Are you thinking about your company and looking for suitable options for the office or the company in which you work is gaining new momentum, developing, and now you need to find a more spacious room? There are so many things to consider when renting an office that it seems like a very difficult task. However, if you comprehend all the stages, know the technology of the transaction and attract specialists at the right times, then it will be easy for you to get the right premises.
Instructions
Step 1
Determine what kind of office you need. Reveal the goals and objectives of the premises, location, distance from the center and transport hubs. Calculate the size of the office by the number of employees and clients and the type of premises (for example, open space). Consider whether you need parking, security. Consider whether a space on the upper floors will suit you and whether you will be ready for an office with a pass system.
Step 2
When your request is formed, contact the real estate company. Of course, it will be cheaper for you to contact the owner directly, but real estate agencies employ professionals who do not receive money for their activities in vain. Given the risks and pitfalls in real estate, it will be safer to use the services of specialists. You will receive a quality guarantee and peace of mind for the transaction.
Step 3
Pay attention to rental rates, which depend on the geographical location of the building, the quality of finishing and repair of the premises, the lease term, additional conditions, and the presence of encumbrances. As a rule, tenants rent real estate for a period of three to ten years in order to save themselves the unnecessary hassle of finding clients. But buildings built in the Soviet period can be leased for up to a year, so they can conclude an agreement with you with the possibility of prolongation. An agreement for a period of up to one year is not subject to state registration.
Step 4
Check if there are any restrictions on the use of the space that interests you. A building can be assigned a usage profile for a specific period of time (eg dry cleaning or bakery).
Step 5
Make sure that the premises are free of encumbrances. To do this, request an extract from the Unified State Register of Rights. At the same time, it is important to correctly draw up a request for a document, since a building may have more than one owner.
Step 6
When concluding a lease agreement, check all the necessary documents: purchase and sale agreement, certificate of ownership, privatization agreement, the lessor's right to sublease.
Step 7
Pay attention to any redevelopments that may have occurred in the room. Legalizing self-construction can take you a lot of time.
Step 8
If all points have been taken into account and everything suits you, conclude a protocol of intent with the owner. This preliminary document spells out the basic conditions. Entrust the further work on drafting the contract to competent lawyers, because there are many nuances there too.
