Heads of terms for the grant of a lease
A standard document that provides a template set of heads of terms for the grant of a commercial lease in England and Wales. This standard document is designed to be produced by a landlord to outline the main commercial points of a proposed transaction before formal legal documentation is prepared. It establishes a non-binding framework covering essential terms such as the identities of the landlord and tenant, the property details, and the length of the term. Using this standard document helps parties clarify their positions on fundamental issues early in the negotiation process, thereby streamlining the path to a formal lease agreement.
