Commercial Lease Review Perth
Signing a commercial lease in Perth without a thorough review can lock your business into costly obligations for years — don't let that be you. Get a clear, plain-English breakdown of every clause that matters before you put pen to paper.
Why Commercial Lease Reviews Matter in Perth
Perth's commercial property market moves in step with the resources cycle, which means outgoings and operating-cost pass-throughs can balloon when mining activity drives up valuations — and landlords know it. If your lease is for a retail shop, it may fall under the Commercial Tenancy (Retail Shops) Agreements Act 1985 (WA), which gives you specific rights around disclosure, rent reviews and lease terms that are worth understanding before you sign. Retail shop lease disputes can go to the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT); other commercial lease disputes go to court. Whether you're taking space in the CBD, Fremantle, Subiaco or an outer suburb, the lease terms on offer in WA often favour the landlord, making independent review essential.

Does Western Australian law affect what I should look for in a commercial lease?
Yes — if your tenancy qualifies as a retail shop lease, the Commercial Tenancy (Retail Shops) Agreements Act 1985 (WA) sets out mandatory disclosure obligations and tenant protections that your lease must comply with. Retail shop lease disputes can go to the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT); other commercial lease disputes go to court. Either way, understanding your rights before signing is well worth the effort. Our review flags the clauses that may be worth negotiating before you sign.
Is this a legal advice service?
No — our report is a plain-English review that explains what your lease says and highlights clauses that may be worth negotiating or questioning, but it is not legal advice. We don't tell you what to do; we make sure you understand what you're agreeing to.
