Lease Options & Renewals Rental Assessments

Independent Rental Advice for Commercial Lease Decisions 

I provide independent rental advice and valuation services to assist landlords and tenants when exercising lease options or negotiating lease renewals.

Lease option and renewal decisions often have long-term financial implications. Independent advice ensures rental outcomes are aligned with market evidence, the terms of the lease, and prevailing commercial leasing conditions. I provide advise across Greater Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

Understanding Lease Options & Renewals 

Commercial leases commonly include options to renew or extend the lease term, often accompanied by a market rent reset or other review mechanism.

The way an option is exercised — and how rent is assessed at renewal — can materially affect:

• Ongoing rental liability

• Lease flexibility and risk

• Future rent review outcomes

Independent valuation advice assists in navigating these provisions with clarity.

When Independent Advice Is Required 

Lease option and renewal advice is commonly sought when:

• A lease option is approaching its exercise date

• Market rent is to be determined at renewal

• There is disagreement over proposed renewal rent

• Lease terms require interpretation or clarification

• Parties wish to avoid escalation to formal dispute
  
  

Early advice allows informed decision-making and reduces the risk of unintended outcomes.
