Maximising Value
Structured Commercial Property Sales
Commercial property transactions demand strict contractual accuracy and financial precision, particularly where lease agreements, GST and going concern provisions are involved. At Kellie O’Malley Conveyancing, based in Wyee Point, we assist business owners and investors across the Central Coast, Mid North Coast and throughout New South Wales with compliant, strategically managed commercial property sales.
Preparing a legally sound contract of sale is the foundation of a successful transaction, particularly when the property is tenanted or forms part of a larger investment portfolio.
We prepare contracts that incorporate required disclosure documentation, confirm zoning and planning compliance and accurately reflect lease arrangements where applicable. Existing tenancy agreements are reviewed to ensure rental terms, option periods and outgoings are clearly disclosed. GST treatment is assessed and correctly structured within the contract, including going concern provisions where relevant. Throughout the sale process, key milestones such as exchange, finance conditions and settlement deadlines are carefully monitored to protect the seller’s position.
If you are planning a commercial property sale and require precise legal oversight, call 0432 328 170 to discuss your transaction.
Risk Control
Protecting Financial Outcomes
Commercial property sales involve more than transferring title. We carefully calculate financial adjustments, review lease obligations and coordinate mortgage discharge requirements to ensure settlement proceeds without dispute. If the property is leased, we apportion rent and outgoings accurately so income is correctly allocated up to the settlement date. We liaise directly with lenders to confirm payout figures and ensure registered securities are released in accordance with statutory requirements.
Where multiple tenancies exist, we ensure rental schedules and security bond details are disclosed accurately to maintain transparency. We oversee compliance with NSW legislation and manage electronic settlement procedures to reduce the risk of delay or rejection.
Through disciplined documentation practices and strict deadline management, we protect the seller’s financial interests and ensure all contractual obligations are properly fulfilled at settlement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are required to sell commercial property in NSW?
To sell commercial property in NSW, a contract of sale must be prepared before the property is marketed. This includes a current title search, zoning certificate and relevant planning documentation. If the property is tenanted, copies of existing lease agreements and disclosure statements are typically included. GST provisions and going concern clauses may also need to be incorporated depending on the transaction structure.
Do you pay GST when selling commercial property?
GST may apply when selling commercial property, depending on whether the seller is registered for GST and whether the sale qualifies as a going concern. If the property is sold with an existing lease and certain legislative requirements are met, GST may not be payable at settlement. The specific treatment should be confirmed prior to exchange to ensure the contract reflects the correct financial arrangement.
What happens to tenants when a commercial property is sold?
When a tenanted commercial property is sold, existing lease agreements generally remain in place. The purchaser assumes the role of landlord under the existing lease terms, provided those leases are valid and disclosed. Rent and outgoings are adjusted at settlement so that income is apportioned correctly between the seller and buyer. Accurate documentation ensures continuity for tenants and clarity for all parties involved.
