Checklist for leasing your property

The process for listing a site for lease can be made a lot smoother for everyone if a number of things are completed earlier rather than later. As we want to give your property the very best chance of getting tenants as soon and as painlessly as possible it will be of huge assistance to have some of the following information ready to go or to have a decision ready when the questions arise. The topics of interest will include: 1. What is your expectation of the lease? Will it compare well with other sites that are similar with regards the per square metre rate? 2. How can we maximise the property to get the best rate? 3. Are you, as the landlord, prepared to spend any money on the site, for example assist with the fit out or put carpet down etc? 4. Are you prepared to give a rent holiday for a new tenant to allow them to set up or for a period to get some cash flow started? 5. What are the outgoings of the property, rates, insurance, body corp etc? 6. When was the last review or valuation done on the property with regards the lease? A market appraisal will assist in positioning the site in the market. 7. What marketing are you looking to use. There are a number of options that are worth exploring to give the best coverage possible? 8. Will we be able to put signs up in the window or on the frontage? Consider the installation of a larger sign with more information for prospective tenants to see, this will provide 24/7 advertising. P L A N N I N G C H E C K L I S T
