Wondering if i could get some advice was recently made redundant and am planning to open a fast food outlet have picked out the premises and have got the planning permission needed. Have started negotiations with the landlord 15 psf + VAT, landlord has agreed to leave unit ready for renting ie. slabbed ,skimmed,suspended ceilings etc. He refuses to listen to any offers on the rent and refuses any sort of grace period from when i start trading.I have offered a 10 yr lease with a break in years 1 and 5 with no rent increase in the first five yrs which he has also refused + now wants deposit if giving a breakclause. This unit is on the outskirts of a fairly average town with a small college nearby ie. 1000+ students . There are six other units there and a large supermarket in the complex only supermarket is occupied with a service based office upstairs employing about 100 people. Any help would be greatly ppreciated as have been told rent is high but can live with it as small sq ft but his lack of willingless to compromise makes me think is it worth dealing with this landlord. Unit has potential but am thinking may end up working for landlord. Sorry for such a long post.
