# EXAMPLE: LEASE EXTENSION AGREEMENT

Date: 15 March 2029

Parties: Fallowfield Estates Limited and Beacon Retail Limited

## 1. Parties and subject matter

Fallowfield Estates Limited, registered proprietor of title SYK123456, and Beacon Retail Limited agree in principle to extend the lease of Unit 2, Fallowfield Parade, Leeds LS6 2AB, originally granted on 16 March 2014 for 15 years. The lease plan and superior lease are identified in Schedule 1.

## 2. Financial terms

The contractual extension adds 10 years, so the term will expire on 15 March 2039, subject to execution of a deed of variation or new lease acceptable to the parties and any lender or superior-landlord consent. The tenant's existing rights are not extended by this memorandum alone.

## 3. Use and obligations

Beacon will pay a premium of £48,000 plus any applicable VAT on completion and the revised annual rent will be £22,500 from 16 March 2029, reviewed every five years by the existing open-market formula subject to law.

## 4. Consent and management

All existing tenant covenants, repairing obligations, insurance contributions, permitted retail use and service-charge provisions continue unless Schedule 2 expressly changes them. Beacon must obtain planning, building-control and fit-out approvals and comply with the superior title.

## 5. Ending and remedies

Fallowfield will provide title information and apply for consent; Beacon will supply accounts, identity and lender information reasonably requested. Completion is conditional on satisfactory searches, no material breach, payment of the premium and agreement of the plan.

## 6. Legal reservations

The parties will execute the correct deed or lease, pay their own legal costs, and cooperate with Land Registry registration. SDLT, VAT, registration fees, lender consent and any title restriction are for the party legally responsible and must be checked before completion.

## 7. Signatures

Until completion the original lease remains operative. This memorandum is subject to England and Wales law and is not itself a registrable lease. Fallowfield: ____________________ Beacon: ____________________ dated 15 March 2029.
