We'll catch up to discuss the proposed lease and give you some advice. We'll ask you lots of questions to make sure we understand your expectations like what the tenant will be permitted to do with your space, how long the lease will run for and how the rent will be calculated each year.
We'll run you through any things you need to know about your proposal too, because there's usually special rules that apply to leasing out your retail space. You'll also usually be required to provide the tenant with a fact sheet and a statement setting out the outgoings and other key details, so we can help with this too.
We'll settle the draft lease and once you're happy with it, we'll send it to the tenant (or their lawyer) for checking, negotiating any amendments, and for signing. Sometimes we will also need to work with your bank to obtain its consent to the lease, if you have a mortgage on title.
Once the lease is fully signed, we will provide you with the information you need to make sure you comply with your obligations while the lease is ongoing (especially when it comes to reviews of rent and giving the tenant the required notices for further terms). We'd be happy to help you tick these jobs off when the time comes too.
Our Meags grew up on a dairy farm near Cobden and has a genuine knack for people. It’s no wonder that she’s a wonderful host and embraces every moment she can, feeding food (and wine) to her friends and family at home. We all wish we could score an invite to her place at Christmas. Just maybe not when the Magpies are playing on TV. Yep, another Collingwood nutter!
You don’t have to drive too far to see Bec slaying her guitar with her pub rock cover band. The volume is quite a contrast to her upbringing on a peaceful farm! Bec comes from three generations of dairy farmers in Camperdown. That’s a lot of legacy, life experience and appreciation for practicality – all of which she naturally applies in her advice. And her clients love her for it.
Shaun cherishes the sense of community living in Camperdown, having moved from Geelong seven years ago. It’s no wonder he enjoys playing team sports, such as cricket, tennis and soccer. He and his lovely wife also have a young son and two dogs to run around after.
Grace loves the convenience of how close everything is in the country. From work, family, the supermarket and of course, her home. She grew up in Colac and learnt a lot of life experience from her parents who run a business in the ag industry. If you haven’t been lucky enough to meet her in the office just yet, find her watching the local Colac Tigers come the weekend.
Ash's upbringing revolved around shearing sheds, saleyards and running amok in the NSW bush. She's now enjoying bringing up her young son on the Bellarine and enjoying all that this area has to offer. If you ask Ash about football, she’ll tell you the Bombers are due for some strong finals action. We think she'll be waiting some time yet!
Our Saint ’Nick’ is not just a St Kilda supporter. He’s an avid video game player and enjoys listening to music to accompany the relaxing atmosphere of country life. We’re not sure if it’s his choice in football teams that makes him ultra-resilient or his two younger brothers. Maybe ask him when you chat to him next.
When the lovely Loz is not in the office keeping things in check, she’s operating at a slower pace embracing her latest book or the latest banter amongst her beloved family and friends. Like many of us, she loves being part of a supportive local community.
