Built for landlords
Why leave rent collection to chance?
Clear clauses, stronger remedies, cleaner renewals. That is the point.
What we draft
Lease types we draft
Different properties need different protections. A shared house is not a retail unit, is it? We tailor the wording so the lease matches the asset, the occupants, and the risk profile.
House in Multiple Occupation
Shared housing terms designed to reduce friction between occupiers and support house rules.
Commercial Property Lease
Retail, office, and industrial leases with commercial safeguards, repair obligations, and break rights.
Renewals and Deeds
Renewal, extension, guarantor, and rent deposit documents drafted to keep the deal tidy.
Fixed fees per property. Bulk discounts are available for portfolios and managing agents.
Compliance
Stay compliant with UK landlord law
Housing legislation shifts fast. Why let an outdated clause create a dispute later? We check the documents against the rules that actually matter to landlords.
Housing Act 1988
Core tenancy structure and possession grounds.
Tenant Fees Act 2019
Charging rules kept clean and defensible.
Fitness for Human Habitation Act 2018
Habitability provisions aligned with modern standards.
Renters reform updates
We keep an eye on the latest changes and adjust the wording when needed.
Landlord feedback
What landlords say
Busy portfolio, fast turnarounds, fewer headaches. That is what clients keep telling us. Could a tighter lease save you the same time?
“Our void periods dropped because the paperwork stopped dragging. Simple, clear, and properly landlord-focused.”

“Why did we choose Stratton & Scott Drafting? Because the leases were ready fast, and the clauses were strong enough to stand up in practice.”

FAQ
Your lease questions answered
Can I use the same lease for multiple properties?
You can reuse a framework, but the clauses should still reflect the property type, tenancy structure, and risk level. A one-size-fits-all lease often misses something important.
Do you handle eviction clauses?
Yes. We draft possession-related wording carefully so it supports enforcement without overpromising what the law won't allow.
What about deposit protection schemes?
We include clear references to deposit handling and protection requirements so the lease stays practical and defensible.
