Checklist Before Signing a Commercial Lease in Lahore
The Gravity Editorial · 14 February 2025
A practical list of what to verify and agree before you sign a commercial lease—so you start on solid ground.
Signing a commercial lease is a significant step. A short checklist can help you avoid surprises and ensure the terms match what you expect.
Rent, Term & Renewal
Confirm the monthly or annual rent, the lease term, and how renewal works. Note any escalation clauses and notice periods. At The Gravity, we offer clear terms and, for buyers, structured payment plans—so you know what you’re committing to.
What’s Included
Clarify what’s included: utilities, maintenance, common-area charges, and security. Understand who is responsible for repairs and fit-out. Our team will outline what’s covered so there are no grey areas.
Use of Space & Restrictions
Check permitted use (e.g. office, retail, clinic) and any restrictions on signage, alterations, or subletting. Make sure your intended use is allowed and that you’re comfortable with the building’s rules.
Documentation & Handover
Review the lease document carefully. If possible, have a legal or business adviser look at it. Note handover dates, fit-out timelines, and any deposits or advance payments. Keep a copy of the signed lease and related papers.
