What to Expect from LeaseAlert
LeaseAlert is currently in development. Here is what the product will do when it launches, and how it will help protect your business from missed lease deadlines.
The Problem We Are Solving
UK businesses renting commercial premises face a hidden risk: critical lease deadlines buried in legal documents that are easy to miss. A break clause that requires six months' notice. A rent review that defaults to the landlord's figure if you do not respond. A dilapidations obligation you did not know existed until your lease expires.
Missing any of these deadlines can cost tens of thousands of pounds. Most small business owners track these dates informally -- a calendar reminder here, a Post-it note there -- and too often, things slip through the cracks.
How LeaseAlert Will Work
Step 1: Enter Your Lease Details
When you sign up, you will add your property and enter the key dates from your lease. This includes break clauses, rent review dates, lease expiry, service charge deadlines, insurance requirements, and any other important dates. The process takes less than five minutes per lease.
Step 2: Receive Escalating Reminders
LeaseAlert sends reminders at five stages before each deadline: six months, three months, one month, two weeks, and one week. Each reminder explains what the deadline is, why it matters, and what you need to do. Reminders arrive via email and, on the Standard and Business plans, push notifications.
Step 3: Take Action with Confidence
Each reminder includes a plain-English explanation of the relevant clause and, where appropriate, a template letter you can customise and send. For a break clause, that might be a formal notice letter. For a rent review, it could be a challenge to the proposed figure. No legal jargon, no ambiguity.
Reminder Timeline Example
Here is how LeaseAlert handles a break clause with a deadline of 1 September 2026:
First alert: "Your break clause deadline is in 6 months. Here is what this means and what you need to prepare."
Second alert: "Your break clause deadline is in 3 months. If you intend to exercise it, now is the time to start drafting your notice."
Third alert: "Your break clause deadline is in 1 month. Your notice must be served by 1 September. Here is your template letter."
Fourth alert: "Your break clause deadline is in 2 weeks. Have you served your notice? Confirm or take action now."
Final alert: "Your break clause deadline is in 7 days. This is your last chance to serve notice. Missing this deadline could lock you into your lease."
