Tall commercial towers in a dense city centre

Lease modification assessment

Focused review of rent restructures, concessions still unwinding, and partial terminations under HKFRS 16.

FormatDocument review with written memo
Typical timeline5–10 business days per cluster of contracts
DeliveryRemote with optional meeting in Central
Fee basisPer modification cluster

Purpose

Decide whether a rent change is a modification, a reassessment, or a variable payment — and document why. Useful when landlords have restructured floors, when COVID-era concessions still affect amortisation, or when a fit-out contribution alters the liability.

Included

  • Contract and side-letter reading
  • Accounting treatment memo with alternatives considered
  • Illustrative journals and disclosure wording
  • Briefing call with your finance lead

Next step

Send the modification pack — agreements, side letters, and current liability extracts.
