FAQs- Landlord and Tenant management

No. Whether a service charge is payable or not depends on the terms of the lease and whether the lease demise forms part of a larger building or estate, where services are provided. Insurance rent is often payable on top of the rent, as a landlord usually prefers to be responsible for insuring its property, with the tenant reimbursing the cost of the premium.

Can I have access to a neighbour’s land to carry out works to my property?

We are often asked by landowner clients whether there is any legal right to go on to a neighbour’s land to carry out repair and maintenance works where it is not possible to carry out such works from the landowner’s own property and there is no legal right in place allowing access to the neighbour’s land.

We have always been impressed with the speed and reactivity displayed by the Clarkslegal Commercial Property team and their ability to make complex situations seem more straightforward.”
