       understand it.
       FRI – what a Full Repairing and Insuring Lease really means?

       Did you know when you take an FRI (full repairing and insuring) lease on office
       space you are taking on responsibility not just for your office space but also your
       fair share of the “FULL” upkeep and maintenance of the entire building?

     These charges are paid for by the tenants in two ways

      1) By way of additional service charge       This is the nightmare we referred to,

     estimated.                                    In full serviced office space, the operator

 surprisingly easy and can be quite costly in certain cases.

 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.

 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.

FRI – what a Full Repairing and Insuring Lease really means? Did you know when you take an FRI (full repairing and insuring) lease on office space you are taking on responsibility not just for your office space but also your fair share of the “FULL” upkeep and maintenance of the entire building? So on top of your rent bills to the You’ll also pay for roof replacement landlord, rates payments to the local (again despite being on the ground authority and the standard (“ordinary”) floor). service charge bills covering electricity, buildings insurance, cleaning (not of As if that’s not enough your liabilities your office space but just the cleaning do not end on the day that your leave of the building common parts i.e. the office either.

The service charge is an because it can quite literally drain estimated cost that the landlord makes your cash flow – after all you did sign at the start of the year. At the end of the lease which does entitle your the year, the landlord/managing agent landlord to be reimbursed for these totals up all the expenses, then adds extraordinary costs. on a management fee (usually 5% sometimes more) and then sends out So is there a better alternative? additional invoices to the tenants that covers the extraordinary expenditure ie Of course... those costs that are over and above the estimated. In full serviced office space, the operator does not look to recover extraordinary 2) The other way of covering these costs expenses from the tenants. The is by way of a sinking fund. Essentially serviced office operator simply pays it this is a bit like paying a regular amount themselves. This is obviously a major into a savings policy for a rainy day. That benefit to the tenants but it is not way at the end of the year, the funds in something that is widely known about the sinking fund are used to cover these or talked about. expenses (but if there is not enough in it then you will have to pay your fair share to top it up).

FREEPHONE: 0800 327 7347 Email: sales@searchofficespace.com Web: www.searchofficespace.com 3 Never EVER DO THIS - Do you know why you should never calculate your office space requirements in square feet or square metres? Getting this wrong is surprisingly easy and can be quite costly in certain cases. Why? So to accommodate 4 people, you can Because in a serviced office, you only pay for comfortably get into 350/400 square feet, what you use, all the other areas you have to about 35/40 square metres, (to be precise 1 pay rent for in a conventional office, such as square foot = .0929 square metres). corridors, IT rooms, breakout/Internet areas, etc are in essence FREE - but only if you rent a fully So now compare your “rent only” (i.e. exclusive serviced office . of all other outgoings and set up costs) budget of ÂŁ30,000 per annum with, let’s say, That’s right, all these extras are included in for example ÂŁ600 per desk per month (current your rental so why bother paying rent all year average central London ball park pricing) round for a meeting room that for example you fully inclusive of rent, rates, service charge may only use once a week?

I thought so! and not have to pay for it at other times. ÂŁ30,000 pa excluding rates and service charge If only we had a pound for every time a client (conventional space) who called us saying “I am looking for 1000 ÂŁ28,800 pa including rates, service charge and square feet”? When we ask how many people SET-UP COSTS (serviced offices). or desks (workstations) they are looking for, they will often reply 3 or 4. Let’s pause for a moment – side by side, which seems a better deal to you? We’re thinking (wow, that’s a lot of space for 3 people. And we ask what the budget is and they Now let’s examine the comment “plus some say something like ÂŁ30 per square foot. That’s expansion space because we may be recruiting ÂŁ30,000 per annum budgeted for rent only. Now, soon”. It’s amazing how many times I have let’s just think about this for a moment.

 don’t be one of them. Easily reserve your offices in advance – using this But when you find an office you really like, that simple ploy. This point is wonderfully simple to do. suits you perfectly, don’t assume that the office Yes, it’s true; you can sign an agreement now with a is going to wait for you; it won’t - because good delayed move in date. offices at a fair price go fast. It’s similar to when you buy a house or a flat, where you might exchange contracts now, but with a Remember the old property adage
Location, delayed completion. The most common reason to Location, Location? delay completion is because it suits the buyer for a variety of reasons. However the most common It’s important to you because in a recession or a reason, in the office space market, is that doing so boom, the best locations always survive. When allows you to avoid double rent. the business cycle is in boom time and it’s a bull market, demand is so great that tenants start So to clarify, you may be paying rent on an office considering other locations; locations previously now, waiting for the lease to expire or waiting while known as “fringe” are suddenly more in demand. you try to find a tenant to take over your existing They achieve “up and coming” status a bit like lease, which is also known as taking an assignment “emerging” markets. of your lease – and of course you don’t want to pay for your new office while still stuck with the old. This is because the more established prime Or perhaps you don’t have an existing lease, maybe locations are“full up”i.e. no space left or it’s because you are a new start up business, nearly in a position rents have climbed too high (at the height of the to take your first office (how exciting) but not quite market recently in 2007/early 2008, top office ready. rents on the best space in Mayfair, Central London reached ÂŁ120 per square foot, yes ÂŁ120!!) and as a Perhaps you are sorting out your business bank result tenants look elsewhere. However when the account, or recruiting staff (remember you could cycle changes and the bear market kicks in, these consider the existing on-site support staff of the up and coming locations are the first and worst business centre on pay-as- you-go basis), whatever hit. Rents fall quickly and suddenly these locations it is, these things take time. achieve “fringe” status again.
  • 12. FREEPHONE: 0800 327 7347 Email: sales@searchofficespace.com Web: www.searchofficespace.com 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... Most business centre operators will reserve The other question most people ask is how the office for you and allow a period of grace, long will the landlord wait, how long a period whilst you do what you need to do. This is of grace will they give you. Well there is no very common, especially considering current hard and fast rule on this, as you might expect, market conditions; however as the market picks this varies with each operator, depending on up, then landlords will be less willing to be as their circumstances. accommodating. So what does the business centre operator need From our experience we find this is generally from you in order to 100% reserve the office? between 1 to 6 months but can even be longer depending on circumstances. So don’t lose Firstly you need to sign the agreement, and your perfect office just because you think you also pay a deposit, usually one month’s rent. can’t move in immediately. Call us today and However we are aware of at least two operators we will help you reserve the office you want of serviced office centres in London that do not before someone else beats you to it... even if require a deposit at all - not to reserve the office you’re not quite ready to move in. and not even when you move in. Call us now and we will be happy to negotiate this for you. We love to reserve serviced office space in advance for clients because... It’s easy for us to do for you - because of our 16 years track record Clients are not stuck paying two rents while they wait to move We save clients money by locking in low rates for them - before they go up FREEPHONE 0800 327 7347 for live assistance

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.
