Common questions

Is this actually free?

Yes. The audit is free with no obligation. There is no card required and no upsell wall. We offer it as a way to introduce ourselves to NSW landlords, tenants, and advisors who may need a property manager, buyer agent, or sales agent down the line.

How long does it take?

About two minutes from upload to a completed audit. The AI reads the lease, runs the clause checks, and drafts findings. The report opens on screen the moment the analysis finishes.

Does it cover NSW Retail Leases Act compliance?

Yes. If the lease is a retail shop lease, the review applies the statutory checks under the Retail Leases Act 1994 (NSW). This includes the disclosure statement (s.16), prohibited terms, ratchet void status (s.18), land tax recovery void (s.26), outgoings statement deadline (s.28), demolition notice period (s.35), and assignment provisions (ss.39 to 41).

Is my lease confidential?

Yes. We do not share or sell uploaded leases. The PDF is used only to generate your audit and is deleted from storage after 90 days.

What types of leases can I upload?

Office, industrial, warehouse, medical, childcare, mixed-use, and retail leases. Single-tenant and multi-tenant. NSW only.

Is this legal advice?

No. The audit is a commercial intelligence tool. For decisions on contract validity or dispute strategy, take the audit to a qualified property lawyer. The audit is designed to help you identify what to ask them about and to spot money on the table.
