Leasing Requirements
When it comes to buying or selling a business in Queensland, clients often overlook common issues related to the lease of the premises. At Gullickson Lawyers, we understand the complexities involved in navigating property law in this context.
Lease Terms: Clients may fail to carefully review the lease terms. These details can significantly impact the viability and profitability of the business.
Assignment Restrictions: Clients might not pay close attention to any restrictions on assigning or subletting the lease. This oversight could pose challenges if the business needs to be transferred to a new owner in the future.
Landlord Consent: Obtaining landlord consent for the transfer of the lease is often a requirement. Clients may forget to factor in the time and negotiation involved in securing this consent, leading to delays in the transaction.
Compliance Issues: Ignoring compliance issues with zoning laws, building codes, or other regulatory requirements related to the premises can result in legal complications down the line.
Rent Review Mechanisms: Failure to understand the rent review mechanisms in the lease agreement can lead to unexpected rent increases, affecting the financial stability of the business.
Gullickson Lawyers provide comprehensive legal support to help our clients avoid these common pitfalls and ensure a smooth transaction process. Contact us today to discuss your property law needs.
