Commercial Lease Plans

Lease plans that define exactly what a tenant is leasing. Tenancy boundaries, common areas, access rights and lease area calculations, measured on site in operating buildings.

Vague Lease Areas Cost Money Later

An ambiguous lease plan does not cause a problem on day one. It causes it at the first outgoings review.

• Outgoings Disputes

  If the lettable area is uncertain, so is every charge apportioned against it. That argument repeats every year of the lease.

• Make-Good Arguments

  At the end of a lease, unclear tenancy boundaries turn make-good obligations into a negotiation nobody planned for.

• Expansion and Contraction Rights

  Options to take adjoining space are difficult to exercise cleanly when the existing boundaries were never precisely defined.

• Common Area Confusion

  Where the tenancy stops and the common area starts affects cleaning, maintenance, insurance and access. It needs to be on a plan.

How We Prepare a Lease Plan

We start from the lease requirements, then measure the building as it actually is.

• Review Lease Requirements

  We confirm what the lease needs the plan to define and what measurement standard applies before anyone attends site.

• Site Measurement and Survey

  The tenancy is measured on site. Where the building is complex or busy, we use laser scanning to capture it quickly with minimal disruption.

• Lease Area Calculations

  Areas are calculated from the survey, with tenancy boundaries, common areas and access clearly distinguished.

• Draft, Review and Deliver

  We draft the plan, run a final quality review and deliver it in the format your agent, lawyer or property manager needs.

What You Get at the End

A plan both sides can rely on, and the numbers behind it.

• Accurate Lease Plans

  Clearly defined tenancy boundaries with common areas and access identified.

• Lease Area Calculations

  Area calculations derived from the survey, ready to sit behind the lease terms.

• Suitable for Registration

  Plans prepared for lease agreements and for registration where required.

Lease Plan Questions

Lease Plans for Commercial Property Across Melbourne

What a Lease Plan Defines

A lease plan clearly defines the leased areas within commercial, industrial, retail and government properties. It identifies the tenancy boundaries, the common areas, the access rights and the associated lease information.

It is the document both parties point at when there is a question about what was actually leased.

Why Certainty Is Worth Paying For

Clearly defining the leased area provides certainty for landlords and tenants and reduces the potential for disputes. It also supports day to day property management and makes leasing transactions cleaner.

The cost of a lease plan is small against a single outgoings dispute, and trivial against a make-good argument at the end of a ten year term.

Do Lease Plans Need to Be Surveyed?

Many do, particularly for large commercial properties or where precise lease boundaries matter. Scaling areas off an architectural drawing assumes the building matches the drawing, and in existing buildings it frequently does not.

Where the stakes are lower we can advise on a simpler approach. What we will not do is present an estimated area as a surveyed one.

Surveying Occupied Buildings

We regularly complete surveys in operating commercial and industrial facilities, and we plan the work around trading hours and access restrictions.

For large or complex properties, laser scanning captures the whole tenancy in a fraction of the time of conventional measurement, which means less disruption to the tenant and a more complete record for the landlord.

Lease Plans and Strata

Where a building is being subdivided as well as leased, the lease plan and the strata plan need to agree with each other. We prepare both, so the lot boundaries and the tenancy boundaries are drawn from the same survey.
