Commercial Property to Let Cambridge: What to Know About Lease Renewals in Cambridge UK

Lease renewal isn’t just a formality — it’s a strategic opportunity for landlords to retain great tenants, increase returns, and update agreements to reflect current market trends and property needs.

When to Start the Process

Timing is critical. Ideally, begin renewal discussions 3 to 6 months before the lease ends to allow time for negotiation and planning:

• Review the existing lease agreement for renewal clauses

• Engage legal support for compliance and documentation

• Assess market conditions to inform your offer

Key Factors to Consider

Before making or responding to a renewal offer, consider:

• Rent Adjustments: Does the current rate reflect Cambridge market averages?

• Regulatory Changes: Have any commercial letting rules shifted since the original contract?

• Tenant Performance: Timely payments, care of space, community impact

Negotiation Tips

Approach renewals as a win-win conversation:

• Offer longer terms in exchange for moderate rent increases

• Propose upgrades (e.g. repainting, new signage) as retention incentives

• Be flexible on notice periods or space use to suit evolving tenant needs
