How An Agent In Central London Can Help You Search For Office Space

A good commercial property agent will use a variety of services to ease the burden of relocation to a new Office space in London. The agent should make enquiries into the needs of the business and the needs of its staff. In addition, the budget allocated for the process must be given careful consideration, as must the reasons for the relocation; if the reasons are positive, such as company expansion, this will then inform choices about other office space. If negative, such as downsizing, this will also affect certain decisions, particularly budget.

The budget is important as this will dictate the areas in which the agent can research commercial properties on the client's behalf, as well as helping them to draw up a list of suppliers and ancillary services that will be most appropriate to the move. These services may include power and cabling, computer hardware and IT support, telecommunications, security access systems, storage and environmental disposal.

The main saving for a company using a commercial property agent is time; the agent is able to research and preview potential properties selected to meet the requirements of the business in question. The short-list can then be presented to the client, who can choose to view potential premises at their best convenience, without disrupting important meetings or the general efficiency of the company.

Once a property has been agreed upon, the agent can then propose a relocation plan, giving a breakdown of costs, suppliers, ancillary services and, perhaps most critically, a schedule from which to manage the relocation. Dealing with an 'under offer' situation and trying to conduct the daily mechanics of business, can put senior managers under intense pressure as the relocation process gathers speed.

The bottom line is that using a commercial property agent means that the burden of moving offices is shouldered almost entirely by the agent, so you can manage your company as usual without the additional headaches of relocating offices. Many companies considering relocation to or within London are taking advantage of the expertise and 'insider' knowledge that these specialists have to offer, maximising the efficiency and cost-effectivity of finding and moving to new office space.
