Deeds Of Variation

Deeds Of Variation

A deed of variation permits a landlord and tenant to modify the conditions of a property lease. It is a legally binding agreement signed by both parties that verifies in writing the changes they have agreed to – such as the removal of a restrictive covenant. The deed is in addition to the existing lease.

Dealing with a deed of variation can not only be stressful, but highly disruptive. Whether you are an individual, entrepreneur, company or partnership, the process of dealing with a variation to the agreed terms of a commercial lease can be complex and time consuming. This is why it is important you are able to speak to legal experts who can provide all the guidance you need to emerge from a negotiation with the result you are after.

The team at Blackstone is highly experienced in dealing with all forms of contract law and we always work very closely with our clients to ensure we fully understand the issues faced by them or their business. By working together, we can ensure we devise a pragmatic solution that meets your commercial objectives.

When is a lease variation necessary?

Before entering into a formal lease variation, you should consider whether obtaining the landlord’s consent or obtaining a licence would accomplish the same goal much more simply.

Among the circumstances that need a lease variation are the following:

  • When the landlord and tenant agree to modify the lease’s conditions, such as when the tenant agrees to surrender a portion of the premises covered by the lease, then subsequent modifications and release provisions are required.
  • Where the existing lease plan is insufficient and the parties wish to amend the plan and description of the demised premises to comply with Land Registry requirements;
  • When the tenant wishes to install plant and equipment outside the boundaries of the property and the lease provides insufficient rights;
  • When variations are incorporated into a licence in exchange for the landlord consenting to assign, alter, change use, or charge the property;
  • Where the parties wish to rectify a mistake in a lease.
