Commercial Leasing

Efficient pre-contractual negotiations in leasing matters is vital to ensure that the terms of your lease are fair and reasonable and in accordance with industry and market benchmarks. Rent and other monetary obligations throughout the course of the lease term are commonly derived from the terms of the initial year hence, it is important to understand your rights and obligations of the lease for the entire leasing term. Obtaining good advice on and entering into negotiating of the terms of your lease are also vigilant safeguards of lengthy disputes in the future.

Development Approval and Planning

Development approval is required for most construction or renovation works on residential and commercial properties. This can be a lengthy process, especially due to council restrictions or neighbouring objections on your intended use, size, location or nature of your proposed development. We can assist you advising on your rights in relation to proposed developments and also in preparing and submitting a convincing application to the local council.
