Leasing a shop
WDH owns 109 shop premises. You can view a list of
vacant shop premises here.
Rental amounts for our commercial properties are based on comparable evidence of similar properties in the same area. Rent is not inclusive of utility costs, business rates or contents insurance.
We prefer you to take out a long lease, however we realise businesses are often unable to commit to these. We will consider each case individually, taking into account the ways your business could benefit the community.
The lease agreement prevents subletting of part or all of the premises.
If you do not wish to continue your commercial lease, you will need to 'assign' it - in other words, sell your lease to a new tenant.
We may allow existing commercial tenants to assign their lease agreement to another person or business, subject to receipt of satisfactory
bank and trade references.
Contact us if you would like to apply to assign your lease.
