Adelaide conveyancer preparing a commercial lease agreement

Commercial & Retail Lease Agreements Adelaide

At Trevor White Conveyancers, we've prepared and reviewed leases for South Australian landlords and tenants since 1991. Whether you're leasing a shop, an office or commercial premises, we prepare your commercial lease agreement, disclosure statement and guarantee, and explain your rights and obligations in plain English.

From our office in the Adelaide CBD, we make sure your lease is clear, compliant and protects your interests.

Commercial and retail lease preparation

We prepare and review commercial and retail leases for both landlords and tenants. A well-drafted lease sets out the term, rent, outgoings, options and responsibilities clearly, so both parties know where they stand. We tailor each lease to your situation and make sure it complies with South Australian law.

What we prepare

Depending on your needs, we can prepare or review:

  • The lease or deed of lease
  • The disclosure statement required for retail leases
  • A guarantee to secure the lease
  • Variations, renewals and assignments of existing leases

Retail leases and the Retail and Commercial Leases Act 1995 (SA)

Retail leases in South Australia are governed by the Retail and Commercial Leases Act 1995, which gives tenants certain protections and requires landlords to provide a disclosure statement. We make sure your lease meets these requirements, so it holds up and there are no surprises later.

Landlord or tenant, we can act for you

Whether you're a landlord protecting your investment or a tenant committing to premises, we explain the terms before you sign and make sure the lease is fair and enforceable. You deal directly with an experienced conveyancer every step of the way.

“Very friendly staff. Would highly recommend if needing a conveyancer.”
