We are members of the Commercial Landlords Accreditation Scheme (CLAS).This is a self-regulatory scheme that promotes good practice in the commercial property industry. For further information please contact us or download the CLAS Scheme Postcard (PDF).
As members of the scheme we have also adopted the Code for Leasing Business Premises 2007. This is a government backed Code, which sets out how a landlord should conduct themselves in the negotiation and drafting of leases. This is an important document which you should read before entering into a lease.
