Commercial Lease.
A Commercial Lease, sometimes called a Commercial Tenancy, are legally binding contracts between a business owner (referred to as the tenant or lessee) and the owner of the property (referred to as the landlord or lessor).
Commercial leasing is generally standardised for most commercial property, and we have developed fixed fee leases to suit most situations.
There is usually no need for us to meet with you in person to take instructions from you, or draft a commercial lease, it can all be done remotely.
However, we have offices in Brisbane and on the Sunshine Coast, so if we need to, or if you prefer, we can meet in person to prepare a commercial lease.
Ready to Meet.
Feel free to reach out with your enquiry, question or request. We’d be happy to have a quick chat if you are not sure what you need and let you know if we can help.
