We take the stress and uncertainty out of your office move and carry out negotiations with your landlord.

Office acquisition and tenant representation

We can manage the office acquisition process on your behalf. This reduces disruption to your business and allows us to deliver great value.

The stages where we add value include:

• Identifying and agreeing your office requirements
• Advising on appropriate size and grade of office property
• Recommending a lease structure to suit your business needs
• Conducting a search to identify potential options, on and off market
• Agreeing Heads of Terms on your behalf and minimising or limiting liabilities
• Negotiating a rent free period and/or incentive package
• Liaising with solicitors to ensure the lease is reasonable
• Managing the timescale and seeing the transaction through to completion

Agreeing the best terms for your business

The headline financial terms are important in any deal but we will also focus on agreeing a balanced package of terms. The following points are often poorly negotiated and can leave tenants exposed:

• Repairing obligations
• Alienation rights
• Break option conditions
• Liability for landlord fees

By acting on your behalf we can ensure the package of terms is appropriate to the circumstance and represents good value.

We can help you maximise the performance of your office property and generate more income.

We work with a range of clients in the office market, from owner occupiers to funds and public sector organisations, and have a proven track record of delivering results.

Leasehold disposals of office property to minimise exposure and risk

We can help minimise your exposure and mitigate your liability. The strategies relevant to a leasehold disposal are varied and we are experts in providing the solution that’s right for our clients.

Where appropriate, we will mount a focused marketing campaign that delivers results.

Using lease events to your advantage

Whether you are looking to renew or relocate, our expertise and market knowledge will help you find the right office space for your business.

By understanding your lease situation, and where your business is going, we can formulate a strategy to help achieve your business goals, whilst making your office occupation as cost effective as possible.

Lease events such as breaks and expiries provide companies with opportunities to review their office accommodation.  Working with our Building Consultancy and Lease Advisory  teams we advise occupiers on how to exploit these opportunities. Areas that we can directly assist with include:

• Break options
• Lease renewal/regears
• Relocation
• Occupational strategy
