Langham House, 302-308, Regent Street, London, W1

A small Tenant, Brookman Gorney Textiles Agencies, occupying less than 1,000 sq ft faced a lease expiry with the Crown Estate in a building where most other tenants had already vacated. Anthony Lorenz believed that the Landlords were going to redevelop or substantially reconstruct and the Tenant was inside the Landlord and Tenant Act. He therefore maintained occupation as long as possible and argued that the Landlord could carry out the refurbishment of that particular floor around the Tenant. Eventually the Landlord paid £140,000 to gain vacant possession.

Grosvenor Securities are the Landlord of this building comprising 6 shops and 20,000 sq ft of offices above.
After negotiations with the Government to include a break clause facilitating redevelopment, negotiations were undertaken with all the retailers to get their leases outside the Landlord and Tenant Act, with suitable break clauses, thereby facilitating full vacant possession or a major scheme to be constructed on the site.
