FAQs
What is a make-good clause?+
A make-good clause in a commercial lease requires you to restore the premises to its base-build (or original) condition at the end of the lease. Failure to comply can mean lost bond and rent damages.
Can you negotiate the make-good schedule?+
We work with several specialist make-good consultants who can review and challenge unreasonable schedules on your behalf.
How long does a defit take?+
A small office defit takes 3–5 days. Larger tenancies and restaurants run 1–3 weeks depending on services and finishes.
