We are experienced in advising both landlords and tenants in all stages of the retail and commercial leasing process. As experienced negotiators, we can also help you achieve a lease agreement that suits your long-term needs and our aim is always to help you understand your rights and obligations at every stage. Additionally, we are well-equipped to manage any problems and we have the resources to act for you in disputes.

[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Can I negotiate the terms of my lease?" open="no"]

Yes, some lease terms negotiable. For example, you may be able to negotiate the rent amount, rent increases, lease term, exit and renewal options, and whether you can transfer or assign the lease.

We can help both landlords and tenants with the lease negotiation process, guiding you on fair market value and fair terms.

In complex leasing matters, it is important to negotiate a lease that is tailored to your specific requirements, and also contains terms reflecting the needs of your industry, your circumstances, and the use for which the property is being leased

[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title="Why do leases matter?" open="no"]

Commercial and retail leases are more complicated than residential leases because they are customised to each situation. Mistakes could make or break your business.

As a landlord, badly drawn leases may leave you in hot water if you need to repossess your premises or claim future losses after you have retaken possession. Most leases are drafted in favour of landlords – and most tenants sign them without second thought. So as a tenant, you must consider your own interests and seek to protect them.

Well-drafted leases benefit both parties and make things easier down the track if disputes arise. A good retail or commercial lease should protect the rights of both parties and allow for fair procedures if things go wrong. Landlords and tenants alike should seek legal advice on any proposed lease: this will help protect your legal and commercial interests, and ensure that your individual circumstances are taken into account.
