THE FIRST SCHEDULE

RENT REVIEW

 

1

In this clause the President is the President for the time being of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors or a person acting on his behalf, and the Surveyor is the independent valuer appointed pursuant to paragraph 9 of this Schedule.

 

2

The amount of Rent shall be reviewed on the Review Date to the greater of:

 

2.1

the Rent payable immediately before the Review Date (or which would then be payable but for any abatement or suspension of the Rent or restriction on the right to collect it); and

 

2.2

the indexed rent determined pursuant to this clause.

 

3

The indexed rent shall be determined at the relevant Review Date by multiplying the Base Rent by the index value of the RPI for the month before the month in which the relevant Review Date falls, then dividing the product by all index value of the RPI for the Base RPI Month.

 

4

The Landlord shall calculate the indexed rent and shall give the Tenant written notice of the indexed rent as soon as it has been calculated.

 

5

If the revised Rent has not been calculated by the Landlord and notified to the Ten ant on or before the relevant Review Date the Rent payable from that Review Date shall continue at the rate payable immediately before that Review Date. On the date the revised Rent is notified by the Landlord to the Tenant the Ten ant shall pay:

 

5.1

the shortfall (if any) between the amount that it has paid for the period from the Review Date until the Rent Payment Date following the date of notification of the revised Rent and the amount that would have been payable had the revised Rent been notified on or before that Review Date; and

 

5.2

interest at the Interest Rate on that shortfall calculated on a daily basis by reference to the Rent Payment Dates on which parts of the shortfall would have been payable if the revised Rent had been notified on or before that Review Date and the date payment is received by the Landlord.

 

23


6

Time shall not be of the essence for the purposes of this clause.

 

7

Subject to clause 8 if there is any change to the methods used to compile the RPI including any change to the items from which the RPI is compiled or if the reference base used to compile the RPI changes the calculation of the indexed rent shall be made taking into account the effect of any such change.

 

8

If either the Landlord or the Tenant reasonably believes that any change referred to in paragraph 7 would fundamentally alter the calculation of the indexed rent in accordance with this Schedule and has given notice to the other party of this belief or if it becomes impossible or impracticable to calculate the indexed rent in accordance with this schedule then the Landlord and the Tenant shall endeavour within a reasonable time to agree an alternative mechanism for setting the Rent which may (where reasonable) include or consist of substituting an alternative index for the RPI. In default of such agreement an alternative mechanism shall be determined by the Surveyor.

 

9

If any question or dispute arises between the parties as to the amount of the Rent payable or as to the interpretation application or effect of any part of this schedule or if the Landlord and the Tenant fail to reach agreement under paragraph 8 the question dispute or disagreement is to be determined by the Surveyor. The Surveyor shall have full power to determine the question dispute or disagreement and shall have power to determine any issue involving the interpretation of any provision of this lease his jurisdiction to determine the question dispute or disagreement referred to him or his terms of reference. When determining such a question dispute or disagreement the Surveyor may if he considers it appropriate specify that an alternative mechanism for setting the Rent should apply to this lease and this includes (but is not limited to) substituting an alternative index for the RPI.

 

10

The Surveyor shall be an independent valuer who is a Member or Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. The Landlord and the Tenant may be by agreement appoint the Surveyor at any time before either of them applies to the President for the Surveyor to be appointed.

 

11

The Surveyor shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The Surveyor’s decision shall be given in writing and the Surveyor shall provide reasons for any determination. The Surveyor’s written decision on the matters referred to him shall be final and binding in the absence of manifest error or fraud.

 

24


12

The Surveyor shall give the Landlord and the Tenant an opportunity to make written representations to the Surveyor and to make written counter-representations commenting on the representations of the other party to the Surveyor. The parties will provide (or procure that other provide) the Surveyor with such assistance and documents as the Surveyor reasonably requires for the purpose of reaching a decision.

 

13

If the Surveyor dies or becomes unwilling or incapable of acting or unreasonably delays in making any determination then either the Landlord or the Tenant may apply to the President to discharge the Surveyor and paragraph 10 shall then apply in relation to the appointment of a replacement.

 

14

The fees and expenses of the Surveyor and the cost of the Surveyor’s appointment and any counsel’s fees or other fees reasonably incurred by the Surveyor shall be payable by the Landlord and the Ten ant in the proportions that the Surveyor directs (or if the Surveyor makes no direction then equally). If the Tenant does not pay its part of the Surveyor’s fees and expenses within ten working days after demand by the Surveyor the Landlord may pay that part and the amount it pays shall be a debt of the Tenant due and payable on demand to the Landlord. The Landlord and the Tenant shall otherwise each bear their own costs in connection with the rent review OR if either the Landlord or the Tenant does not pay its part of the Surveyor’s fees and expenses within ten working days after demand by the Surveyor then:

 

14.1

the other party may pay instead; and

 

14.2

the amount so paid shall be a debt of the party that should have paid due and payable on demand to the party that actually made the payment.

The Landlord and the Tenant shall otherwise each bear their own costs in connection with the rent review.
