Property Search
When acquiring new property there are numerous issues to consider in addition to finding a property of suitable size in the right location.
A selection of the key points, quite apart from sourcing the perfect building (which may be a challenge depending on market conditions), are set out below:-
- Rent
- Rent free periods / Cash contributions
- VAT
- Lease length / Break Clauses
- Service charges
- Alterations / Fitting-out
- Repairing obligations / Dilapidations
- Rent reviews
- Alienation Rights
- Financial Guarantees
Our acquisition service is therefore not confined to introducing buildings. We start by understanding your needs and the factors which influence them. For example, the commuting patterns of key staff and proximity to clients may influence the preferred location or the need for good internal communications may require all staff to be on a single floor.
Having identified the key considerations and developed an understanding of your needs, we will introduce buildings of the optimum size, location, budget and specification. Thereafter we arrange inspections, advise on short-lists, assist with outside consultants where necessary and negotiate the best possible terms on your behalf.
