We have guided hundreds of clients through successful lease assignments, ensuring smooth transitions and maximum protection of your interests.
KWW will look to secure the best terms for you, from rent adjustments to assignment fees. We will be by your side, from initial consultations to final document signings, helping to surmount challenges and keeping you informed in plain English.
Assigning your lease involves navigating a tangled web of legalities, including:
- Landlord consent: We will be looking to secure their approval with compelling arguments and thorough preparation.
- Lease terms and conditions: We will get familiar with your obligations and liabilities, negotiating favourable amendments if needed.
- Financial considerations: We can help you renegotiate rent, manage deposits and ensure a smooth financial handover.
- Tax implications: We will flag up potential tax liabilities associated with the assignment, although you will need to engage an authorised tax specialist for formal guidance.
Once you have found the perfect tenant for your space, we will draft and review legal documents, ensuring everything is watertight and liaising with all parties involved – landlords, assignees, brokers and other stakeholders.

- Enhance property value: Freeholds typically command higher market prices, making your investment even more valuable.

Adverse possession claims

We can help you take back control of your property and land.
Adverse possession is a legal principle that allows someone who occupies another person’s land without their permission to acquire ownership of that land after a certain period of time.
This can happen in various situations, like squatters occupying vacant commercial buildings, neighbouring businesses encroaching on your property line, or long-term leaseholders refusing to vacate after the lease expires.
Our team has a proven track record of success in:
- Assessing the strength of your case: We’ll meticulously analyse the situation and advise you on the best course of action.
- Gathering evidence: We’ll collect and present compelling evidence to support your claim, including Land Registry records, witness statements, and surveying reports.
- Negotiating with trespassers: We can often reach favourable settlements without the need for costly litigation.
Adverse possession claims can be intricate and time-sensitive. The sooner you seek legal counsel, the better your chances of success.
