Nobody Saw This Coming: The Proposed Ban on Upwards-Only Rent Reviews

In this Newsflash episode, Lizzie Collin sits down with Richard Snape, Head of Legal Training at Davitt Jones Bould, to discuss a move few in the property market anticipated, the government’s surprise proposal to ban upwards-only rent reviews.  The proposal, unexpectedly included in the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill, has sent ripples through the commercial property sector. Richard and Lizzie unpack what the legislation is seeking to achieve, why it has appeared now, and how it could fundamentally alter the risk profile of commercial leases. This episode explains what could change, what might not, and where the real uncertainty lies. Training & Free Webinars for Property Professionals: Would you like to keep up to date with the latest in real estate law?
