Your commercial lease, reviewed by an expert

Fee: €400

Your lease is coming up for renewal — or your landlord has already sent you a proposal. Before you respond, you want to know whether what is being offered is reasonable, what still has room to move at this stage, and how to approach the conversation.

Renewal is not the same as signing a new lease. Certain terms are harder to reopen at this point, and the leverage available to you is different. This service is built around that reality.

You receive a written report covering your current lease terms, how they compare to the current market, which areas are realistically improvable at renewal stage, and a recommended strategy for how to approach your landlord. Where relevant, I will also guide you on the right questions to put to a local broker — brokers often hold specific intelligence about a landlord's position that is not available from market reports alone.

This is independent advice. I have no stake in whether you renew or leave — my job is to make sure you go into that conversation knowing exactly where you stand.

Market data coverage is strongest for Romania. For leases in other markets, the analysis draws on publicly available information and includes clear guidance on how to fill any gaps with the right local sources.

Fee: from €300 (one-off strategy brief; structured support across the full negotiation priced by scope at the outset)

You've identified the terms that need to change. Now you need a clear strategy for the conversation with your landlord.

You receive a written negotiation strategy brief covering your position, what is realistic to achieve given the size and type of your deal, and how to frame your requests in a way that is commercially credible. I can support you before negotiations begin, during active discussions, or at a specific decision point where you need a second opinion.

Available as a one-off brief or structured support across the full negotiation process — scope agreed at the outset.

Fee: €250 (written assessment, delivered within 3 business days; optional 30-minute follow-up call available at €75)

You have a specific concern about your lease — a clause that does not sit right, a cost you cannot reconcile, a condition you do not know how to satisfy, or a term your lawyer has flagged and you want a commercial view on.

I review the relevant section of your lease in context — not in isolation, because lease documents cross-reference themselves and a single clause rarely tells the full story — and give you a plain-language written assessment of what the issue means commercially, what it will cost you in practice, what is standard in the market, and what a reasonable alternative position looks like.

If you want to talk through the findings after reading the report, a follow-up call of up to 30 minutes is available as an add-on.

The standard fee applies where the total materials submitted do not exceed 100 pages including annexes. Where the scope is significantly broader on review, I will let you know before proceeding.

Fee: €300

You have already reviewed the lease — or had your lawyer look at it — and you want one professional check before you sign.

This is not a full review. It is a focused final-stage consultation for tenants who have done their groundwork and want a Chartered Commercial Property Surveyor to confirm whether anything material has been missed or is worth pushing back on before committing.

We go through the lease together, I flag what deserves a closer look, and you leave with a written summary of key points and any recommended actions.

If you have not yet reviewed the lease, the Full Commercial Lease Review is the right starting point.
