Understanding the cost drivers for commercial space relocations is an important part of maximising value for your business. By conducting
credible market research and identifying
viable and
competitive business locations, you'll ensure that your staff and rental costs are somewhat contained.
The main cost drivers are:
- Choice of location
- Negotiation and structure of lease agreement
- Optimising the space layout
These factors can vary significantly, and credible market information creates competition between commercial property landlords to secure a tenant. For this reason, structuring a lease transaction that meets your business and financial objectives as a tenant can prove vitally important. In today’s market, we are seeing landlords offering increasingly
flexible terms to retain and attract tenants.
In this environment, there's an opportunity for you as a commercial property tenant to take full advantage of market conditions. Securing suitable volumes of office space via
efficient design as well as
construction management can both yield significant cost savings. In order to make well-informed property decisions, we recommend using a competent
property practitioner,
space designer and
construction team. Appointing a team of experienced professionals will help make sure that your commercial premises are complete, fitted and operational when you occupy the commercial space.
