Property and legal review
Confirm the contracting entity, authority to lease, title and encumbrance review, approved use, premises description, access rights, common areas and any SEZ or regulatory status.
Map every referenced plan, approval and schedule to the exact tower, floor and unit. This guide is not legal advice.
Area and commercial terms
Define carpet, usable and chargeable area and the measurement document that controls. Review rent, escalation, deposit, lock-in, notice, maintenance, parking, utilities, taxes and payment triggers.
Identify rent-free or fit-out periods, conditions precedent, delay protection and which amounts remain payable before operations begin.
Technical capability
Validate power, backup, cooling, fresh air, connectivity, lifts, fire safety, accessibility, water, parking, loading and security against the planned density and shifts.
Require technical schedules and test or commissioning evidence where performance is critical.
Fit-out and handover
Agree possession condition, landlord works, design standards, approval workflow, contractor access, working hours, deposits, insurance, testing, snagging and acceptance.
Create a responsibility matrix and programme that connects handover, fit-out, IT, statutory approvals and business move dates.
Operations, expansion and exit
Review service levels, after-hours operation, business continuity, signage, access, audit rights, insurance, damage, assignment, subletting, expansion, contraction, reinstatement and handback.
Record all negotiated commitments in the executed documents rather than relying on emails or presentations alone.
