Rent Review Valuations in Maidstone- Chartered Surveyor for Landlords & Tenants
Protecting Your Position at Rent Review
If your commercial lease in Maidstone is approaching a rent review, it’s important not to assume the proposed figure is fair. A rent review is a negotiation and with the right advice, you can secure an outcome that properly reflects the true market level.
At Olden Property, we provide independent, RICS-compliant rent review valuations and negotiation support for both landlords and tenants throughout Maidstone and the surrounding Kent area.
Whether you own a shop in Week Street, offices in Kings Hill or Eclipse Park, or an industrial unit at Parkwood, 20/20 Business Park or Aylesford, our role is to protect your position and deliver a fair, evidence-based result.
What Is a Rent Review?
Most commercial leases in Maidstone include a rent review clause usually every three or five years setting out:
The review mechanism (market rent, fixed or index-linked).
The timing of the review.
Whether the rent can be challenged or negotiated.
A rent review isn’t simply “landlord proposes, tenant pays.” It involves careful interpretation of the lease, local market evidence, and an understanding of the property’s condition and trading environment. The right professional advice can make a substantial difference to the outcome.
