Hello, I have a long term commercial tenant who is looking to sell on his business on as a going concern. Putting aside the issue of surrendering the existing lease for the minute, what referencing do you do for an incoming commercial tenant?
Not sure if the new tenant will be a newbie starting up from scratch taking on their first business venture, or someone already experienced with an existing business and accounts etc.
Any advice welcome.
Thank you,
Reluctant Landlord

Apologies. “Competent landlord” has a particular and specific meaning under LTA 1954 and as such, Googling the phrase may not be terribly helpful to the OP.

True. NB the statutory duty under LTA 1988 to consent to a request for consent to assign in most cases, unless reasonable not to so so or to impose (reasonable) conditions. Existence of rent arrears isn’t usually a good reason as L has remedy of forfeiture.
