Granted, there is more supply than demand right now, but even in a recession the best space in
the best locations is still in demand. In June 2009, there have been two examples (one in London’s
Fitzrovia, another in Manhattan’s Chelsea) where our clients (despite our recommendations) have
been left very disappointed by losing out on space in a business centre, where another tenant
appeared late on the scene and secured the space. This happened because they delayed a decision
just too long.
So, the moral of this story is that if you see an office that you like, and it’s available at the right price,
secure it quickly because as you can see from the examples above.
But don’t worry, just because you “secure” the office does not mean that you have to pay rent on it
from day one, because you don’t.
Here’s how you do it...

The common mistakes people make when pricing or comparing fully
serviced office space with traditional office space. Discover what the key
differences are and why serviced space is far less expensive as a result.
Mistake No1: Not realising that your quote for conventional office space ONLY pays for RENT.
You will have to pay extra for all other outgoings and costs such as rates, service charges, cleaning,
telephones, IT, security etc
What’s the solution to Mistake No1?
Well, serviced office rents INCLUDE all of the following - rent, rates, service charge, cleaning, use of
telephones and high speed internet access plus much, much more.
Mistake No2: Not considering how costly future financial obligations associated with traditional leasing
in connection with dilapidations, together with full repairing and insuring lease obligations will be. In
our experience these are rarely taken into consideration at the outset.
What’s the solution to Mistake No2?
Well considering that serviced office space removes all problems associated with the second most
common mistake above, you may like to compare which gives you more value, security and peace of
mind. With the serviced office model, it is much easier to predict your financial commitment moving
forward and can plan accordingly.
Mistake No3: Not budgeting correctly for the capital expenditure on set-up costs required to get the
offices into a fully operational condition
What’s the solution to Mistake No3?
Think about renting fully serviced space as an alternative to having to spend your companies hard
earned money on setting up an office in the conventional sense - because with serviced office space
you can move in pretty much immediately and the offices are 100% ready to use with use with state of
the art facilities and no extra expense other than one simple fee for your rent. Everything else is included.
