As well as homes we rent out commercial properties to a range of businesses. If you rent commercial property from us, this information will be useful.
Repairs
If you rent a commercial property from us, then your lease will tell you whether a repair should be carried out by yourself or the Group.
Typically we're responsible to carry out repairs to the roof, structure and general exterior of the blocks where our commercial units are located. As a commercial tenant, you're responsible for repairs inside your commercial unit and to the shopfront (if there is one).
