Finding a new tenant
In New Zealand, marketing a commercial lease is licensed real estate work, according to the Real Estate Authority. So when a unit comes empty, a licensed agent finds the tenant, and we handle everything around it: the brief, access for viewings, the lease paperwork with your lawyer, and the handover. The agent's leasing fee is usually one to two months' gross rent, from AssetPro.
Larger building works, such as a new roof or a fit out, are quoted before anything starts. The building warrant of fitness rules are from building.govt.nz, Managing your BWoF.

What commercial owners ask.
Latus Property charges 7% of the rent we collect, plus GST, with no minimum fee. On a property renting for $40,000 a year that is $2,800 plus GST, or $3,220 including GST. Many commercial managers charge small properties a minimum of about $10,000 to $12,000 a year, whatever the rent. See commercial property management fees.
Under most New Zealand commercial leases the management fee is one of the outgoings, so the tenant pays it back to the owner. Check your own lease: it lists exactly which costs count. See outgoings explained.
A licensed real estate agent does, because marketing a commercial lease is licensed work in New Zealand. We handle everything around it, from the brief to the handover, and keep managing the property once the lease is signed.
