LeaseAssured Introduces AI-Assisted Commercial Lease Platform With Solicitor Review

September 5, 2026 - 11:29

A new online service is now available for landlords and businesses across England and Wales, offering a guided route to producing commercial lease paperwork without starting from scratch. The platform, called LeaseAssured, pairs an AI-driven document builder with a mandatory review step carried out by a qualified solicitor before anything is signed.

The idea is straightforward. Instead of paying a law firm to draft a lease from the ground up, users answer a structured set of questions about the property, the term, rent review clauses, and repair obligations. The system then generates a draft lease based on those answers. But unlike a purely automated tool, the draft does not go straight to the parties. A solicitor checks it for errors, missing clauses, or anything that could create problems down the line.

That human check is the key difference here. Many DIY legal services leave users on their own once the document is generated. LeaseAssured has built the solicitor review into the price and the workflow, so there is no separate step where the user has to find their own lawyer. The company says this reduces the risk of a lease being signed with serious flaws, which can be costly to fix later.

The service is aimed at smaller commercial landlords who may only have a few properties, as well as tenants who have been handed a lease by a landlord and want an independent look before committing. It also covers renewals and variations of existing leases, not just new agreements.

For now, the platform only handles leases governed by the law of England and Wales. The company has said that Scottish lease rules are different enough that a separate version would be needed, and there are no immediate plans to expand.

The pricing is set below what most high street firms would charge for a bespoke lease, but it is not a budget checkbox product either. Each lease is treated as a one-off matter, and the solicitor review means there is a real person accountable for the final document. That may appeal to lenders too, who often refuse to accept a lease if they suspect it was produced without proper legal input.

The launch comes at a time when the wider property industry is slowly warming to legal tech, but many smaller players still rely on outdated templates that may not reflect recent case law. LeaseAssured is betting that the combination of speed and professional oversight will win over those who have been burned by cheap online forms in the past.
