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 you want to do with the premises, whether the length of the lease will be appropriate for your circumstances and how rent will be recalculated each year.
Usually the landlord’s lawyer will prepare the lease documents so we will need to check it carefully to make sure there are no tricky clauses that might trip you up later. We’ll also give you some advice about whether there are any extra legal protections for your benefit if you are a retail tenant.
If any amendments are required we will negotiate these directly with the landlord’s lawyer and then make sure the lease is properly signed. Sometimes, if the property is subject to a mortgage, we will also need to arrange for the landlord’s bank to consent to the lease to make sure you are protected if the landlord is in breach of its mortgage.
Once the lease is fully signed, we’ll provide you with the information you need to comply with your obligations and so you can diarise up the times your legal notices are due to be received to deal with the renewal of the lease and reviewing the rent. When the time comes we’d be happy to help you tick of these jobs 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.
