Lawyers Specialising In Commercial & Retail Leasing

Overview

Starting, expanding, or relocating your retail premises is a significant decision that can shape the future growth of your business. As a landlord, your property assets are a significant investment you must protect. Whether a tenant or landlord, having clear terms and responsibilities in your agreement is crucial to having a mutually beneficial relationship.

Our property law team offers practical advice to guide you through every step of your agreement and help you understand your rights and responsibilities. We can assist you with drafting and reviewing leases, negotiating terms, and handling disclosure documents for both retail and commercial properties. Our proactive approach is designed to help prevent surprises by providing comprehensive, personalised support.

Experts in retail leasing

Retail leases differ significantly from other lease types, often leading to disputes over legislated time limits. Non-compliance can result in complex repercussions for all involved parties.

Initiating a new lease requires agreeing on terms and meeting all contract conditions.

For instance, strict disclosure obligations must be followed if you’re a landlord or lessor. Failure to provide the disclosure document within the required time frame might give the tenant, or lessee, the right to terminate the lease within six months.

A common mistake among self-managed properties is neglecting to remind the tenant about lease renewal. Such an oversight could potentially lead to financial repercussions. Therefore, it’s crucial to be vigilant about meeting all obligations to avoid unnecessary complications.

Our property law team is your reliable partner in retail and commercial leases. We offer practical advice grounded in extensive experience and expertise, guiding you to find a way forward.
