Case studies

What we extract

Every lease is abstracted against the same fields, so your portfolio data lines up across countries.

Parties and premises

Landlord, tenant, guarantors and the demised property

Term and key dates

Commencement, expiry, rent free periods and notice deadlines

Rent and reviews

Base rent, indexation, turnover rent and review mechanisms

Break and renewal options

Who can exercise them, when, and on what conditions

Repair and service charges

Maintenance duties, service charge caps and reinstatement

Assignment and subletting

Consents required and restrictions on alienation

Insurance and indemnities

Cover required, responsibilities and liability limits

Special conditions

Exclusivity, permitted use and any unusual clauses

Abstraction or full translation?

Most portfolios need both. We advise on which leases need which service before work begins.

Lease abstraction

Best when you need specific data for reporting, audit or portfolio decisions. Our linguists read the whole lease in its original language and record only what your template asks for.

Full or certified translation

Best when a lease will be negotiated line by line, relied on in proceedings or filed with an authority. We translate and certify selected leases alongside the abstracts.

A repeatable process, whether you have ten leases or ten thousand.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

What is lease abstraction?

A structured summary of the key terms in a lease, such as dates, rent, options and obligations, taken from the full document and recorded in a standard template.

A translation renders every sentence. An abstract captures only the data points you need, read in the original language and recorded in yours, so large portfolios are processed faster and at a fraction of the cost.

We work across the languages in your portfolio, including European and Asian languages such as Chinese and Japanese.

Yes. We can work to your template, or build one with you for audit, lease accounting or due diligence.

It depends on volume and complexity. For one global fashion brand, thousands of pages of leases were abstracted in days.

Send us a sample lease and tell us what you need to report. We will propose a template and send you a quote.
