Guide only — this matter needs a solicitor. Under Irish law this work must be carried out by a solicitor, so it is not sold on this site. The information below explains what is involved so you can brief a solicitor with confidence.
OnlineLegalServices.ie is operated by Plus Promotions Limited, which is not a solicitor’s practice and does not give legal advice. To instruct a regulated practice, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
Once you sign a commercial lease, you are legally bound for the full term, so it should be reviewed before you commit. Key issues include rent reviews, repairing and insuring obligations, and restrictions on assignment and subletting.
Where your matter needs legal work, you instruct a solicitor directly; we provide information and self-complete templates only. The price is set, with no billable hours and no surprise invoices, and the service is fully online, so there is no need to travel to an office.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a commercial lease review cost in Ireland?
This page is a free guide — nothing on it is for sale. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate (a section 150 letter) before starting. Get quotes through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
Are upward-only rent reviews allowed in Ireland?
Upward-only rent review clauses are prohibited in commercial leases entered into after February 2010, but remain in some older leases.
What is a full repairing and insuring lease?
An FRI lease makes the tenant responsible for all repairs, including structural repairs, and for insuring the building. A schedule of condition can limit your liability.
