How Aqqord works, step by step

Choose an office, retail or industrial lease, or a licence for alterations. Each lease covers part or the whole of a building, and the industrial lease also covers a unit on an estate.

Which contracts can I create?

Add the parties

Invite each party by email. They join the negotiation on their own computer or phone.

Negotiate the terms

Agree the heads of terms online. Each side sees the other’s changes as soon as they’re made.

Propose the terms

The landlord, or their agent, proposes the terms and sends them to the tenant to review.

How negotiation works

Review and respond

Each term can be approved, or answered with a different proposal for the other side to review.

The heads of terms can also be reviewed and approved as a whole.

Sign and complete

Sign and complete your legally binding lease.

Choose how each party signs

The platform offers the execution methods that apply to each signing party, and each party chooses its own.

Sign

Each party signs online with an e-signature.

Complete

Once both parties have signed, the landlord completes the lease.

The signed documents are emailed to all the relevant parties and are available to download.

After completion

The platform can deal with the filings for you.

SDLT or LTT

Any Stamp Duty Land Tax, or Land Transaction Tax for property in Wales, is your responsibility. Aqqord can assist: the platform calculates the tax for your approval and can make the return to HMRC or the Welsh Revenue Authority based on the agreed heads of terms. You pay the tax directly.

Land Registry

If the lease needs registering, the tenant can register it through the platform and pay Land Registry directly through a link Aqqord supplies.

Your documents

All documents are stored on a secure server in the UK and backed up off site regularly. You can download them at any time.
