If you’re keen to upgrade your premises in the new year, Louch Shacklock & Partners can make the process much easier.
The right commercial property, whether it’s an office or industrial warehouse, is key for helping a business grow. There are various signs your current premises aren’t working for you, including:
- Space Constraints. If your team is constantly struggling to work productively, and your storage is never enough, this is a sign there’s not enough space. However, a space can also be too large if you have areas which constantly go unused. You don’t want to be paying for more than you need.
- An Inconvenient Location. Do your staff or clients complain about long commutes? Or does your warehouse often have issues with logistics? You might benefit from moving.
- The Property is in Poor Condition. You need to impress staff and clients, so you don’t want a property which is rundown or even unsafe.
However, finding the perfect property isn’t always an easy process. Louch Shacklock & Partners look to provide exceptional guidance during this process, whether you’re looking for a single industrial unit and multi-million pound development.
Taking the First Step
Before kicking off your search, it’s vital to clearly set out the unique requirements of your business. This lays the foundation for finding a property that ticks all the right boxes, including your operational goals and budget.
For offices, look at the size of your team and the type of layout you’re after (open-plan or private). You should also consider the proximity to clients, public transportation and other amenities.
When you’re looking for an industrial property, you’ll need to be looking at factors like loading bays, ceiling heights and access to major transport routes.
Look Towards the Future
You want a commercial property which will grow alongside your business. Most companies need room for growth and don’t want premises that only suit their present needs. Otherwise you could be limiting expansion plans later on.
Creating a Realistic Budget
You need to consider not only the lease or purchase costs, but also maintenance, utilities and any modifications you might need to make. Our team is always happy to help with this process, with our company having properties that suit a range of budgets.
Other Key Factors Not to Overlook
It goes without saying that the location is vital. While offices benefit from being in a city centre, industrial properties thrive when near transport hubs or regions which have quality infrastructure.
You should also make sure that the property is designed for the intended use. For instance, it must comply with the latest health and safety and environmental regulations. This is particularly vital for industrial properties.
Take your Time Looking at Facilities
For offices, you want attractive meeting rooms, enough parking for staff and visitors, IT infrastructure, and plenty of natural light. For industrial spaces, it must be suitable for your equipment and have first-class security.
