About Michael
30 years in commercial property, now working directly for you.
Michael Ward has managed commercial property in Sydney and on the Gold Coast for 30 years, across office, retail, industrial and medical assets. He started Lease HQ so owners could deal directly with an experienced director, not a junior property manager.
His focus is improving your net return. That means negotiating lease terms that favour the owner, getting rent reviews right, keeping good tenants and finding new ones, and managing refurbishments that add value to the building.
Michael is also a qualified Valuer, so he knows how lease terms and income affect what your property is worth.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much do you charge?
Management fees are usually a percentage of the gross rent collected, and leasing fees are charged when a new lease is signed. Every proposal sets out our fees in writing, with no hidden extras.
Will my tenants notice the change?
Only in a good way. We introduce ourselves, confirm how rent is paid, and they have one direct contact from then on.
How will I know what's happening with my property?
You'll receive monthly statements, an annual end-of-financial-year summary, and a call from Michael whenever a decision is needed.
What software do you use?
We use Re-Leased, a specialist commercial property management platform, for rent, arrears, outgoings and lease dates. It's what larger commercial agencies use, so nothing is kept in spreadsheets.
What size properties do you manage?
Mainly single buildings and small portfolios valued between $1 million and $20 million, across office, retail, industrial and medical property.
Do you manage properties outside the Gold Coast?
We focus on the Gold Coast so we can visit properties and meet tenants in person. If your property is nearby, ask us.
