Office leases more so than retail and particularly so for small tenants and even more so outside of central London. Large tenants won't get a break clause for 10 years. A typical supermarket lease is 25 years during which time the landlord cannot remove them though there will typically be rent-reviews every 5 years (upwards only) that both parties are contractually obligated to agree.

LM, yes I'd only been looking at office and small shop leases.


As for the upward only rent increase ours is pegged to the RPI and is twice in the 10 yrs. I have a commercial property lawyer organising all the terms and negotiating the lease and I think he's been pretty good so far.


It's a long term commitment and the wrong lease can cause a lot of problems for a business, so I think it makes sense to pay for a decent lawyer at the outset.

- If there was a protest against Cafe Nero (I didn't live here before Cafe Nero arrived)I'd suggest it wasn't really representative of the majority of ED residents, borne out by the fact that it's generally pretty busy.

- I don't really get why there would be a protest against a coffe shop. If you don't like it, noones going to force you to go there. If no one goes it'll close, if lots of people go,it'll stay open...same as any other outlet.

As you weren't here you won't know what you're talking about.


One of the biggest issues that people protested against was the lack of planning permission. Nero just did the work and then applied retrospectively. Using the financial and legal clout of a multinational they bulldozed through local opinion.


People were also concerned that it took money away from the high street. A local independent run by locals channels its profits back into the local community. In Nero's case it simply goes to anonymous shareholders.


So, no, not the same as any other outlet.

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays! 
    • Was that the one where you put a coin in and it squirted water at you? what was the name of the one in hanway street - whatever you ordered it came on a segmented tray like you get in prison (I imagine). Prices were a steal.
