Mr A wanted to carry out a refurbishment of his Newsagent but was reluctant to commit himself due an impending rent review. The landlord had proposed a substantial increase of some 20% which, if applied, would mean that he would not be able to afford the refit. We assisted in negotiating a 5% increase and sister company Commercial PLUS arranged finance for the refurbishment. Mr A said “ Without “Reduce your Commercial Rent’s expert services we simply would not have been able to carry out the much needed refurbishment I can’t speak highly enough of them and would have no hesitation in recommending them.”

We were contacted by Mrs B who along with her husband runs a medium sized engineering business from an industrial unit in the Midlands. At the last rent review her rent went up from £43,000 up to a whopping £50,000 per annum. Since that review three years ago, almost 30% of the businesses on her estate have closed and rents have become depressed as a result. Due to the current economic situation business had fallen right off and understandably they were struggling to pay their rent. They asked to see what we could do. We were able to sort a package of assistance with the landlord of the premises very quickly. Mrs B commented “I could not believe what Reduce Your Commercial Rent did in such a short space of time. I simply think on our own we could not have achieved the same result. They were brilliant”.

Mr C was a very worried retailer when he first contacted us. His landlord, an elderly gentleman in his 80’s had simply forgotten that their previous lease had expired in September 2008 and in December his agent approached our client with a very hefty rent increase backdated to September. We were asked to help out. Within a week we had negotiated a very favourable deal for all parties including a small stepped increase in rent substantially below that originally proposed. Mr C was delighted. “To be honest I was worried sick when the landlord’s representative walked into the shop. I find commercial estate agents very intimidating and was so glad I found the people at Reduce Your Commercial Rent. They took all the stress and worry away and did a great job”
