# How do I check a solicitor’s draft lease against the Heads of Terms?

See every missing, changed or added term, with the clause number. No re-reading the whole lease.

Headline result: 5 of 7 terms need to be raised with the solicitor.

## What did the client ask for?

A Scottish property investment company was renewing a business centre lease. Their Asset Management Director asked for one thing:

> Compare Heads of Terms with Draft Leases

I built a Claude Skill around their two documents. Now he only reads the clauses that changed.

## What did the check find?

- Rent of £18,500 a year matches clause 3.1.
- The 5-year term matches clause 1.1.
- The tenant break changed from 6 months’ notice to 9 months’ notice (clause 9.2).
- The 3-month rent-free period is not in the draft lease.
- Repair changed from a schedule of condition to a full repairing lease, with no schedule attached (clause 4.3).
- The £2.50 per sq ft service charge cap is missing (schedule 4).
- An upward-only rent review at year 3 was added (clause 3.4).
