Smith Price undertake rent reviews and lease renewals nationwide for a large number of landlords and tenants, both in and out of town. Our specialist knowledge of the sector, working closely with the retail agency team, gives us a clear insight into the occupier demand for a property in the open market and this very often proves to be what gives us an edge over our competitors.
 
Within the retail sector, we are able to advise clients on unit shops, shopping centres, variety stores, supermarkets, retail warehouses, outlet centres, and leisure properties. Our database of information, which has been developed over some considerable period, assists in providing comparable evidence in relation to establishing rental values together with the appropriate discounts and allowances made when valuing properties with unusual lease terms or strange physical characteristics.

We also pride ourselves on having strong knowledge of the legal issues affecting both lease renewals and rent reviews and the implications of case law and how this impacts upon the various clauses of the modern commercial business lease. Our high level of professional expertise means that we are able to confidently act as property advisers to clients in connection with complicated cases, often involving legal disputes and we have a successful and proven track-record with both Arbitrations and Independent Expert referrals and in advice to clients, where we are acting in the capacity of Expert Witness in relation to the renewal of leases through the Court process.
