Recovering Arrears under a Commercial Lease in Scotland and England

Do you know the most effective route to recover arrears under a commercial lease—and how the process differs north and south of the border? This webinar was designed specifically for commercial property managers and landlords, offering practical guidance on recovering rent and service charge arrears in both Scotland and England.

Our Lisa Stratford and Jamie Renton walked you through the legal options available in each jurisdiction, highlighting the key differences and common pitfalls that can delay recovery or increase costs.

Critical topics covered included:

• the legal tools available in Scotland, including summary diligence and court actions;
• the English approach to arrears recovery, including CRAR, forfeiture, and court proceedings;
• practical steps to maximise recovery and minimise risk; and
• common traps for commercial landlords—and how to avoid them.

This session was designed to equip you with the knowledge to act decisively when arrears arise, understand the strategic options available in each jurisdiction, and know when to escalate or seek specialist input.
