A commercial lease isn’t a house rental. The building’s risks — flooding, contamination, unauthorised extensions, even chancel repair liability to a nearby church — can quickly become the tenant’s problem, not the landlord’s. And once you’re signed, that’s where they stay.

In this episode, Rob walks through what commercial lease searches actually uncover, when they matter most, and why so many tenants still skip them (usually to regret it later). You’ll hear what sits in a standard search pack, when to pay for the deeper reports, and how to fold the three-week turnaround into a realistic timeline.

Straightforward, practical, and worth a listen before you sign. Check out the full show on our website & all major podcast platforms.
