Discover the benefits of lease takeover and lease assignment for office spaces

Plekky understands better than anyone how important it is for office tenants to keep their flexibility, especially when faced with changes in how they run their business.

One of the solutions we offer to tenants who need to leave their office space but still have an ongoing lease is the process of lease takeover or lease assignment. In this blog we'll explain what this process involves and how Plekky can help you with it.

What is lease takeover / lease assignment?

Lease takeover or assignment is an arrangement in which a new party takes over the rights and obligations of the original tenant under an existing lease. This allows the original tenant to be released from their obligations without the risk of breaching the contract.

Benefits of lease takeover / assignment:

The benefits of lease assignment in brief: flexibility, cost savings and efficiency. Tenants can leave their office space without being stuck in long-term leases, giving them more flexibility to adapt to change.

Cost savings: Avoiding a breach of contract can spare tenants from paying penalties or losing their deposit. New tenants can also benefit from existing facilities and infrastructure, which can lead to cost savings too.

Efficiency: For landlords, accepting a lease takeover can speed up the process and reduce office vacancy. A win-win, then.
