Lease Audit/Analysis Federal Appraisal provides expert lease audit and lease analysis services. Commercial real estate leases are often very complex.  They often include unspecified rent and expenses beyond the base rent.  These include rent escalation clauses, operating expense passthroughs, real estate tax passthroughs, common area charges (CAM), electricity charges, other utilities charges, insurance charges and many others.  These rents and passthrough could have any number of methods of calculation, including a net passthrough, a pro rate share, a specified (non-pro rata) share, and the methods can change from year to year. They can have minimums and maximums and they can be based on changes over a base amount or index.  Even base rent calculations are often complicated, with periodic base rent adjustments such as steps, CPIs, and mark-to-market clauses. Analyzing leases is thus, difficult for the inexperienced.  Since lease payments can equal the market (sales) value of the real estate in as short as seven years, the consequences of not auditing a longer term commercial real estate lease can result in substantial losses.
