Hello, I’m Michael Lever, The Rent Review Specialist.

I specialise in rent review and business tenancy advise for landlords and retailers in England and Wales.

A commercial property surveyor, I specialise in negotiating rent reviews and business tenancy advice for landlords and retailers in England and Wales. 

As well as advising Clients, I contribute to professional wisdom and market intelligence by writing about rent review, lease renewal, and shop property. My publications are welcomed by solicitors, barristers, chartered surveyors, accountants, students, public and private property companies, private investors, banks, and multiple retailers. My letters and articles appear in Estates Gazette, Law Society's Gazette, Solicitors' Journal, Chartered Surveyor, Arbitrator, Estates Times, The Grocer, Ledbury Reporter, Financial Times, Property Law Bulletin, Central (Institute of Directors), Investor's Chronicle, Property Week and Retail Week. I contribute to the Property boards of Motley Fool UK; and the Community Blog on Reuters Real Estate.

In 1978, I published a pamphlet "The Framework of Rent Review Clauses" which was given publicity in the leading law and property journals. To make the information more accessible for landlords and tenants, in 1983, I published a 28-page booklet ' How to do a Rent Review' - which price at £5 was an instant hit; and in a letter to me was described by Professor John Ratcliffe, then Dean of the Faculty of the Built Environment at the Polytechnic of the South Bank, London as an "excellent digest of a particular complex area of professional practice and study".

In 1988 I published a booklet "The Psychology of Rent Review Negotiation" and after that numerous pamphlets and newsletters; and over the years, my contributions to the world of rent review are such that many of my original ideas nowadays pervade popular thinking.

All the information for what is possibly the only free on-line resource about rent review law for landlords and retailers in England and Wales can now be found by visiting my main website, www.michaellever.co.uk in the section Rent Review Law.

Whether rent review is all new to you, or you have years of experience, I look forward to helping you in some way.
