In summary, while assignment usually means a full and direct handover of lease rights and obligations, transfer is a broader term that might involve different arrangements or partial rights. Both require landlord consent and proper legal documentation.
The time required to assign a commercial lease can vary from a few weeks to several months, depending on several factors, including: How complex the lease terms are. How quickly the landlord consents to the assignment. The responsiveness of third-party solicitors in finalising the paperwork.
Assignment of a lease If a tenant assigns (transfers) the lease to another person, Stamp Duty must be paid on the assignment. You treat an assignment the same way as a purchase of property. Mary leases the premises in which she conducts her accountancy business from John.
Tenants of commercial premises who want to transfer or assign their lease, will have to obtain their landlords consent in the first instance. An assignment of a lease can only work if your landlord agrees with your intention to transfer the lease to someone else.
Assigning a lease simply means transferring your lease to another person so that they become the new tenant. Once the assignment has taken place the lease continues to exist and the new tenant becomes liable for all of the tenants obligations in the lease.

Most commercial leases require landlord consent for any assignment. To ask for this, you need to send a Request for Consent letter to the landlord. This letter should include details about the new tenant (assignee), like: The nature of their business.
If you agree with your landlord to vary your lease, this will usually be documented as a deed of variation. A deed evidences the changes made to the lease and avoids the potential for disputes in the future if one party were to allege that the changes were not agreed and is enforceable between the parties.
Once a lease has been assigned, the assignee will become the new tenant and will be responsible for payment of the lease rent(s) and ensuring compliance with all of the tenants obligations in the lease, including covenants in relation to repair and maintenance of the property.
