Property Documents for Charities

These Lease, Sublease, Licence, and Tenancy at Will and related documents have been professionally drafted for use where a charity is to enter into occupation of various types of office or retail premises (on a short- or long-term basis) or is to use land or other premises for a short period. There is also a form of sublease for use where a charity has a lease of offices and wishes to sublet any of its surplus space to another organisation or person.  

The Lease subfolder also contains a Guidance Note on Excluding Security of Tenure and a guidance note about certain legal formalities to be implemented where a freehold is acquired by or leased to a charity, or a freehold is disposed of or leased by a charity.

Changes to the way a charity can deal with property have been made by the Charities Act 2022 which received Royal Assent on 24 February 2022.  The documents in this folder take into account those amendments to the law that were brought into effect on 14 June 2023.  Further provisions of the 2022 Act were brought into effect on 7 March 2024 and the relevant documents in the Lease subfolder will be amended later in 2024 to take account of the changes made on 7 March 2024. For a summary of the changes on other topics under this Act, please see our information pages on the Charities Act 2022

The documents are easy to use. The documents are constructed in Word format and can be customised to meet your requirements. Please click on the links below to view details. Where necessary, each document includes wording required to comply with the Charities Acts.
