Corporate occupiers

The team at Maples Teesdale are experienced in acting for occupiers on all manner of transactions.

The team at Maples Teesdale are experienced in acting for occupiers on all manner of transactions. We have acted on a significant number of head office moves for large organisations, several of which involved the additional task of disposing of or consolidating existing premises, and also for occupiers of portfolios.  We offer a complete service and can guide occupiers through the process – starting with agreeing effective heads of terms and ending with fit-out and occupation itself.

Our advice is commercial and we understand that the key issues in taking space can often be practical in nature, for example agreeing the signage rights, obtaining consent to fit-out and ensuring there is adequate plant and riser space for a tenant’s use. We are experienced in dealing with these issues as well as the more technical legal negotiation.

Our ultimate aim is to assist occupier clients in managing their ‘space needs’ in a way that minimises business interruption. We are used to acting within tight timeframes if required. We are also happy to take on long projects which might involve planning for a client’s future needs.

Once in occupation we are able to assist with the ongoing management work, including assisting with the negotiation of renewals or the exercise of breaks.
