Best Business Law Practitioners in Plymouth

Unless the lease contains an option for the tenant to break the lease early, you cannot give notice to end the lease before the expiry date as you are bound to observe the tenant obligations until that time. We can advise you on whether your lease contains a break option, and if so we can deal with serving the break notice on your behalf. If your lease does not permit this, we can look at other options that might be available to you such as lawfully assigning your lease to someone else.

Your lease will govern this. If your lease does contain provision for the rent to be reviewed, the landlord will be entitled to review the rent in accordance with those terms. We can advise you on what your lease says about rent review, and if a review is permitted we can advise you in tandem with your surveyor on how to achieve a review that is fair and proper.

A Grazing Licence may be the appropriate document but care must be taken if she is going to be using other facilities or if you intend that she will use that piece of land exclusively, as this may create a business tenancy. This could mean that you inadvertently grant her security of tenure and you will have effectively lost control of the land. Contact us for advice on the best way forward to achieve what you want while at the same time protecting your position.

A Lasting Power of Attorney is completely different to a Will. A Will decides what happens to your estate when you die. A Lasting Power of Attorney appoints attorneys to make decisions about both your property and finances and your health and welfare, should you ever lose the mental capacity to make those decisions yourself.

No. Your Lasting Power of Attorney is only valid whilst you are alive. It ceases to have any effect once you die. Attorneys can only use a Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with financial transactions on your behalf or make decisions about your personal welfare (including Life Sustaining Treatment, if you permit them to do so) if you lose the mental capacity to deal with those issues yourself. They are bound by certain duties under the Mental Capacity Act and must take into account your wishes and feelings and above all, act in your best interests.
