Property leases sit at the heart of operational continuity and financial performance. They house your people, power your operations, and underpin strategic decision‑making. Yet despite their importance, property leases are often the most complex, risky, and administratively burdensome agreements a business manages.
Based on raw, anonymised user data across the LOIS Leasing client base, we've come up with a clear picture of why property lease management matters, and why modern tools are no longer optional: they’re essential.
Every single LOIS client has at least one property lease in their portfolio. That’s 100% of organisations, ranging from family businesses through to large enterprises, managing at least one critical property arrangement.
It’s not just that these leases exist. They dominate portfolios in value and significance.
Although property leases make up only 19% of all leases logged in LOIS, they represent a staggering:
78% of the total value of all assets recorded in LOIS.
That means property leases are fewer in number but exponentially more valuable than any other lease type, and therefore represent the greatest source of financial risk.
If a company gets its property lease accounting wrong, the financial consequences can be enormous. Misstated liabilities, incorrect right‑of‑use asset valuations, compliance issues, and audit challenges are just the beginning. Property leases simply matter too much to leave to spreadsheets, manual processes, or scattered documentation.
Your property lease is likely the most valuable asset on your balance sheet.
With property assets being the most material item on many balance sheets, the risks of mismanagement multiply:
Financial misstatement risk from incorrect calculations or missing adjustments
Operational disruption from missed critical dates or renewal options
Commercial value leakage through overlooked opportunities or unfavourable terms
When a significant proportion of your leased asset value is tied up in property, even a small oversight can become a major issue.
LOIS is designed specifically to cut through the complexity and risk by providing organisations with:
Centralised visibility of all property leases in one system
Automated calculations to ensure accuracy for IFRS 16 compliance
Configurable reminders for key events, renewals, and escalations
Audit‑ready reporting that reduces time, stress, and uncertainty
Powerful analytics to empower strategic decision‑making
Automated workflows that mean property teams manage events while finance teams ensure compliance and reporting integrity
Instead of wrestling data out of spreadsheets or hunting through old PDFs, LOIS gives property, finance, and compliance teams a single source of truth that's reliable, transparent, and always up to date. Key features of the property module within LOIS Leasing include:
Property teams being able to add leases directly into the platform, independent of finance
A built-in workflow process so finance teams can review and add financial details after leases have been uploaded
Easy-to-understand timeline view of lease events
Multiple dashboards, maps, and easy-to-understand lease portfolio value overviews, all in real-time and with forecasts
Our data shows that property leases are universally present, disproportionately valuable, and inherently risky. Companies choose LOIS because it turns that risk into clarity and control.
Whether your portfolio contains one lease or a thousand, LOIS helps you:
Streamline operations
Strengthen governance
Enhance accuracy
Reduce manual effort
Protect the financial integrity of your balance sheet
In short: LOIS helps you get property lease management right, because getting it wrong isn’t an option.
