Frequently Asked Questions About Renting A Restaurant in Sway

Learn More
What should I consider before renting a restaurant?
Consider the location, footfall, nearby competition, size of the premises, kitchen facilities, extraction systems, licensing, business rates, and whether the layout supports your concept. Planning permission and permitted use are also key.
What is the typical lease length for a restaurant?
Most restaurant leases in the UK are between 5 and 15 years, often with a break clause or rent review after a set period. Short-term lets or pop-ups may be available in some areas.
Do I need planning permission to open a restaurant?

What licences do I need to operate a restaurant?

Are business rates included in the rent?
Usually not. Business rates are typically paid separately by the tenant. However, some landlords may offer rent packages that include rates or service charges. Always confirm what's included.
What is key money and is it common?

Yes. Many restaurant premises are offered as lease assignments or with existing fit-outs. This can save on setup costs, but make sure to review existing equipment, licences, and obligations under the lease.
What should I check in the lease agreement?
Check repair obligations, permitted use, rent reviews, service charges, signage rights, and whether you can make alterations. Always seek advice from a solicitor familiar with commercial leases.
Can I renovate or fit out the restaurant space?
