Commercial Property

Commercial property advisory and negotiation

Independent representation on inner-Melbourne commercial freehold.

Why us for commercial

The same discipline, applied to commercial freehold

Buying commercial property is a different exercise to buying a home. Yield, tenant covenant, lease terms, zoning and liquidity all matter as much as the building. Get any of them wrong and it shows up in your return.

We act only for you. No selling agents to please, no listings to move, just independent assessment and senior negotiation focused on the numbers and the downside, not the sale.

How we work
What we do, and what we don't

Clear on our lane

We are property advocates, not business brokers. That focus is deliberate, and it protects you.

What we do

  • Source and assess commercial freehold: office, retail, industrial and mixed-use
  • Independent due diligence on value, lease, tenant covenant, zoning and outgoings
  • Negotiate and bid on your behalf, with senior, ex-agent experience
  • Manage the purchase through to settlement
  • Act for investors and owner-occupiers, including buyers acquiring premises to run their own business from

What we don't do

  • Business broking, we do not buy or sell businesses, goodwill or going concerns
  • Leasehold or licence deals tied to a business
  • Commercial leasing or tenant representation
  • Work outside inner Melbourne, our focus keeps our knowledge deep
Who we act for

Two clear briefs, done properly

Investors

Buying for yield, growth and long-term hold. We assess tenant covenant, lease terms, outgoings and resale, so the return holds up beyond the headline yield.

Owner-occupiers

Buying the premises you run your business from. We help you secure the right building at the right price, with the lease and zoning working in your favour.

SMSF buyers

Acquiring commercial freehold through a self-managed fund. We handle the property side of the purchase and work alongside your accountant and adviser.

How we work

A clear process, search to settlement

Senior, hands-on advocacy at every step, so you are represented properly in a market where the numbers are unforgiving.

01

Brief

We define your goals, budget and the returns or use you need the property to deliver.

02

Search & assess

On and off-market freehold across inner Melbourne, assessed honestly against your brief.

03

Due diligence

Lease, tenant covenant, zoning, outgoings and condition, so you know exactly what you are buying.

04

Negotiate or bid

We negotiate or bid for you, with the inside knowledge of former selling agents.

05

To settlement

We manage the detail through to settlement and handover.

What we look at

The things that make or break a commercial buy

Yield vs growth

Whether the return stacks up today and whether the asset can grow, not just the headline number.

Tenant & lease

Covenant strength, lease term and reviews, incentives and the real risk of vacancy.

Zoning & use

What the property can be used for now and later, and how that shapes value and flexibility.

Outgoings

Who pays what, and how outgoings affect your net position over the hold.

Location & liquidity

How tightly held the pocket is, and how easily you could sell or re-let when it matters.

Repositioning

Upside through refurbishment, re-leasing or a change of use, where the numbers support it.

Inner Melbourne, on purpose

Focus is a feature, not a limit

We work inner Melbourne only. It means we know the streets, the agents, the tenants and the true value of commercial stock in these pockets, rather than spreading thin across the state.

For you, that depth is the difference between paying market and paying too much.

Common questions

Do you buy or sell businesses?
No. We are property advocates, not business brokers. We advise on and negotiate the purchase of commercial freehold, the property itself, not businesses, goodwill or going concerns.
What areas do you cover?
Inner Melbourne only. That focus keeps our market knowledge deep, which is exactly what protects you on price and risk.
Do you act for owner-occupiers as well as investors?
Yes. Whether you are buying for a return or buying the premises to run your own business from, we represent you independently through the whole purchase.
Can you help with a purchase through my SMSF?
Yes, we handle the property side of acquiring commercial freehold in a self-managed super fund, working alongside your accountant and financial adviser. We are not licensed to give financial or tax advice.
Do you do commercial leasing or tenant representation?
No. Our focus is the purchase of commercial freehold. We are happy to point you to specialists if leasing is what you need.
How are you paid?
We work on a clear, agreed engagement so our interests are aligned with yours. We will set this out plainly before you commit to anything.
