Why Invest in a Commercial Lease Make Good Report?

Ending a commercial lease can be stressful, especially when it comes to navigating the often complex and ambiguous “make good” clauses. As a tenant, tenant representative, or leasing agent, ensuring a smooth exit and protecting everyone’s interests is paramount. That’s where a Commercial Lease Make Good Report becomes your greatest asset.

Stay One Step Ahead of Landlord Claims

Landlords often present tenants with detailed—and sometimes excessive—claims for repairs or reinstatement at the end of a lease. But here’s the catch: landlords increasingly do not commission an independent make good report. Instead, it’s common for the property manager to run internal sums based on conventional per-square-metre rates—figures that can vary wildly and often work in the landlord’s favour.

Without a clear, professional assessment of your obligations, you may be forced to respond to inflated demands at the last minute, under pressure and with limited room to negotiate.

Procuring your own Make Good Report puts you back in control. It arms you with independent, expert advice—so you know exactly what’s required, and what’s not—well before your lease ends.

Protect Yourself from Onerous or Unreasonable Costs

Commercial leases can contain “make good” requirements that are open to interpretation. Landlords may seek to maximise their claims, leading to unexpectedly high costs for tenants. A comprehensive Make Good Report provides a documented, unbiased assessment of your actual obligations under the lease, helping to protect you from egregious or inflated claims. This means you’ll only pay for what’s fair and reasonable, not what’s opportunistic.

Proactive Planning Saves Time and Money

Engaging a Make Good Report early ensures you’re not caught off guard, scrambling to organise repairs or negotiate claims with the clock ticking. By identifying your obligations in advance, you have the time to source competitive quotes, schedule works efficiently, and avoid expensive rush jobs or penalties. The modest cost of procuring a report is easily outweighed by the savings and peace of mind it delivers.

Empower Your Negotiations

Armed with a Make Good Report, you can approach end-of-lease discussions with confidence. Having independent, expert documentation puts you in a strong position to challenge any unfair claims and negotiate favourable outcomes, whether you’re representing yourself or your client. This professional approach reinforces your reputation and ensures no one is taken for a ride.
