Property Patter: Challenges for commercial property in 2025

Landlords and tenants of commercial property face economic challenges and a changing legal landscape. Specialists from our Real Estate, Real Estate Disputes and Insolvency Teams - Ben Butterworth, Emma Humphreys, Harriet Durn and Daniel Moore - discuss the key issues:

• The current consultation on whether there should still be statutory protection for business tenancies;
• The new law to allow local Councils to take control of letting High Street properties;
• Recent insolvency trends, particularly with CVAs and the new restructuring plans introduced by the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020.
