Joanne McIvor looks at these issues and discusses how they have and will continue to become mainstream concerns.  
 
Landlords and tenants need to collaborate and solve together the challenges of where the liability lies for improving the environmental performance of buildings.  The drive for net zero properties could lead to stranded assets and a new class of distressed assets.
Lenders are already showing a keen interest in the energy and environmental performance of their investment portfolios.  We are seeing, and will continue to see, funding decisions impacted on ESG and the development of green finance mechanisms.
 
Joanne also discusses planning which is still in a state of flux and not enough has been done to support the high street.

Property & Trusts Litigation Partner Shams Rahman provides guidance for landlords and tenants on commercial rental arrears accrued during the coronavirus pandemic and the government’s arbitration scheme.

Shams discusses the government moratorium which restricted collection of commercial rent arrears during the pandemic, resulting in vast rental arrears and in some cases tenants becoming insolvent, leaving Landlords seeking to recover possession of their properties via forfeiture. He discusses in particular the longer term impact of the moratorium and remedies following its lifting where the government has encouraged both landlords and tenants to resolve their rent arrears disputes through a new arbitration scheme.
