12 Hobart Place – All’s Well that Ends Well


Our Clients, Libra, headquartered at 13/14 Hobart Place, received a break notice from the Landlord, to terminate their lease on overflow offices at 12 Hobart Place as from October, partly for the Landlord’s own occupation, and partly for re-letting.

Our Clients were intent on renewing the entire building, comprising 4,445 sq ft, and after fierce negotiations renewed until October 2020, subject to mutual break clauses, at 7% higher than the rent they were paying, with 4 ½ months’ rent free period, subject to a 2 year contribution to accommodate the Landlords in alternative offices at, under £50,000 per annum.

The rent free period covered the contribution.

So all in all, our Clients ended up renewing at the rent they were previously paying, despite the fact that they initially faced being thrown out on the street.
