Sometimes, less is more in a lease negotiation. 👀

When you're a business owner leasing a commercial property, what you reveal about your business can influence the negotiation.

In this case, despite a busy B2C business and significant investment in the site, the strategy was to keep expectations low when the landlord dropped by.

Why?

Because when lease renewal or renegotiation came around, there was no need to hand the landlord extra ammunition to justify a higher rent.

The business had already added value to the property through its fit-out.

The lesson? What you don't say can be just as important as what you do say.

Property pricing isn't always what it seems 👀

In residential property, a listing is often marketed at a level designed to generate interest, enquiries and competition, while the vendor may have a higher price expectation in mind.

Commercial property can work differently. The asking price may be set higher, with the expectation that negotiations will bring the final deal down.

Different markets. Different strategies. Same key principle:

Everything is negotiable.

Understanding the strategy behind the asking price can make a big difference when you're entering a property negotiation.

Before you buy the property, ask one question: 👇

🏢 Will this actually work for my business?

Look at:
🚗 Parking & clearways
👀 Visibility & accessibility
🔨 Fit-out potential
🚆 Public transport
📈 Population & infrastructure growth
💰 Long-term asset value

And most importantly...

⏸️ Pause.
👥 Get the right specialist advisers.
🎯 Don’t make decisions based on FOMO.

What works for someone else may not work for you.

Buying commercial property through your SMSF? 🏢💰

The property you choose isn’t just about what works for your business today.

It needs to work for your future too.

🎯 Choose the right asset
📈 Think about future value
⏱️ Get the sequence right
⚠️ Set up your SMSF BEFORE you buy

Buying first and sorting the SMSF afterwards can trigger stamp duty and other costs.

The big takeaway? Start the conversation early.

🚩 If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

When you’re being told a property or finance strategy is “perfect” for you, ask yourself:

🔍 Who benefits from this advice?
🏦 Are you being shown more than one finance option?
❓ If not, can they explain why?
⚠️ Are they actually licensed to give the advice?

One lender, one option, no explanation?

That’s a red flag. 🚩

Do your due diligence before making a major property decision.

All three of these mistakes we see business owners and organisations make repeatedly with commercial leases, are avoidable with the right advice before the decision is made, not after.

Consistent rental payments are often a signal of borrowing capacity. If you have been reliably paying rent to support your business, it is worth speaking to a commercial lender about what that means for your ability to purchase.

In this market, with buyer conditions as they are, it is a conversation worth having sooner rather than later.

SMSF is also coming up more frequently right now. The structure that many business owners are working toward is their SMSF owning the commercial property, with their business paying rent back into the fund. You are paying rent regardless. The question is whether it is building someone else's asset or your own.

Rules around SMSF purchases are strict. Get advice from your financial advisor and accountant. When you are ready to find the right property, that is where we come in.

When making an offer on a commercial property, most buyers focus entirely on the price. The terms of that offer matter just as much.

Once a price is agreed, you want special conditions in place that give you the window to properly investigate the site.

These investigations need to be listed in your special conditions before you sign. You cannot add them after the fact.

The conditional period is your window of protection. Use it properly📍
