Property
This part of the site provides information and documents helping you manage commercial and residential property including short and medium term lease agreements, Possession due to arrears and more. With our services, we can help landlords prepare leases and licences for their commercial property, as well as making it easier for them to rent and manage their residential property.
To help you find what you're looking for, you can filter the available documents (by subtopic) by clicking on the tabs below, and can also limit which legal region of the UK to show results for by using the 'region' pulldown.
