and what dilapidations entail.

obligations at the beginning of the lease, including creating a schedule of

entering a property as a critical first step in negotiating with a landlord and

understanding the state of the building.
