Lease advisory / Nextura Ventures

The rent is
one line.
Read the rest.

The monthly rent is easy to compare. The rest of a lease takes more attention. We help owners and occupiers review the commercial terms of new leases, renewals and changes to existing arrangements.

What the clauses mean in practice

A lease connects the building to the way a business operates. An opening date can depend on fit-out access. A growth plan can depend on expansion rights. An apparently attractive rent can look different once common-area charges, parking, deposits and restoration responsibilities are included. These details are best considered together, before the main terms become difficult to change.

We organise the commercial discussion around the full period of occupation. That can include benchmarking the proposal, comparing options, preparing negotiation points and coordinating with the lawyers responsible for the agreement. For a renewal, we examine the current position and the alternatives early enough to make a considered choice. For an owner, the discussion also includes handover obligations, tenant requirements and the intended letting strategy.

Leave room
for a decision.

  1. When does the present lease expire, and what notice is required?
  2. What is included in the quoted rent and what is charged separately?
  3. What must the space provide at handover and at the end of the lease?
