Rent Review Valuations

We undertake rental reviews and also rental determinations for commercial, industrial and retail property. We meet the requirement of specialist retail valuer under the Retail Leasing Act. Also we are listed with the API (Australian Property Institute) as specialist retail valuer. Most leases provide for rent to be reviewed annually. The most common methods are for rent to increase by a fixed percentage, for it to be increased by reference to the Consumer Price Index or for it to be reviewed to market. A market rent review involves a determination of the rent payable by looking at what the rent would likely be if a new tenant was entering into a new lease with the landlord. The lease should contain detailed provisions relating to the matters which can and cannot be considered when determining market rent. Parties should always try and negotiate and come to an agreement as to the new rent before the market review date. In the event the parties cannot agree most leases provide that a valuer who specialises in the type of premises being valued performs a market rent review. Whatever the valuer determines is the new market rent and subject to limited rights the parties may have under the terms of the lease or under general law the valuation is binding on both parties.
