Welcome to
Wilson Commercial

At Wilson Commercial we are experts at matching
the right tenant with the right property.

Our end-to-end property management service spans properties of all shapes and sizes across a wide range of industries.

We are committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients and offering the personalised attention that builds lifelong relationships. Each property entrusted to our care is treated as if it were our own.

We put our clients and our people at the forefront in the world of real estate, and we know how to get things done. We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we created tailored real estate solutions seeking to do things differently; to do things better. We are a team of hardworking, passionate professionals with the drive to stay agile, decisive and ahead of the curve.

Specialising in commercial and retail leasing, property management and sales, we pride ourselves on our personal service. There is no issue too big or too small. Our asset managers are the best in the business, and we strive to do the greatest job for our clients by working hard and maintaining open communication. We love what we do. We know Melbourne inside out and understand the importance of selecting the right tenants. We truly believe in ensuring our vendors and tenants are cared for.

After all, that's the Wilson Commercial way.

Real estate is about communication. From both a client's and our point of view, it's that simple.

It takes the right kind of marketing to attract the best tenants.
We do this by creating a tailored and bespoke marketing campaign targeting the right people and maximising the number of applications for your property.

Wilson Commercial has developed a proven marketing strategy, combining maximum coverage with precise targeting based on the unique attributes of your property. We create cost-effective, personalised marketing campaigns that put your property in the spotlight.

Our toolkit includes high-visibility, commercial property websites; social media marketing via Facebook and Instagram; custom marketing boards and shopfront windows; print media, particularly local newspapers; and our extensive email database of prospective tenants.

Our commercial website, wilsonagents.com.au is strategically designed so clients can easily and quickly search for a property – be it on desktop, tablet or mobile. Our properties are rendered in beautiful, high-quality imagery and enhanced with additional features such as a location map and floorplan.

We choose the right people

We work diligently to select the right tenant for your asset.

Prospective tenants are required to submit written offers for lease. We take the time to review each application and perform a thorough screening test including credit checks, references and other credentials. Once a tenancy proposal has been agreed, your preferred solicitor is notified to prepare all relevant documentation including Lease and Disclosure Statements, which are required under the Retail Leases Act.

We are here for you every step of the way

The key thing we offer our clients is an intricate knowledge of property portfolio investment building.

Service you can count on

At Wilson Commercial our customer service is second to none. Our team of trained, passionate professionals provide a comprehensive service covering all types of commercial property.

Flawless payment systems

Rent collection is seamless as tenants are given a choice of payment methods, including electronic, cheque, bank cheque or money order. Rental income is then deposited straight into your nominated bank account.

Communication is key

Your dedicated asset manager will be on hand to provide regular communication. Anything you need is just an email or phone call away. Our asset managers are supported by our management, accounts, leasing and administrative staff, meaning they are free to actually manage your investment.

Past due payments

If rent payments are overdue, we'll chase it up with regular reminders. We seek to resolve any issues in the early stages to reduce cost and inconvenience to tenants and our clients. The majority of disputes can be mitigated by our professional asset managers, who have the experience and know-how to deal with any issues.

Detailed inspections and reviews

We provide routine inspections to ensure the property is being looked after and assess any maintenance required. Rental reviews take place in accordance with provisions of the lease – whether it is a fixed percentage, CPI or market rent review.

Security in the bank

We require a security deposit of 3.3 months' rent at a minimum. In accordance with the Retail Leases Act, this is held in an interest-bearing account in the joint names of the agent and Lessee, for the duration of the tenancy. The Lessee is entitled to any interest accrued on these funds.

Wilson Commercial have made everything so much easier for me - even organising maintenance has been a breeze.

It's all in the details

Maintenance

Our black book of local tradespeople will respond quickly and professionally to any maintenance issues that arise. All repairs that are carried out on your behalf are paid for by the rental income held in trust and detailed in your monthly statements. We recommend our clients give us authority to attend to repairs up to $2,000 + GST so that we can deal with emergency repairs without delay.

Insurance

Now more than ever it is essential your major asset is adequately insured. You will need to consider building and contents insurance, public liability cover and protection from loss of rent. In the case of most nett leases, the tenant bears the cost of the building insurance, however we require all our tenants to have adequate business, contents and public liability cover of their own. We have a number of insurance brokers who can offer appropriate cover to our clients and ensure you have peace of mind.

Essential services

Essential services must be regularly maintained to meet Victorian building regulations. An Annual Essential Safety Measure Report must be completed, and local council actively inspect buildings issuing on-the-spot fines for non-compliance. Our team of service contractors are available for this purpose.

Funds

Our dedicated Trust Account Manager ensures funds are handled promptly and efficiently. As soon as rental funds are cleared each month, the funds are released to you. We prepare a detailed monthly rental statement for your property, ensuring all legislative requirements relating to the handling of trust money are met. We are able to make payments on your behalf from income collected for outgoings such as council rates, water rates, building insurances, body corporate fees and repairs.
