Hiring Professionals: Who you need when Leasing Office Space
Who’s batting your side of the bargain when it comes to looking for office space and getting the best office lease deal?
In today’s economic climate, there’s always the temptation for companies to “go it alone” when looking for a new office and negotiating their office lease in an attempt to save money and reduce the overall costs of their office relocation. But the result of attempting to do this yourself or “on the cheap” often have the opposite effect; with companies ending up in unsuitable office space, and with an office lease which is entirely unsuitable for their financial and business requirements.
Having the right professional team behind you when leasing office space, is your best weapon against overspending, and avoiding any business critical mistakes further down the line.
Here’s who you’ll need:
Property Agent: Find a local Property Agent who specialises in commercial property and one who mainly represents tenants. Why? Because they are familar with the local area and what properties are available, and they’ll be experts in negotiating commercial property leases from the tenant’s perspective so they’ll be able to secure you the best deal.
Property Solicitor: A Property Solicitor’s main role is to ensure that what has been verbally agreed with the Landlord is accurately reflected within the terms of the Commercial Office Lease, as well as making sure your company’s commercial interests are safeguarded throughout the tenancy agreement.
Commercial Office Leases are long and complex documents with confusing legal jargon – it’s really not worth taking the risk by trying to take this on yourself. Make sure you get legal representation when moving office.
