Whether you’re developing, building, or leasing, having an experienced legal partner is essential for streamlining projects and minimising road bumps.
Buying and selling commercial real estate can be complex.
Retail, industrial and office properties all have unique strategic and tax considerations that need to be approached in the right way.
That’s why our commercial conveyancing solutions are holistic.
Melbourne property lawyers do things like:
Commercial and retail leases are two different concepts – despite both applying to business tenants.
Retail leases are regulated by the Retail Leases Act 2003 (Vic), which stipulates clear standards of behaviour for both landlords and tenants.
Most small businesses are retail tenants, although the Act does exclude certain entities from retail leases, including corporations and body corporates.
Commercial leases apply to any business not covered by the Act.
They’re not governed by a specific act and are less well-regulated as a result.
If you’re entering into a retail or commercial list, having an equitable agreement that protects your business is critical.

Commercial conveyancing in Victoria typically costs about double the conveyancing cost of residential sales and purchases. For standard commercial property acquisitions, expect to pay anywhere from $1,800 to $2,600. For standard sales, conveyancing fees range from around $1,400 to $2,000.
Once you’ve identified commercial real estate for investment or development, most acquisitions follow a similar process.
Victoria has a comprehensive set of residential development standards (ResCode) that cover everything from street setback and site coverage to north-facing windows and boundary walls. These standards aren’t included in a single document, but can instead be found throughout Victorian planning schemes and Building Regulations 2018 (Vic).
You can find a simplified explanation of ResCode here.
