Rent Review Surveyor Ashford | Expert Valuations & Negotiation

Why Choose Olden Property in Ashford

If your commercial lease in Ashford is due for 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 landlords and tenants across Ashford and the surrounding Kent area. Whether you own a shop in 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 the true market.

What is a Rent Review?

Most commercial leases around Ashford include a rent review clause, often every 3 or 5 years. This clause will specify how the rent is to be reviewed (for example, to market rent, or fixed/stepped / index‑linked increases), when it takes effect, and whether the lease gives scope to challenge the proposed increase.

A rent review is not just “landlord says new rent, tenant pays.” Evidence, lease‑terms, comparables, condition of the premises, and market trends all play a part. Getting the right advice can make a material difference.

 

Our Rent Review Services

We support you at every stage:

  • Valuation of Market Rent: using local comparables from Ashford (Eureka Park, Willesborough, Sevington, Town Centre etc.), condition and lease terms.

  • Lease Clause Interpretation: understanding exactly what your lease allows (or restricts) in the review process.

  • Comparable Evidence Reports: gathering recent, relevant lettings or rent reviews in your area to support your case.

  • Negotiation & Settlement: we handle this for you, whether you are the landlord or the tenant, to aim for fair and documented agreement.

  • Dispute Resolution: if negotiations stall, we can assist with expert determination, arbitration or legal escalation, fully prepared with evidence.
