At a glance guide to Landlord and Tenant services in Ireland

One of our key specialisations is advising both commercial landlords and tenants. We understand the challenges our landlord and tenant clients face in an ever-changing market. In recent times, the COVID-19 lockdown periods provided challenges across the board for landlord and tenant alike and we were on hand to assist with rent concession arrangements and other relevant queries.

Looking ahead, resilient income will be the driving factor under pinning total returns. Strong landlord and tenant relationships are at the heart of this. Soaring energy and labour costs are increasing pressure on tenants across the board therefore open communication is key. Landlords are being asked to adapt to changing tenant demands – not limited to experiential retail, hybrid office working or sustainable built environments.
