Determining fair market rent is critical during commercial lease renewals, rent review clauses, and tenant-landlord negotiations. Setting rent too high risks costly vacancies, while setting it too low leaves significant rental yield on the table. When parties cannot agree on rent adjustments, relying on informal market opinions can trigger disputes and lease impasses.
At MDA Property Valuers, our Certified Practising Valuers deliver unbiased, evidence-backed market rental assessments for commercial, industrial, retail, and residential assets. With over 25 years of local market data across the Central Coast and Hunter regions, we provide independent determinations that protect financial interests and satisfy statutory requirements under the Retail Leases Act 1994 (NSW).

Face rent is the nominal rent stated in the lease agreement, whereas effective rent accounts for landlord concessions such as rent-free periods, cash incentives, or fitout contributions. Our rental assessments examine effective market rates to establish true commercial value.
If a lease agreement specifies a market rent review and both parties cannot agree, appointing an independent Certified Practicing Valuer provides a binding or highly persuasive market determination based on hard rental evidence, breaking the deadlock.
If an SMSF owns commercial property leased to a related party or business, the ATO strictly requires the lease to be conducted at market rates. A formal rental assessment proves to your SMSF auditor and the ATO that the transaction meets arm’s-length standards.
