Make the right property decision before you move

GET EXPERT WORKPLACE ADVICE

Finding or reviewing office space is not just about square footage. It is about understanding how your people work, how your business may change and whether your current or future office can support those needs.

Therefore, our property advice starts with your business. We look at your current workplace, your utilisation, your team structure, your future plans and your wider objectives. Then, we help you make clearer decisions about whether to stay, relocate, expand, consolidate or reconfigure your office.

Understanding Your Current Workplace

Before reviewing new office options, it is important to understand how your current workplace performs. We help assess how your space is being used, where it is under pressure and where it may be underutilised. This can include reviewing desk usage, meeting room demand, collaboration areas, storage, breakout space, employee experience and future team requirements.

As a result, you can make property decisions based on evidence, not assumptions.

Current space review
We review how your existing office supports your people, culture and day-to-day operations.
Utilisation insight
We help identify whether you have too much space, too little space or the wrong type of space.
Future requirements
We consider growth plans, hybrid working, team changes and long-term business objectives.

Stay, Move or Reconfigure?

Not every business needs to relocate. In some cases, the right decision may be to refurbish, reconfigure or reduce the amount of space being used.

Our property advice helps you compare your options clearly. For example, we can help you assess whether your existing office can be adapted, whether a new location would better support your team, or whether a different space model would reduce unnecessary costs.

Option 1: Stay

Your current office may still be the right location. However, it may need redesigning to support new ways of working.

Option 2: Move

A new office may offer better access, stronger amenities, improved sustainability credentials or a better platform for growth.

Option 3: Reconfigure

Sometimes the issue is not the building. Instead, the layout, zoning or workplace strategy may need to change.

Not sure whether to stay or move?

LET’S REVIEW YOUR OPTIONS

Finding the Right Office Space

Once your requirements are clear, we can support the process of finding a suitable office space. This includes looking at location, size, building quality, budget, amenities, sustainability, transport links and future flexibility.

Choosing an office is about more than availability. The right space should support your people, reflect your brand and provide the flexibility your business needs.

We help you define what suitable looks like before you start viewing properties. Therefore, when you enter the market, you can assess each option with greater clarity.

Key Factors We Help You Review

Location and access
We help you consider commute times, public transport, local amenities, client access and talent attraction.
Space requirements
We assess how much space you need now, as well as how your requirements may change.
Building suitability
We review whether the building supports your operational needs, sustainability goals and desired workplace experience.
Budget and long-term costs
We help you look beyond rent and consider fit-out costs, service charges, running costs and future flexibility.
Lease and flexibility
We help you think about how lease terms, break clauses and expansion options may affect your long-term plans.
Employee experience
We consider how the space will support wellbeing, productivity, focus, collaboration and culture. This also aligns with the uploaded office space guidance, which covers location, accessibility, space requirements, wellbeing, budget, hidden costs, culture, sustainability and lease considerations.
