I provide commercial advice with regard to retail property leases, leasing, rent, and lease disputes.

A lease or package of leases is an “intangible asset” (or liability). A lease or leases can add additional “value” to a company’s balance sheet under AASB 138. Alternatively it can decrease the intangible asset value.

Depending on the quality of income streams, security of tenure etc., leases can (significantly) add or detract from the value of a business, a property investment, a prospective investment for all stakeholders including financiers.

Too little emphasis has been placed, or is placed on, the quality of income streams here and overseas. A valuation can be 100% + out if the quality of a rental income stream has not been assessed, quantified, and calculated into the “value” per se.
