Every CRE deal touches 6 documents.
Review all of them.
Commercial leases with demolition clauses buried on page 38. Purchase agreements with vendor disclosure gaps. JV structures with no exit mechanism. Kontractually's AI reviews every CRE document against your playbook before you commit.
No credit card required. First 3 reviews free.
What a systematic review catches that a quick read doesn't.
A tenant signs a 7-year lease after a quick read. Three years in, the landlord exercises a demolition clause. The clause was buried on page 38 and gave only 6 months notice. They're forced to vacate mid-lease with no compensation for fitout costs.
Kontractually flags the demolition clause in the initial review. The tenant negotiates 18 months notice and fitout compensation into the deal before signing.
A commercial property buyer executes a purchase agreement without reviewing the vendor disclosure statement. Post-settlement, they discover an encumbrance that affects the development approval they were counting on.
Kontractually checks the purchase agreement against your disclosure review playbook and flags missing or incomplete vendor disclosures before settlement.
A joint venture structure is executed by all parties. Two years later, a dispute arises over exit rights - and the JV agreement has no clear exit mechanism other than by unanimous consent.
Kontractually flags the missing exit mechanism against your JV playbook rule: 'all joint venture agreements must define a deadlock resolution and exit procedure.' The clause is negotiated in before execution.
Every document type a CRE professional reviews.
Pre-built CRE playbook templates cover the documents that create the most risk. Customise to your firm's standard.
Lease terms that run for a decade
Commercial leases define your occupancy costs for 5, 7, or 10 years. Rent review mechanisms, make-good obligations, demolition clauses, and option exercise notice periods all affect the real cost of the tenancy. Kontractually reviews every lease against your playbook and surfaces what matters before you commit.
Contract of sale and disclosure review
Commercial property purchase agreements contain vendor warranties, disclosure obligations, and special conditions that affect settlement risk. Kontractually checks purchase agreements for missing disclosure statements, conditions precedent that haven't been satisfied, and warranty scope that falls short of your standard.
Joint venture and co-ownership agreements
JV agreements for commercial property development carry hidden risks in exit mechanisms, decision-making thresholds, and contribution obligations. Kontractually reviews JV and co-ownership agreements for deadlock provisions, forced sale triggers, and funding obligation mismatches.
Asset and property management
Management agreements for commercial assets define your income stream and liability exposure. Fees that don't reflect market, indemnity obligations that exceed your professional cover, and termination clauses that lock you in - Kontractually flags them all against your standard terms.
Yes. The playbook perspective defines the review focus. A tenant playbook checks rent review mechanisms, make-good scope, demolition clauses, option notice requirements, and outgoings exposure. A landlord playbook checks that make-good obligations are enforceable, tenant guarantees are adequate, and assignment restrictions protect the asset. Switch perspective by switching playbooks.
Yes. Off-the-plan purchase agreements contain additional risk around specification changes, sunset clause terms, and vendor warranties about approved plans. Kontractually reviews these agreements against your playbook and flags deviations from your standard conditions, unusual vendor reservation rights, and missing sunset clause protections.
Yes. JV agreements for commercial development are one of the most complex document types - and one of the most important to get right. Kontractually checks JV agreements for: equity contribution obligations, decision-making thresholds, deadlock and exit mechanisms, profit distribution waterfall, and obligations on sale or transfer. Upload your JV playbook with the rules that matter to your firm.
Batch review lets you upload multiple documents from the same transaction and review them all against the relevant playbooks. For a typical commercial acquisition - purchase agreement, vendor disclosure, due diligence checklist, existing lease, and management agreement - you can run all five simultaneously. Each returns an independent review against the relevant playbook.
You configure jurisdiction-specific rules in your playbook. For example, a rule that retail leases must include a disclosure statement (required under retail tenancy legislation in AU, the UK, and many US states), or that specific conditions precedent are present in a purchase agreement for your jurisdiction. Kontractually applies the rules you define - you can maintain separate playbooks for different markets.
