A commercial lease is a contract between a landlord and a business for the rental of property. Most businesses will rent commercial property instead of buying it because it requires less capital.
There are three main commercial leases in the UK: gross leases, net; leases and percentage leases.
Gross leases are most common for commercial properties such as offices and retail space. The tenant pays a single, flat amount that includes rent, taxes, utilities, and insurance.
Most commercial leases typically have fixed terms between 1 and 25 years, with 1 to 3 years being the most common.
