Why your rental costs are often too high
For many businesses, rental and operating costs are the second largest cost item. Yet they are rarely examined critically. Contracts roll over tacitly, service charges rise and the market changes. In this article you read how to turn that around.
How a quickscan works
A quickscan starts with an analysis of your current lease: the term, the indexation, the service charges and the notice periods. We then benchmark your rent against comparable buildings in the area. Within a few weeks you see whether you pay a market-based price.
Where the savings usually are
- A rent above the market level
- Service charges that no longer match actual use
- Square metres you rent but do not use
- Contract terms that can be improved on renewal
Renegotiating without relocating
Most savings are realised at your current location. A landlord benefits from a long-term, reliable tenant. With a well-founded proposal and the right timing, for example before a renewal date, a lower rent or better terms are often negotiable.
