- Australia is now attracting more wealthy migrants than anywhere in the world according to Henley Partners (Advisory to the worlds high net wealthiest citizens). In 2023, 5,200 high net worth individuals are expected to move to Australia.

Despite multiple interest rate rises in the last 12 months, we are seeing the property market showing resilience. Sydney has incurred four months of straight growth and Brisbane and Melbourne are both in positive territory as well. Two key drivers are low stock levels and immigration.

Commercial Tenant Representation

Sydney CBD, NSW
Summary
Our global client’s Head Office is located in Sydney CBD . They had a lease expiring in 6 months and requested us to undertake a Stay vs Go analysis. The office market had shifted dramatically during their occupation before, during and post pandemic. In short, the rent they were currently paying was over the odds. We advised that they could potentially relocate to a superior A grade space at a cheaper rate.
We were engaged to undertake negotiations and in parallel, explore and identify credible alternative premises. After some robust negotiations with the landlord, they agreed to reduce their rent (increased their incentive) to what we believed the market rate to be on the basis we committed to a new lease.
Relocating was a very real option for our clients, but at the end of the day our clients were happy to renew their lease and remain at the building.
Key Points
- The overall savings in rent would be substantial, totalling hundreds of thousands of dollars throughout the duration of the new lease agreement. The cumulative impact of these savings is impressive, highlighting the significant value that can be achieved by making a cost-effective leasing decision.
- One of the major advantages of the proposed solution is that it ensures a seamless transition for the client’s business operations without causing any disruptions.

Testimonial:
“Thanks to John and his team I had an excellent experience with both the purchase and sale of an apartment several years ago. So I didn’t hesitate to contact John when we needed a new apartment. John and his team are very experienced, professional and friendly. Again all the hassle of doing the footwork, searching and negotiating was taken away and we are thrilled with our new apartment negotiated pre auction. Sincere thanks to John and the team.” – R Hoare
