Agree on your office needs: Let’s see together what office you can get!
Finding an office is like shopping for shoes.
Photos are useful, but you have to be here to make sure the merchandise fits you.
After having narrow down some office potential locations that could suit your needs, our Scout Real Estate agent will schedule relevant office visits in accordance with your requirements.
After each office visit, our agent will take note of your open and constructive feedback.
This will be crucial in order to optimize your search. Our Scout Real Estate agent will then be able to focus more on your favourite options and maybe adjust his search accordingly.
This step is decisive! If you may have some additional requirements or any special demand, please share with our agent your full opinion.
It usually takes a week after office space visiting for our agent to get a very clear understanding of your 2 or 3 favourite buildings and he will then be able to focus on finding you the right available space inside those preferred selected buildings.
At this step our agent will also review with you more in depth additional points which might help you to make your ultimate decision.
Indeed, between a small number of office spaces available within your budget, Scout Real Estate advice you to not fail to remember considering:
- Effective rental rate & net usable space (*)
- Your commute home
- Top management kids school location
- Transportation (Subway, bus)
- Convenience: restaurants, convenient stores, etc
- Building management quality
- Is it friendly work atmosphere?
- Are we far from our current or potential clients or not?
- Do we get good internet supply?
- Is there a gym close to work?
* Effective rental rate & net usable space
In order to make your decision on which deal is the best for you, don’t forget to consider the effective rental rate.
Ex: You are renting a RMB100/sqm/month office over 24 months and you've obtained 2 months free rental in an office building with a management fee of RMB25/sqm/month.
Your effective rental rate is then (100rmb/sqm * (22/24)) + 25rmb/sqm = 116.7rmb/sqm/month.
Besides it is necessary to also consider the net usable office space you have delivered. Most of the time usual space will be around 70%.
Meaning that if you actually rent a 100sqm office space, you will only obtain a 70sqm net office space. Adding a 30% on what you are looking for would make you obtain what size you are really looking for.
Find underneath a space planning for better estimation of needed space.
