A commercial lease is one of the biggest financial commitments your business will make. It deserves more than a quick read and a signature.
I'm Nicole-Olga Pulpea, a Chartered Commercial Property Surveyor (MRICS). I spent a decade working on the landlord and developer side — structuring leases, negotiating terms, managing portfolios of over 750,000 sqm across Romania and CEE.
Now I work exclusively for tenants. I read your draft lease, explain what it actually means, identify where the risk sits, and tell you where there's room to negotiate — before you sign anything.
Commercial leases are complex by design. Tenants who understand what they're signing get better outcomes. That's what ClarePoint is for.
How I can help
Full Commercial Lease Review
You have a draft lease and you want to know what you're actually committing to. I review it clause by clause and give you a written report in plain language — what the terms mean, what they'll cost you over the full term, and where there's room to push back. You go into signing with a clear picture, not a guess.
Clause explanation
You don't need a full review — there's a specific clause that doesn't sit right, or that your lawyer flagged without fully explaining the commercial implications. I give you a plain-language breakdown of exactly what it means, what it will cost, and what a reasonable alternative position looks like.
Lease Negotiation Support
You know the lease isn't perfect, but you're not sure how hard to push or what's realistic for a deal your size. I help you build a practical negotiation strategy — what's standard in the market, what leverage you have, and how to make your case without creating unnecessary friction.
Pre-Signing Advisory
You're close to signing and you want one final check before you commit. We go through the lease together, I flag what matters most, and you leave knowing exactly what you're agreeing to.
You're in the right place if...
You're signing or renewing a commercial lease and you want to understand it properly before you do
Your lawyer has covered the legal side, but no one has looked at the commercial terms — rent structure, indexation, service charges, break conditions
You want to know what's negotiable and what's realistic given the size of your deal, before you sit down with the landlord
You're not a property professional, but you want to approach this with the same quality of information one would have
About me

I spent a decade on the landlord and developer side — structuring leases, negotiating terms, managing portfolios of over 750,000 sqm across Romania and CEE. I know how these deals are built, what landlords optimise for, and where flexibility exists that most tenants never think to ask for.
Now I work exclusively for tenants. I read your draft lease, explain what it actually means, identify where the real cost and risk sit, and tell you where there's room to negotiate — before you sign anything.
