I have been referring to Daniel for all my charity’s commercial property issues for over six years. In that time he has shown himself to be professional, thorough and responsive. I highly recommend Daniel and wish to extend my thanks to him for his continued hard work

Legal Insights by Daniel York
VAT, Commercial Property and the Option to Tax
The default position is that commercial properties are exempt from VAT. This means that the purchase or leasing of the property would not attract VAT on the purchase price or rent.
Rent Review provisions in Leases
The recent case of Monsolar IQ Limited v Woden Park Ltd demonstrates the importance of careful drafting in leases.
Commercial Property: The impact of Break Clauses?
A break clause in a lease allows a Landlord or Tenant to terminate the lease early subject to complying with various conditions in the clause.
