Frequently asked questions

Do I need a lawyer to review a commercial lease?

Yes. Commercial leases often contain significant financial and legal obligations. A solicitor can help identify risks before you sign and explain what the lease means in practical terms.

Can commercial lease terms be negotiated?

Yes. Many commercial lease terms can be negotiated, including rent, incentives, renewal options, fit-out obligations, personal guarantees and make good clauses.

What is the difference between a retail lease and a commercial lease?

A retail lease usually applies to certain retail businesses and may involve additional disclosure and statutory obligations. A commercial lease commonly applies to office, industrial and other non-retail premises.

Why are make good clauses important?

Make good clauses can require a tenant to repair, remove fit-out, repaint or restore premises at the end of the lease. These obligations can be expensive if they are not understood before signing.

Can you help with a lease assignment when buying or selling a business?

Yes. If a business operates from leased premises, lease assignment and landlord consent are often critical parts of the business sale or purchase process.

What happens if there is a commercial lease dispute?

Commercial leasing disputes may involve negotiation, mediation, tribunal proceedings or court action depending on the circumstances. Early advice can often help resolve disputes more efficiently.
