Commercial matters add layers: lease income, GST treatment (including going concern), land tax, permitted use, make‑good, outgoings, and often lender or tenant consents. I translate these into clear action items and align the contract with your commercial objectives.
I review the lease suite (heads of agreement, lease, variations, disclosure, deeds) for rent, options, incentives, make‑good, outgoings, assignments, fit‑out ownership, and arrears. I then advise on valuation impact, risk points, and amendments or price adjustments to pursue before exchange.
Earlier is better. A quick review of heads of agreement and the draft contract can prevent unfavourable terms being locked in. I help you set timelines, manage conditions, and negotiate protections before you’re committed.
Treatment depends on the scenario (e.g., taxable supply, going concern, margin scheme; registered vs. non‑registered parties). I work with your accountant to determine the correct treatment and then set up contract wording and disclosure correctly and guide apportionments at settlement to avoid disputes.
We address notice periods, licences to occupy, make‑good, and handover logistics in the special conditions, with clear milestones and consequences if timelines slip.
Typical adjustments include rent, outgoings, rates, water, and land tax (where applicable). I prepare or verify statements to reflect actual accruals and ensure the adjustments mirror the lease and the contract.
Yes. I prioritise key risk areas, provide same‑day or rapid turnaround advice where feasible, and offer targeted amendments so you can proceed confidently without missing critical dates.
