How We Can Help You

Lease Drafting and Review

We meticulously draft and scrutinise lease agreements, ensuring they are comprehensive, legally binding, and tailored to protect your interests, whether you’re a landlord or tenant. 

In the lease agreement, we will carefully address terms such as duration, rent, renewals, and termination.

Negotiation

We’ll act on your behalf and use our expertise to negotiate lease terms that are favourable to you or your business. We’ll focus on areas like rent amounts, lease duration, fit-out contributions, and maintenance responsibilities.

Dispute Resolution

Disputes between tenants and landlords are inevitable. If you’ve had disagreements with the other party regarding lease terms, maintenance obligations, or other issues, we’ll negotiate on your behalf and find an amicable solution. 

We’re also more than prepared to fight for you in court, if it ever comes down to that.

Renewal and Termination

If you’re at the end of your contract, we can guide you through the complexities of lease renewals or terminations, whichever you decide. We’ll negotiate terms and manage the end-of-lease obligations such as make-good provisions.

Terminating a lease early may result in financial penalties, such as paying the remainder of the lease or covering the landlord’s costs to find a new tenant. Negotiations can sometimes reduce these penalties.
Approach renewal with a clear understanding of your business needs and the current market. It’s an opportunity to renegotiate terms, potentially securing more favourable conditions based on your track record.
Tenants can often negotiate with landlords for contributions towards the interior fit-out, especially in a tenant-friendly market or for long-term leases. The exact terms, such as the contribution amount and repayment conditions, vary widely.
The lease agreement specifies who is responsible for what repairs. Tenants usually cover routine maintenance and repairs within the leased space, while landlords might be responsible for the building’s structural integrity and common areas.
Subleasing requires checking the original lease for permissions and possibly obtaining landlord approval. It’s important to establish clear terms with the sublessee that align with the primary lease.
Rent is typically based on the square footage of the leased space, adjusted for factors like location, lease duration, and market trends. Understanding these factors can help negotiate better terms.
