At Upstate, we understand that leasing commercial property requires precision, insight, and a deep knowledge of the Northern Beaches market. With decades of experience and the largest real estate team in the region, we provide landlords and property owners with a seamless approach to commercial real estate for lease. Whether it’s retail, office, industrial, or mixed-use space, our focus is on matching the right tenants to the right properties efficiently and effectively.
Steps to Lease Commercial Property
Leasing a commercial property involves careful planning, strategic marketing, and expert negotiation. Our approach ensures your property reaches the right audience while achieving optimal rental outcomes.
Pre-Lease Preparation and Compliance
Before listing a property, we ensure it meets all statutory and safety requirements. From zoning and building codes to fire safety compliance and accessibility, our team guides you through every detail. Accurate documentation and compliance minimise delays and build confidence among prospective tenants, making it easier to lease commercial real estate quickly and securely.
Establishing Rental Terms and Inclusions
Setting competitive rental terms is crucial for attracting tenants. At Upstate, we consider market conditions, tenant demand, and property inclusions such as maintenance obligations, outgoings, and utilities to determine fair lease terms. Our local market knowledge ensures your property is positioned effectively for commercial real estate for lease on the Northern Beaches.
Marketing and Exposure Strategies
We employ a comprehensive marketing strategy to ensure maximum visibility. This includes listing on major property platforms, targeting investor and tenant databases, and leveraging off-market opportunities for high-demand properties. Professional photography, floor plans, and property descriptions help your space stand out, increasing the chances of securing the right tenant faster.
Tenant Enquiries and Lease Negotiations
Once your property is listed, we manage tenant enquiries, screenings, and negotiations to provide a smooth leasing experience.
Screening and Qualification Process
We carefully assess prospective tenants to verify financial capacity, business suitability, and lease-term intentions. By conducting thorough background checks and analysing tenant needs, we reduce the risk of lease defaults and ensure your property is leased to reliable businesses.
Handling Offers and Term Sheet Discussions
When offers are received, our team facilitates negotiations to achieve fair and balanced agreements. We prepare term sheets and manage discussions with prospective tenants to ensure clarity and transparency. This structured approach makes leasing commercial real estate straightforward and effective.
Finalising Commercial Leasing Agreements
After negotiating terms, we oversee the execution of lease agreements. From legal documentation to property handover, we ensure that all aspects of the lease comply with regulations and protect the interests of our clients. Our focus is on providing a seamless transition from listing to tenancy.
Ongoing Lease Management Considerations
Successful leasing extends beyond signing the agreement. Ongoing management ensures the property remains attractive and profitable over the lease term.
Maintenance Responsibilities and Access Protocols
We provide guidance on maintenance obligations, scheduling inspections, and access protocols. Our goal is to minimise disruption for tenants while protecting your property investment.
Rental Reviews and Renewals
Periodic rental reviews allow landlords to maintain market-aligned income. Our team handles lease renewals, ensuring terms remain competitive and beneficial for both parties, while maintaining long-term tenant satisfaction.
Managing Vacancies and Lease End Dates
Preparing for lease expiries and managing vacancies is essential to reduce downtime. Our proactive approach ensures properties are relisted promptly, maintaining consistent occupancy and rental revenue.
