Out of the old shop but not without trouble.
More about this when I get time


As an after thought.... landlords ask for references of tenants - my experience of commercial rents an agreements.

Warning
Ask for and get copies of references about the landlord from past tenants before you sign on the dotted line with any landlord.
If we had done this we would not be in the bother we are with the old landlord and we not have taken on the shop, knowing what we know now about the landlord.

So ask for references from past tenants of the shop if you intend to rent a shop and above all read the contract, and always get correspondence in writing from the landlord confirming what has been agreed NEVER rely upon the word of any landlord, get it written down.

This day in age DO NOT accept a lease fore more than two years in duration no matter how tempted you are... you will be more responsible for the building than you should be......

I will post up some good links about commercial rent agreements so that others do not share our unfortunate experiences with commercial rents and occupancies.
