Led by Director Maria Conway, the Property team at MKB Law provides expert advice to both commercial landlords and tenants in relation a wide range of matters. The area of landlord and tenant law can be complex, we strongly encourage both landlords and tenants to seek specialist legal advice before entering into an agreement in this area.

For landlords, the obligations can be daunting, and the fines and costs can be substantial if there is ever a dispute. For tenants, once an agreement is signed it is a binding contract and the usual consumer rights about ending the contract do not apply.

Areas of Focus:

• All aspects of commercial leases including new leases, assignments, variations, surrenders and renewals
• Advice in relation to the Business Tenancies Order (NI) 1996
• Statutory obligations and compliance issues
• Service charge and insurance arrangements
• Property and Portfolio Management
• Dilapidations claims
• Property Due Diligence
• Property Disputes
• Advice on current legislation and requirements such as Energy Performance Certificates (EPC).
