WE ARE PROUD TO BE ON THE FOLLOWING PROCUREMENT FRAMEWORKS:

Rent Reviews

Could you be paying too much as a Tenant or not recovering appropriate Rents from your Tenants?

Questions to ask yourself :-

• Do I know when my Rent Reviews (both as Landlord AND Tenant) are due?
• Do I know the exact mechanism to be used to review rents?

If you cannot answer either of these important questions positively, you could be either be paying your Landlord too much rent or not recovering appropriate levels of rent from your Tenants.

A fundamental requirement in effective Review management is the implementation of a robust system with automatic reminders of key dates, underpinned by up to date documentation.  

We are well placed to manage this process for you, providing all of the required information for you to instruct your Surveyors.

Keeping track of multiple occupancies across your estate is challenging.  With a dynamic range of occupancies and types of agreement in place it can be difficult to manage this area of the business solely in house.

We at EFM offer a comprehensive occupancy agreement management Service covering:

• Lease Agreements;
• Licences;
• Memorandum of Occupation; and
• Service Level Agreements

We offer this service to assist and support clients in organising, managing, diarising and reporting on forthcoming key lease dates including:

• Termination Dates;
• Break Dates (and requisite Notice Periods and Conditions);
• Rent Review Dates and Mechanisms; and
• Maintenance Obligation key dates (and actual responsibilities).

Many organisations simply do not have the required resource to effectively monitor and manage the sometimes complex minefield of lease information.  Managing this element of your business on your behalf, we remove the need to employ members of staff or burden those already in post who may not possess the required skill set to carry out this task.

Example of mismanagement:

An organisation is in occupation of a property for a 10 year period with one break exercisable on 6 months notice of the 5th anniversary of term.  The passing rent for that property is £500,000 per annum.

The organisation decides that the property is surplus to requirements and decides to leave.  They are unsure of the Break Date and serve notice 1 month before the 5th Anniversary of term.  The notice is rejected by their Landlord as it is “out of time”.  The organisation are therefore unable to vacate the property as wished (without paying a potentially hefty compensation) and are therefore left with a rental liability of £2.5m until the end of term.

This is an actual example of a situation EFM Consulting learned of whilst working with an organisation and one which could have been circumvented had proper management been in place.
