Lease negotiation support for commercial office space in Gurgaon helps tenants secure fair rent and terms that fit their plans. Office leases include many terms beyond rent, and small differences in escalation, lock-in or fit-out support can add up to large sums over the lease term. An experienced negotiator helps you know what is achievable and what to prioritise.

Preparing to negotiate
Know your requirements, budget, timeline and alternatives. Having two or three viable options strengthens your position.
Market comparables
Compare with recent deals in similar buildings. Landlords consider market conditions, the tenant’s profile and lease length.
Total cost modelling
Model rent, escalations, charges, rent-free months and fit-out over the term to compare offers fairly.
Every term has a cost
Ask us to model how each term affects your total cost over the lease.
Term sheet
Agree key terms in a term sheet before the full lease is drafted. This avoids surprises later.
Legal review
Your lawyer should review the full lease, including indemnities, maintenance obligations, reinstatement and dispute resolution. Ensure registration and stamp duty are handled correctly.
Costs to budget for
Budget for advisor fees, legal fees, stamp duty and registration, deposits and fit-out.
Steps in negotiation
- Define priorities and alternatives
- Gather comparables
- Request proposals from landlords
- Model total costs
- Negotiate a term sheet
- Legal review and registration
Common mistakes
- Negotiating rent only
- Not having alternatives
- Signing before agreeing a term sheet
Negotiating renewals
When your lease is up for renewal, you have leverage: moving costs the landlord vacancy and re-letting expenses. Review market rents, prepare alternatives and start talks early. Renewal is also a chance to adjust space, parking and flexibility terms to suit your current needs.
