Leases, Legal Agreements and Community Asset Transfer: What You Need to Know
Taking on a building or community asset can create exciting opportunities, but it also brings significant legal and organisational responsibilities.
This workshop provides a practical introduction to the legal issues organisations should consider before entering into a lease, licence, management agreement or Community Asset Transfer (CAT). We'll explore key lease terms, common legal risks, governance considerations, repair and maintenance obligations, negotiation points, and how different routes to ownership or occupation can affect your organisation. Community Asset Transfer and lease-based approaches are both recognised routes that organisations may consider when taking on assets.
The session is designed to cut through legal jargon and help organisations ask the right questions before signing on the dotted line.
Ideal for: Community groups, charities, social enterprises, trustees, directors and anyone considering taking on a building, land or other community asset
What will you gain from attending?
Participants will leave with a better understanding of the options available, the potential risks and opportunities, and the practical steps needed to protect their organisation.
