A free 15-minute phone call
Call us on 1800 776 529 and talk through your lease and what you need, at no charge. If you then want us to act, we tell you in writing how we will charge before any charged work starts.
Lease review: $1,100 including GST
Our fixed fee for reviewing a commercial or retail lease is $1,100 including GST ($1,000 + GST). It covers reading the lease, the disclosure statement and any letter of offer, written advice on the key terms and the clauses that carry the most risk, recommended changes in order of importance, and a follow-up phone call. For a lease over 60 pages or with unusual terms, we quote a fixed fee before we start. Negotiating the changes is quoted separately. See commercial lease review.
The basics
- Before we start work, we tell you in writing how we will charge and give you an estimate of the costs.
- Where the work allows, we quote a fixed fee.
- Otherwise we charge for the time spent, and the written estimate tells you what to expect.
- Court fees, search fees and other amounts paid to third parties are shown separately.
- If the estimate changes significantly, we tell you in writing.
Other work we usually quote at a fixed fee
- Preparing a lease and disclosure statement for a single retail tenancy.
- A deed of assignment, variation or surrender, once the terms are agreed.
- Exercising an option, or preparing an option reminder notice.
Negotiations and disputes are harder to predict, so we usually give an estimate for each stage instead.
