What are my options when my business premises lease expires?

Hopefully, you’ve landed on this page because you are wondering what to do next?

With your business premises lease expiry or break nearing you’ll likely need to decide whether an office move, a refurbishment or a simple reorganisation makes the best sense?

Sit back, relax and grab a cuppa, we’ve got this covered.

Understanding your Objectives!

What we find is that with lease breaks and expiries, businesses tend to use these milestones to re-assess their working environment to understand if their current space is sufficient for the future. – It’s also a great opportunity to look at other office design/refurbishment drivers…

Other driving factors for an office refurbishment or move include: (but not limited to)

  • Expansion, contraction, merger or acquisition.
  • Business requirement to reduce overheads and increase profitability
  • Business re-organisation, change in working practices
  • New corporate branding & style
  • Improving company culture
  • Modernising & Future Proofing
  • Diversification

A good place to start

Helping clients maximise the return on any investments they make is our passion, by creating an environment that is future-proofed, nurtures employee well-being, stimulates creativity and attracts new talent. To get the ball rolling let’s start with what you’ve got in place already.

Space occupancy study and audit

You may be surprised what space you could save once you find what’s lurking at the back of your cupboards. Storage can have a huge impact on space saving, and more often than not can be reduced with better storage solutions in place.

Whether you stay or leave get your staff onboard, the more the team is on board the better the ideas and the better the outcomes. Involving employees not only continues to make the team feel valued – but will assist in your space study and audit for understanding the needs, wants, dislikes etc which can all be processed into a design brief for creating a new improved working environment. –  Check out ‘What is Activity Based Working’ Could this be a style your teams adopt?

One size doesn’t fit all. Space-planning and design is probably the most exciting part of any office move – remember, what works for one company may not work for another.

So, If building regulations, landlord dilapidations or workplace re-organisations aren’t your expertise – let us assist you. We deal with all those things daily, they are part of what we do best.
