Awareness of green leases in real estate

This research paper assesses the level of awareness
of green leases in England and establishes the range
of current attitudes of various property professions
towards adoption of the green clauses in commer-
cial leases. The current willingness for landlords
and tenants to adopt a green lease is scattered and
not aligned with government initiatives to achieve
net zero. Best practice recommendations are needed
to ensure both landlords and tenants understand
what arrangements best fit their circumstances. For
the impact of green clauses to be maximised and,
where appropriate, implemented, they need to be
communicated in terms to which both parties are
happy to commit.
