Leasing Advisory
Whether you are setting a rent, negotiating a renewal, resolving a rent dispute or testing occupancy cost, leasing decisions are stronger when they rest on independent rental evidence. Western VAS advises landlords, tenants, owners’ associations and funds across the full leasing lifecycle. Our advice is grounded in market-rent valuation, so every recommendation — at the negotiating table, in a dispute, or in a set of accounts — is supported by evidence rather than assertion. We provide rent valuation for negotiation, for disputes and for audit and reporting purposes, alongside wider letting and lease-strategy advice.
- Market Rent Valuation — independent rental assessment for negotiation, review and reporting
- Rent Review & Renewal Advisory — evidence and strategy for reviews, renewals and re-gears
- Rent Disputes & Determinations — an impartial rent opinion for disputes and, where required, expert determination
- Rent for Audit & Reporting — rental evidence for financial reporting and related-party or transfer-pricing support
- Lease Negotiation Support — terms, incentives and occupancy-cost benchmarking for landlords or occupiers
- Letting & Disposal Strategy — positioning, pricing and tenant-mix advice
- Lease Restructuring & Surrender — valuing the terms when restructuring, assigning or surrendering a lease
- Negotiation — go to the table with independent rental evidence
- Disputes — an impartial rent opinion to resolve or to litigate
- Audit & reporting — defensible rental figures for the auditor and the accounts
- Strategy — letting, pricing and tenant-mix decisions on firm evidence
We begin from independent market-rent evidence — comparable lettings, incentives and lease terms — assessed under RICS standards, then apply it to the specific question, whether that is a rent to agree, a rent under dispute, or a rent to report.
For negotiations and reviews, we equip landlords or occupiers with the evidence and strategy to argue position and terms. For disputes, we provide an impartial determination that can support settlement or proceedings — and, where a matter is litigated, this connects to our Dubai Courts expert-witness capability. For audit and reporting, we deliver rental figures documented to withstand auditor scrutiny.
Because our leasing advice and our valuation practice sit in the same house, clients get a single, consistent view of rental value across negotiation, dispute and reporting — not three conflicting opinions.
- 1 · Share your requirement — tell us about the asset and the purpose of valuation; we confirm the scope and basis of value.
- 2 · Inspection & analysis — our RICS-qualified valuers inspect the asset and review current market and operating data.
- 3 · Independent report — you receive a clear, RICS-compliant report, typically within 3–5 working days of inspection.
