Solicitor, Charles Russell Speechlys LLP
Georgina advises clients on resolving contentious property issues in both the commercial and residential spheres, including in the specialist fields of telecoms and service charges. Career highlights include achieving success for a landlord client in opposing the grant of a renewal lease to Santander, on the basis of a proposed redevelopment (Santander UK plc v LCP Estates Limited [2018] EWHC 2193 (Ch)). Successfully defending an application under section 84 of the LPA 1925 by a long leasehold tenant who sought to vary its lease user restrictions. The decision in Edgware Road (2015) Limited v. Church Commissioners for England [2020] UKUT 0104 (LC) preserved the Church Commissioners’ ability to control the management of their estate. She also assisted in successfully obtaining vacant possession of a rooftop of a block of flats in Wembley against a number of telecoms operators, to allow the block to be sold for redevelopment.

In an unopposed lease renewal under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, improvements carried out by the tenant are to be disregarded when establishing the rent. Would improvements carried out under an agreement for lease but prior to the actual commencement of the lease amount to improvements carried out 'during the current tenancy' and thus fall to be disregarded (assuming they were carried out by the tenant and not pursuant to an obligation to the landlord)?
