Leasing out your commercial property in Townsville can be a great way to generate consistent income—but only if it’s presented and managed correctly. At iMCommercial, we help landlords create attractive, compliant spaces that tenants want to occupy. Here's a practical checklist to prepare your property for market.

  1. Understand Your Target Tenant Are you hoping to attract a retail tenant, medical operator, or light industrial user? Clarifying your ideal tenant helps tailor the presentation and marketing of the space, ensuring you speak directly to the needs of your audience.
  2. Ensure the Property is Clean, Safe, and Presentable First impressions count. Ensure:
  • The exterior is tidy, freshly painted if needed, and signage is clean
  • Interior spaces are free from damage, with working lighting and air-conditioning
  • Entryways, windows, and flooring are clean and in good condition
  • All safety requirements (fire extinguishers, emergency exits, smoke alarms) are up to code
  1. Review Compliance and Documentation Ensure you have the following ready:
  • Lease plan or floorplan
  • Building compliance certificates
  • Asbestos register (if required)
  • Maintenance logs for key equipment Being well-prepared shows professionalism and builds trust with potential tenants.
  1. Decide on Lease Terms and Incentives Consider what kind of lease you're offering: length, rental price, outgoings, and any incentives (like rent-free periods or fit-out contributions). Being clear on your expectations upfront makes negotiations smoother and faster.
  2. Engage a Commercial Agent A specialised commercial agent like Eliza at iMCommercial can:
  • Recommend improvements to boost tenant appeal
  • Accurately price your property for the current market
  • Market it strategically to attract the right tenants
  • Manage inspections and handle negotiations
  1. Be Ready to Act Well-prepared landlords secure tenants faster. Once you’ve listed the space, be responsive to inquiries, flexible with inspection times, and open to discussions that benefit both parties.
