Rent Review Surveyor in Ashford | Expert Valuations & Negotiation
Why Choose Olden Property in Ashford
If your commercial lease in Ashford is approaching review, you shouldn’t have to guess whether the proposed rent is fair. At Olden Property, we provide independent, RICS-compliant rent review valuations and negotiation services for both landlords and tenants across Ashford and the wider Kent area.
Whether you own a retail unit on High Street, offices in Eureka Park, or a warehouse in Willesborough or Sevington, our role is to protect your position and help secure an outcome that reflects true market value.
What is a Rent Review?
Most commercial leases in Ashford include a rent review clause, usually every 3–5 years. This clause sets out:
How the rent is reviewed (market rent, stepped/fixed increases, or index-linked).
When it takes effect.
Whether there’s scope to challenge the proposed increase.
A rent review is not automatic. It requires careful consideration of:
Local market comparables
Lease wording and conditions
Property condition and use
Broader market trends
Getting the right advice can make a significant financial difference.
