Hotel Rent Reviews

In the hotels sector where the majority of rents are based on trade potential and profitability, rent reviews are often an emotive issue. For occupiers of a leasehold property, rent is frequently one of their principal overheads, and with the majority of rent reviews being “upwards only” there is a direct effect on both profitability and value. For investment properties, rent is a valuable stream of income and has an important impact on capital value. Rent reviews are negotiated via our team of chartered surveyors and are designed to provide clients with accurate, independent advice.
