Saffron Print Ltd holds a 15-year lease of a workshop. With the landlord's written consent, and at its own cost, it installed a mezzanine floor in year three; it was not obliged to do so under the lease. The lease provides for an open market rent review in year five, with the usual assumptions and disregards, including a disregard of improvements carried out by the tenant otherwise than under an obligation to the landlord. How will the mezzanine affect the reviewed rent?

Rules the questions test most

  1. Once contracts are exchanged both parties are bound; a buyer usually pays a deposit of 10% of the price on exchange.
  2. Under the Standard Conditions of Sale, if completion is delayed the party at fault pays compensation at the contract rate on the purchase price (less any deposit paid, where the buyer is paying), and either party may serve a notice to complete making time of the essence.
  3. After completion the buyer’s solicitor must file the SDLT return and pay any tax within 14 days, then apply to register the transfer at HM Land Registry within the priority period of the official search.
  4. A business tenant whose lease has security of tenure under Part II of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 can stay on after the lease ends unless the lease is ended under the Act; the parties can contract out before the lease is granted by following the notice procedure.
