Commercial Property Legal Services

Commercial property matters vary widely, but these scenarios reflect many of the property legal issues we help resolve:

e.g "The landlord's lease terms seem one-sided, but we need this location for our business."

Lease Negotiation & Review

Commercial leases are complex, long-term commitments that can make or break your business. Whether you’re securing your first premises or renegotiating existing terms, we ensure your lease protects your interests while giving you the flexibility your business needs.

We can help with:

  • Commercial lease negotiation and review
  • Retail, office, and industrial lease agreements
  • Lease renewals and rent reviews
  • Assignment and subletting arrangements
  • Make good and restoration obligations

We review all lease terms, identify potential problems, and negotiate on your behalf to secure fair conditions that support your business operations rather than constrain them.

e.g "We want to buy our business premises but need to understand all the legal implications"

Buying or Selling Commercial Property

Commercial property transactions involve significant investment and complex legal requirements. Whether you’re buying your first commercial property or selling existing assets, we handle all legal aspects to ensure smooth completion while protecting your financial interests.

Common property transactions:

  • Commercial property purchases and sales
  • Due diligence and property investigations
  • Contract negotiation and settlement coordination
  • Strata title and community scheme properties
  • Investment property acquisitions

We conduct thorough due diligence, review all documentation, and handle settlement procedures while keeping you informed of progress and any issues that arise.

e.g "We want to subdivide our property for development, but don't understand the legal requirements."

Development and Planning Matters

Property development involves navigating complex planning laws, council requirements, and legal obligations. Whether you’re subdividing land, developing commercial premises, or securing planning approvals, we guide you through the regulatory maze.

We handle:

  • Subdivision and development applications
  • Planning and zoning compliance
  • Development agreements and joint ventures
  • Construction contracts and building approvals
  • Council liaison and regulatory compliance

We work with planning consultants and other specialists to ensure your development project meets all legal requirements while minimising delays and regulatory risks.

e.g "Our landlord is trying to evict us unfairly, and we need to protect our business."

Resolving Property Conflicts

Property disputes can threaten your business operations and location security. When conflicts arise over lease terms, property boundaries, or landlord obligations, we provide strategic legal action to protect your property rights and business interests.

Common property disputes:

  • Lease disputes and eviction proceedings
  • Rent review and lease renewal conflicts
  • Property boundary and easement disputes
  • Building defects and warranty claims
  • Strata title and body corporate issues

We focus on resolving property disputes efficiently while protecting your business operations and preserving your ability to continue trading from your premises.

One Result: Confidence

Commercial property matters handled with thorough expertise, clear communication, and genuine focus on your business success.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we regularly assist with subdivision applications, development approvals, and planning compliance matters. We work with planning consultants and other specialists to guide your project through the regulatory requirements while protecting your legal interests.

While not legally required, having a professional legal review of commercial leases is strongly recommended. Commercial leases are complex, long-term commitments with significant financial implications. Professional advice often identifies unfair terms and negotiates better conditions, potentially saving thousands over the lease term.

Careful lease review and negotiation are essential. This includes ensuring fair rent review mechanisms, appropriate make-good obligations, flexibility for business changes, and protection against unfair eviction. We help negotiate terms that protect your business interests.

Timeframes vary depending on the complexity of the transaction. Simple lease reviews might be completed within days, while complex property purchases can take 6-12 weeks from contract to settlement. We’ll provide you with a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.

We believe in transparent pricing with no surprises. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide a clear cost estimate based on your specific property matter. Many property transactions can be handled on fixed-fee arrangements, giving you cost certainty. We always explain all costs upfront before you commit.

Landlord breaches can include failure to maintain the property, unreasonable rent increases, or wrongful eviction attempts. We assess the breach, advise on your rights, and take appropriate action to protect your tenancy and business operations.

Key areas include rent review mechanisms, maintenance and repair obligations, permitted use restrictions, assignment and subletting rights, and make good requirements. We review all these aspects and explain their practical implications for your business operations and costs.
