Restaurant premises — Southampton (BN1)

The quoting rent is £792,052 pa across 16,845 sq ft. Total occupancy cost also includes business rates (estimated £309,043 a year based on a rateable value of £619,324), buildings insurance, utilities and any fit-out. Rates, service charge and insurance are indicative — confirm the current figures with the marketing agent before you commit.

Lease length, break options, rent reviews and repairing obligations are agreed with the landlord — most UK commercial leases run 3 to 10 years with a tenant break and upward-only reviews at five-year intervals. Ask the marketing agent whether the lease is inside or outside the security-of-tenure provisions of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, and whether a rent-free fit-out period is on offer.

The listed use class is E(c) within the restaurants & takeaways sector. Since the 2020 Use Classes Order many commercial, business and service uses sit within Class E and can change without a planning application, but sui generis uses (such as drinking establishments, hot food takeaways and cinemas) do not. Confirm the permitted use and any restrictive covenants with the local planning authority before signing.
