Get to know your Commercial Property Agent
As a key figure in your office relocation, be sure not to underestimate the role of your commercial property agent
The right commercial property agent can make a huge difference to your office move and will play a vital role in your office relocation process.
Agents know the moving business inside out and will be able to support you and advise your company throughout the office relocation. Their primary job is to track down your new offices and negotiate the best terms on the lease for your business, but they can help with a number of other areas.
Some services that your property agent could offer your company include:
- Organising a lease or the sale and marketing of your workspace.
- Office agency services, including preparation of a brief outlining your new office requirements.
- Conducting searches for your new office property and locating a workplace that suits your specific needs as a company.
- Negotiating market terms for your new property that will be favourable to your business.
- Arranging viewings of potential commercial properties.
- Liaison with legal bodies who can assist your company in finalising the new office move.
- Cost breakdown of your terms and explanation of the fees accrued during the changeover.
- Development consultancy for your office projects thereafter.
- For bigger companies, services such as asset management and ownership strategies could also be important.
Finding a commercial agent that will guide you through these steps is a key part of moving office and a good agent will facilitate an office deal that will be beneficial to your company.
