Put a renewal and a move side by side on the same comparison period. A renewal brief records the proposed term and every written cost item the landlord has confirmed. A relocation brief adds fit-out scope and budget, the overlap period between old and new premises, move coordination and any reinstatement and handover requirements for the outgoing premises. An industrial or high-spec brief adds what the operation requires from the building, including clear height, floor loading, power, ventilation, loading bay access and equipment entry paths.

Knight Frank's Singapore office practice describes relocations, renewals and tenant representation as published service scope. Their industrial and high-spec team describes site selection, property comparison and negotiations for industrial occupiers. These examples describe published advisory scope. Use the Public Register listed on CEA’s e-Services page to verify an agent’s registration or an agency’s licence.

Confirm each item in writing. Send the same brief to each adviser.

  • Premises address, use, size and required access
  • Proposed lease term and commencement
  • Rent, service charge and every cost item named by the landlord
  • Fit-out scope, any reinstatement requirements and who handles each item
  • Overlap period, move coordination and handover date
  • Operating requirements such as floor loading, power, ventilation and equipment access

Choose by what you need

Start with the premises, operating needs and lease decision: renewal, relocation or a new location. Cushman & Wakefield publishes Singapore tenant representation; JLL publishes tenant-leasing support with Singapore project examples. Compare the appointed representative, conflicts, space brief, negotiation and transaction scope, then separate legal review, fit-out and moving work. No adviser can promise a particular landlord decision or rental saving.

Before appointing a provider

  • Which location, size, use, access and operating needs must the premises satisfy?
  • Is the task a renewal, a relocation, a search or negotiation support?
  • Who represents you, and what other parties or property instructions create potential conflicts?
  • Who pays the adviser and when does a fee become due?
  • Which legal review, fit-out, reinstatement and moving services are excluded or separately contracted?
  • What happens if no lease proceeds, and what notice or exclusivity terms apply?
