Our Commercial Property Lawyers Can Help With the Following

Commercial Leases

Commercial leases are vital agreements between commercial landlords and tenants that define the terms of renting business premises. These arrangements often involve complex negotiations around rent, transfer, duration, exit, and renewal options.

Whether you are preparing or reviewing lease documents, or seeking to resolve lease disputes, our property law experts offer the right advice to protect your rights under your lease.

Commercial Property and Farm Purchases

Purchasing commercial property and farms carry significant financial risk, especially when dealing with complex sale and purchase agreements and property developments.

When looking to purchase a commercial property, it is important to consider the property’s yield, rent review processes, the length and right of renewal of existing leases, and any chattels included in the purchase.

For purchasing a farm, factors a buyer should consider include livestock numbers and production, provision for feed, dwellings and titles on the property, equipment and stock, and overhead costs.

Our commercial property lawyers have extensive experience advising property developers and purchasers on the above considerations, ensuring that they secure the right premises for their business.

Whether you are acquiring a unit title, diversifying your property portfolio, or purchasing large-scale commercial properties, our team ensures you are informed every step of the way.

Commercial Mortgages

Commercial mortgages are essential for financing commercial property purchases, but they come with their own set of legal and financial considerations.

Commercial mortgages typically require a larger deposit compared to other types of mortgages, have an increased interest rate on repayments, and generally have a shorter term of 10 to 15 years for repayment.

At Evolution Lawyers, we offer expert guidance on securing a mortgage that suits your commercial property needs while minimising financial risks. Our commercial property lawyers are here to ensure you understand every aspect of your mortgage agreement.

Occupational Licences

Occupational licences provide businesses with the legal right to occupy commercial premises without the full rights and responsibilities of a traditional lease. Use of an occupational license can arise when businesses need flexible occupation terms, such as when dealing with franchise agreements, pop-up stores, or dealing with businesses operating in a shared office space.

Our team offers support in advising on these agreements, ensuring that your rights as a commercial tenant or landlord are clearly defined and protected.

We can help you secure the best terms for your commercial property needs. Our property law experts can advise you on the best structure for your occupational licence that aligns with your long-term business goals.
