Negotiating on Business Premises

Owners and directors of companies looking for new premises sometimes wonder why they need an agent to act on their behalf. After all, they negotiate frequently in their daily business. There are a number of reasons why professional representation within property is important.

The landlord is represented and so should the tenant be

Firstly, the landlord will almost certainly be represented and while the agent showing you around your potential new premises may appear friendly and helpful, their fee is dependent on achieving the highest possible terms for the property.

Industry knowledge is power in property negotiation

Negotiating the terms is not simply a matter of haggling, but relies on knowledge of rents recently achieved for comparable properties. The negotiation process also covers terms of leases, some of which may appear trivial, but which can cause considerable problems down the line, especially if your business circumstances change unexpectedly.
