Commercial lease advisory
Tenant-side lease reviews, renewal and renegotiation strategy. We read the lease, benchmark the rent and incentives, build your position, and brief your solicitor. Eight-week typical timeline.
Lease reviews, lease-vs-buy strategy, acquisition support and portfolio review, focused on Victoria. Independent and fee-only — we sit on your side of the table and bring in licensed agents and valuers where the law requires one. No commissions taken.
Most SMBs treat property as a cost line nobody owns. The lease renews because it always has, the rent goes up because it always does, and nobody checks whether the freehold next door is worth buying. We're the firm that owns the property side of your business on a partner-led retainer.
Our Property practice is advisory: we help you make and execute the big property decisions, then bring in licensed specialists to transact. Lease advisory for tenants (reviews, renewal and renegotiation strategy, fit-out and surrender). Acquisition and disposal support for owner-occupiers and small investors — sourcing, due diligence and negotiation strategy alongside your agent and solicitor. And asset strategy for clients deciding whether to lease, buy, build or sell their footprint.
We are not a licensed estate agency, and we don't pretend to be. We don't sell, let, manage or formally value property ourselves — where that's required, we bring in and coordinate a licensed agent or Certified Practising Valuer. What you pay for is independent strategy and negotiation support, fee-only, with no commission riding on the outcome.
Tenant-side lease reviews, renewal and renegotiation strategy. We read the lease, benchmark the rent and incentives, build your position, and brief your solicitor. Eight-week typical timeline.
Owner-occupier freehold and small investment purchases and disposals. Sourcing, due diligence and negotiation strategy, project-managed alongside your licensed agent, conveyancer or solicitor.
A market scan, an NPV model with sensitivity analysis, and a written recommendation on whether to renew, relocate or buy. The Finance practice next door contributes the modelling.
We review your leases and property costs as a portfolio, flag over-rent and upcoming critical dates, and prioritise where to act. Where a formal valuation is needed, we engage a Certified Practising Valuer.
NABERS, energy-efficiency and statutory-compliance planning (essential safety measures, OH&S, fire). We scope the work and coordinate the accredited assessors who sign it off. Boring but expensive when missed.
Lease review or renegotiation strategy: AU$3,800 – AU$12,000 per lease, fixed-fee. Portfolio rates lower per-lease.
Acquisition & disposal support: AU$8,000 – AU$32,000 fixed-fee per transaction, depending on complexity. No percentage of purchase price.
Lease-vs-buy or portfolio review: scoped per project on the one-page proposal. Most sit between AU$4,000 and AU$15,000.
Licensed agency work and formal valuations are handled by the specialists we coordinate, billed separately and transparently — we don't mark them up.
A Valeron property advisor will be on the call. Forty-five minutes. One-page proposal by Friday if it's a fit.
