Turnkey lease
Explore how we can help businesses with their commercial lease requirements.
Contact our teamA turnkey lease offers a convenient solution for tenants looking for a space that is fully prepared and ready for immediate use.
In this type of lease, the landlord handles all necessary modifications or construction, delivering a space where the tenant can immediately start operations. This arrangement simplifies the process for tenants and ensures the space meets their business needs from day one.
At Moore Barlow, we provide the legal expertise to make sure both landlords and tenants fully understand the specifics of a turnkey lease. Our guidance ensures the agreement is clear, practical, and aligned with the interests of all involved.
What is a turnkey lease and how does it work?
A turnkey lease involves the landlord delivering a completely finished, ready-to-use space to the tenant. This can include renovations, installations, and any other necessary work to ensure the property meets the tenant’s operational requirements. Once the tenant moves in, the space is ready for immediate business use without further modifications.
This lease structure is attractive for tenants who want to avoid the hassle of managing renovations and for landlords who want control over the fit-out process. It ensures the property is up to the required standard and meets the agreed specifications before the tenant takes occupancy.
