• Due to timing lag, the strategy for this RR should be considered in isolation • Use time ahead of RR to create evidence in building to set new benchmark to use at RR

• Any increase will help to lay foundations for later RR performance, particularly if no deals • Closely monitor evidence in other key towers to reinforce case
can be engineered in intervening 12 month period following this RR
• Consider using tight third party timetable in lease (arbitrator award within 20 working days
• No agent used on acquisition – opportunity to leverage principal to principal relationship to of appointment) to apply pressure
secure an increase – potentially weakens reliability of evidence but more preferable to have
an increase than to have it documented at a nil increase • Acquired by agent with RR specialism (Cushmans) – consider pre-agreeing if market
deems unlikely to perform
• Possibility of settling RR as part of lease re-gear (waive 2027 break) - subject to covenant
strength

• If no conventional increase achievable, try to structure settlement as part headline and rent
