Confirm permitted use
Before signing, confirm that the property can legally and practically support your business type, customer traffic, signage, storage, and operating hours.
Review access and parking
Commercial property should be easy for staff, customers, suppliers, and delivery vehicles to access. Parking and loading areas can affect daily operations.
Check power and operating costs
Ask about power supply, backup systems, metering, service charges, maintenance, security, cleaning, and shared facility costs.
Negotiate lease terms clearly
Clarify rent review, renewal, fit-out period, repairs, exit clauses, restrictions, and who pays for improvements.
