When you receive a commercial lease, it can be hard to know what is fair or what could create problems later. Agents often push for a quick signature, which adds pressure when you still have unanswered questions. We review your lease, explain the risks and negotiate stronger terms so you can sign with confidence.
Renewal notices and rent increases can feel urgent, especially when the numbers don’t match your expectations. You may have more leverage than you think, but deadlines make it risky to decide alone. We review your position, explain your options and negotiate fairer terms that protect your cash flow and keep your business stable.
Growth plans come with new lease commitments, and the terms you agree to now will shape how your business operates long term. You need clear, flexible conditions that support future changes and avoid unexpected costs. We negotiate commercial terms that align with your goals and give you control as your business expands.
As a landlord, you want lease terms that protect your property and reduce disputes. Clear conditions around rent, repairs, outgoings and make-good obligations help secure reliable tenants and stable income. We review your draft lease, strengthen key clauses and negotiate commercial terms that support long-term investment performance.
Every commercial lease carries financial and operational risks. We review each clause carefully and negotiate the changes needed to protect your position and give you clear, workable terms.
We help you identify and negotiate the clauses that matter most, such as:
Rent and rent reviews: negotiating fair increases and predictable rent structures.
Incentives and contributions: securing clear, enforceable agreements on fit-out or rental incentives.
Outgoings: confirming what you must pay and reducing unnecessary operating costs.
Repairs and maintenance: defining responsibilities so you’re not covering unexpected building issues.
Make-good: reducing end-of-lease liabilities and avoiding costly surprises.
Personal guarantees and security: limiting exposure and negotiating reasonable security terms.
Renewal rights and key dates: ensuring timelines, options and triggers work in your favour.
These terms have long-term financial impacts. Strong negotiation now protects your position and reduces future risk.
You need clear advice, strong negotiation and a lawyer who understands how each clause will affect your business long term.
We focus on the terms that matter most, explain your position in plain English and negotiate fair, workable conditions that support your goals.
