Know your exit options

A commercial lease exit is never straightforward. Before anything is put to the landlord, we review your lease, liabilities and market position to identify the clearest path forward, whether that’s a sublease, assignment or negotiated surrender.

Sublease

Recover costs while retaining your lease
‍

Where you have surplus space, a sublease can help offset occupancy costs while keeping your existing lease in place. We'll identify suitable subtenants, manage negotiations and guide the process through to completion.

Lease assignment

Transfer your lease to a new tenant
‍

When a full exit is the preferred outcome, a lease assignment can transfer your lease obligations to another tenant, subject to landlord consent. We help source and assess replacement tenants, negotiate terms and reduce ongoing exposure.

Lease surrender

Negotiate an early lease exit

‍
Where a commercial agreement can be reached, we negotiate directly with your landlord to secure an early lease surrender, limitfuture liabilities and achieve the cleanest exit available.
