Fee scale for commercial leases
A fee is payable to us, as a contribution to costs for many of the management activities provided by our Strategic Property Services.
Please be aware that these fees are payable in addition to any rent, business rates and other outgoings payable under the terms of the lease. In addition to these fees, we will also make a charge for reasonable legal costs.
These fees are also separate to any other charges made by us for the use and occupation of the property such as planning, building control, trading licences or trade refuse.
