Please bring ID with you.

On departure at the end of your tenancy, please ensure the unit is left in a clean and tidy condition, free of any refuse, stock or tenants fittings. You should ensure the unit is left in no worse condition than that which you found it in on arrival. Any making good that is required to be carried out by the landlord after your departure will be charged by way of deduction of the relevant amount from the damage deposit held by Appear Here.

The buildings are insured by the landlord. If you require insurance for your stock or the contents of the store during your occupation this must be arranged by you the occupier at your own cost.

If you affix anything to the walls of the premises or the windows, items must be removed prior to your departure and any damage made good at your own expense – this includes filling, sanding of holes made to walls and redecoration thereafter.

When the unit is unoccupied, please ensure it is locked securely using the keys provided. Whilst you are in occupation, you are liable to keep the unit secure and to ensure safe keeping of the keys handed to you when you entered the premises.

If you place any branding vinyls in the windows, please ensure these are placed on the inside of the windows and that the design of the vinyls is approved prior to them being erected. Please also ensure that the vinyls are of suitable quality to be easily removed by the occupier without causing damage when the occupation ends.

You may serve alcohol only during an event and then only free of charge to guests - the retail sale of alcohol is prohibited. Please inform the hotel Concierge if you are holding an evening event during your occupation. There is an absolute restriction that guests of any event are contained within the retail space itself and not in any external areas – guests are not permitted to congregate outside the unit at any time – this is a licensing restriction imposed by the local authority. The landlords reserves the right to close any event taking place where this restriction is not adhered to.

Music - Occupiers may play their own music within their stores should they wish but at all times any music played must not be audible outside the space.

Branding and advertising signs - Vinyls of a pre-agreed and approved design may be placed on the inside only of the shop windows and removed and the glazing cleaned at departure. Signs advertising ‘Sale’ or ‘Discounts’ visible from outside the store are strictly prohibited.

Any decorating works consented at must be done in a high-quality manner and the landlord will require redecoration at the end of the occupation to plain white matt emulsioned wall finishes at the occupier’s cost. External decoration or decoration of the ceiling or floors is strictly prohibited.

Heating and Ventilation - Each unit has a combined HVAC system that heats or cools the space. Whilst the system covers the entire development each unit has its own set of controls within the store which can be adjusted accordingly. There is also a hot air door curtain above each entrance door enabling entrance doors to be left open in a welcoming fashion during trading hours but mostly preventing heat from the unit to escape - again this system has its own controls within the unit. Do not at any time, block, attempt to decorate or meddle with the ceiling mounted HVAC system.

Fire controls and sprinkler system - These exist in each unit and are linked to the entire development. Sprinkler hoods should not be covered or tampered with in any manner.
