Sale and leaseback in Brisbane & Queensland

What it is

You sell your owner-occupied premises to a long-term owner — us — and we grant you a lease back on agreed terms at the same time. Ownership changes hands; your occupation doesn't. Staff, plant, signage, address: all unchanged.

The capital that was tied up in the property is now yours to put to work — paying down expensive debt, funding growth, or taking risk off the table.

How it works, step by step

1. 1A direct, confidential conversation. You tell us about the property and your business. Nothing is marketed; nothing goes public.
2. 2We assess and make an offer. We look at the building, location and your proposed lease terms, then put a clear, direct offer to you.
3. 3We agree the leaseback terms together. Lease length, reviews and responsibilities are settled up front so you know exactly what tenure and certainty you're getting.
4. 4Settlement. The sale completes, the lease starts the same day, and the capital is released to your business.
5. 5A long-term partnership. We reinvest in the asset over the hold, run fair reviews, and help you into a bigger building if you outgrow this one.

Who it suits

• Owner-occupiers with significant equity tied up in their premises.
• Businesses that want to reinvest at a higher return than property yields.
• Owners planning succession, a buyout, or a recapitalisation.
• Offshore or interstate owners who'd rather hold capital than property — see our note on Queensland foreign land tax.

Why a permanent-hold owner is the right counterparty

A trader buys to sell — which means your tenure is only ever as long as their hold. We buy to keep. That's the whole point: you get the capital out and keep the security of staying put for the long term, with a landlord whose interests are aligned with the building lasting.

Discretion and confidentiality

Sale and leaseback is often sensitive — it can touch on succession, partners, or simply not wanting staff and customers to read anything into it. We deal with you directly and in confidence. There's no campaign, no signboard and no marketing.
