A landlord owns a ground floor shop as well as an upstairs office. The office is maybe one third of the downstairs shop space.
Both properties were vacant. Previously the downstairs shop occupied all the signage space as per the Swinton shope below in the pic. The new tenant, an accounting firm on the first floor office has taken the entire white board space in the pic below together with the space above the left door representing the 0800 412 part of the space.
Landlord said he informed the tenant that its probably illegal but tenant said he spoke to the council who said its ok. As a potential income tenant, we now have hardly any signage space compared to what was there before and the downstairs area is 3x the upstairs.
Any thoughts on what can be done about this if we were to proceed and want the original signage space back?
