Leasing property

Irene - Aside from any obvious Risk Assessments, if your company does not own the warehouse but instead are leaseholders, they may not be able to sub let any part of the space. Check your lease and liaise with a surveyor.

Planning permission possibly? It may pay you to speak to a chartered surveyor.

Irene, you will need to know the nature of their business to determine thier risks. You insurer should be able to guide through some of these risks and what you need to mitigate unnecessary risks.

Remember, that the Fire Reform Order will play a part for your premises. You will also need to consider security, and 3rd parties who come to the site. In any event you will need some professional health and safety advice to setup good risk assessments.

You contracts with this party need to be very robust, again you need legal support on getting these right or you will fall foul of the law under your landlords responsibilities.

Hi,
We are intending to lease a part of a warehouse premise to a tenant to open a tanning/beauty salon. Can forum members advise me on what risk assessments I would need to take (apart from the obvious fire risks are there any other responsibilities as landlords that we need to take into account?)
We're new to this so any help would be MOST appreciated !
Thanks
Irene
