Lease renewal

Renewing your lease should be a strategic decision, not an automatic one. We assess your current lease, workplace requirements and future business plans. And, if renewal is the right path, we'll negotiate stronger commercial terms that reduce costs, increase flexibility and protect your long-term interests.

Let's talk

Lease renewal negotiations

Strong lease renewal negotiations start with evidence, leverage and a clear understanding of the market. We help create competitive tension, test your current rent against market options and negotiate terms that protect your position.

Reduce occupancy costs

Protect future flexibility

Reduce end-of-lease risk

Secure greater landlord investment

Improve day-to-day lease performance

Strengthen your commercial position

Our lease renewal process

Our process combines planning, market intelligence and commercial negotiation to strengthen your position before discussions with your landlord even begin.

Strategy and planning

We review your existing lease, understand your business requirements and develop a negotiation strategy before engaging with your landlord. Rather than assuming renewal is the right outcome, we establish the criteria that will determine whether staying or relocating delivers the greatest value.

Market testing

Even when renewal is the preferred outcome, we take your requirement to market to identify and assess suitable alternatives. By engaging with competing landlords while maintaining discussions with your existing landlord, we create competitive tension and ensure any renewal offer is measured against current market opportunities.

Lease negotiation

We negotiate with your existing landlord while simultaneously progressing discussions with shortlisted alternatives. Running both pathways in parallel provides the leverage to secure the strongest commercial terms.

Transaction delivery

Once the preferred option has been agreed (whether renewing your existing lease or relocating) we help facilitate the transaction through Heads of Agreement, legal documentation and lease execution.

Should you exercise your option?

Not if you can help it.

Many occupiers assume exercising an option is the safest choice. In reality, it can reduce your negotiating leverage if you haven't first tested the market. Options are rigid, making you lose negotiation power and any rent review conducted may exclude incentives a new tenant would be offered.
