Institutional lease
The typical institutional lease has been developed in England
since the 1960s to meet the requirements of the pension funds
and insurance companies investing in property. Generally tenants
pay for all repairs and insurance to give the landlord a clear
net income and minimise his management costs. Traditionally the
term has been 25 years without options to break (see break clause)
and with 5 yearly upwards only rent reviews.
Interim rent
A landlord may apply to the court to fix an interim rent when
he has given notice of termination of a tenancy or where the tenant
has served notice of a request for a new tenancy on the landlord.
Investment
yield
Annual rent passing as a percentage of the capital value. |
