Your commercial lease, reviewed by an expert

A complete clause-by-clause review of your draft lease, covering financial exposure, operational responsibilities, flexibility and exit options, and risk allocation. This service applies equally to new leases and renewal proposals.

You receive a written red-flag report identifying the specific clauses that carry risk, what that risk means in practice, and clear recommendations on what to negotiate before you sign. Every review is carried out personally by Nicole-Olga Pulpea, Chartered Commercial Property Surveyor (MRICS) and Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS).

This service covers commercial lease terms — rent structure, costs, indexation, break clauses, service charges and negotiation strategy. For legal interpretation of your contract, you will need a qualified lawyer alongside me.

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.

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.

Your lawyer has reviewed the lease — but there's a specific clause that doesn't sit right and you want a commercial view on what it actually means in practice.

I give you a plain-language breakdown of any clause or set of clauses: what the term means commercially, what financial or operational risk it carries, whether it is standard in the market, and what a reasonable alternative position looks like. This is a different lens to legal advice — it covers the commercial implications your lawyer is not focused on.

Useful when your lawyer has flagged something and wants a commercial opinion alongside the legal one, or when you want to understand one specific term in depth before signing.

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.
