Renegotiation We pride ourselves on our personalised approach and the person you meet at the first meeting will be the Partner you work alongside throughout the relationship. They will begin by building a clear picture of your organisation and your office space requirements both today and in the future. This will cover everything from your ideal location and learning how your business operates, through to your five-year plan and beyond. Your dedicated Partner will be responsible for steering the process from day one. As part of that remit, they will take the lead in assembling the professional team required throughout the various stages of the transaction. You may wish to work with your own lawyers or architect, for example, or you could ask us to recommend specialist advisors to you. In each case, your Partner will be there to ensure that you have the right information and the right team around you. Before you make any decision on whether to look for new space or renegotiate your existing lease or indeed whether your smartest move is to maintain the status quo it s vital to have a clear idea of all of the options available to you. Time is often critical and we recommend setting the process in motion months prior to the next lease event (such as a lease expiry or break clause). Our team s in-depth experience of the London property market means that we recognise good value and can advise on the best solution for you. After accompanied property inspections and a detailed analysis of all options, you will then be in a position to make a fully informed decision about how to progress.

4 Like every journey, this one starts with a single step If you would like to know more about how we can help, please contact: Michael Baker michael.baker@struttandparker.com struttandparker.com Securing the right solution Moving in Working with you long term During negotiations, our primary focus is to secure the right solution, delivering the most value for you. This goes far beyond simply agreeing a favourable rent. We would seek to secure the best financial and legal terms, to include the best possible incentives such as a rentfree period and/or fit-out contributions. It is also important to ensure that the lease has flexibility to meet future as well as current requirements, such as the ability to break, re-negotiate, sub-let or assign your lease. There can be a lot to think about but we have it all covered. With a decision made and a lease negotiated, your Partner will continue to steer the transaction through to completion, maintaining close links with fit-out consultants and contractors. Working alongside the professional team, they will ensure that all associated documentation is executed within the dedicated time frame so that you can move in smoothly and on schedule. Our involvement does not end when you move into your new space or sign your new lease. Your Partner will remain in regular contact and be on hand to offer advice when needed. You may wish to discuss changes in business rates or the service charge, for example, and the implications that would have on your business. We will also maintain a watching brief on the market and be ready to act when your next lease event, such as a rent review, approaches. By working this way, we have developed many relationships with our clients over the long term, helping them to ensure their property continues to deliver for their business as they grow and diversify.
