When companies begin estimating costs associated with a new rental office, it is easy to overlook additional office lease costs. While monthly rent will indeed be the largest expenditure, it is important to consider not only the monthly rent but also additional costs such as utilities, maintenance fees, and parking fees.

Before meeting your real estate agent on-site, it’s beneficial to address crucial questions regarding your new office locations, parking needs, office accessibility, required permits, and neighboring businesses. Once at the location, ensure convenient access for clients and employees, assess the cleanliness of the surroundings, and check for nearby amenities. Evaluate the office space itself, considering aspects such as floor plan suitability, lighting, necessary improvements, available furniture, potential issues like mold or noise, and facilities like toilets and kitchen areas.

If the initial viewing is promising and meets your requirements, inquire about additional costs, internet providers, parking options, lease terms, and the history of the office space. If satisfied, pass your offer through your agent, ensuring negotiations align with your needs, and finalise an agreement through drafted contract.

Often our clients experience changes in their business that affect their current office space. Some companies have decided to proceed working remotely and instead of maintaining large office spaces, they now prefer smaller and easier to maintain offices. Other companies, on the other hand, are experiencing an unexpected increase in their workforce and are considering expanding their headquarters. In both cases, the question of whether or how to terminate your office lease becomes crucial and determines the next steps in your search for new premises. Terminating a commercial lease is not as simple as just walking away and handing the keys back to the landlord.

Main steps to consider: 
1. Carefully read and understand your current rent agreement. 
2. Understand the termination clause in your agreement.
3. Meet your landlord and discuss the options.
4. Consider a replacement tenant.
5. Consider subletting rather terminating the lease.

Planning the right office size is a crucial decision for any business, impacting not just your budget but also your team’s productivity and overall company image. If you’re unsure about the size of the office space you need we built an easy to use Office Space Size Calculator. 

Some key considerations from Office Market to help you make an informed decision:

1. Evaluate Your Team Size and Growth Plans
Since office move is time consuming and expensive task it is important to evaluate not only the current team size but your company’s growth plan for the term you feel comfortable to commit. If you plan to hire more staff soon, factor this into your calculations to avoid outgrowing your space too quickly.
2. Understand Your Office Layout Preferences
Open Plan vs. Private Offices: Open-plan offices typically require less space per person than private offices but may need additional areas for meeting rooms and common areas.
3. Assess Your Budget
Cost per Square Meter: The cost of office space can vary significantly depending on the location, Malta is a small island, consider the neighboring, potentially cost friendly areas. 
Additional Costs: Factor in other costs such as utilities, maintenance, and any modifications or renovations needed to make the space suitable for your business.
4. Seek Professional Advice
An experienced commercial real estate agent can provide valuable insights on the office layout, average price per sqm according to your requirements, negotiate better price and other terms and help you find a space that meets your requirements.
5. Study the Floor Plan
Once you have a potential space in mind, request for the floor plan. Ask your real estate agent/designer/architect to advice you whether your desired layout and furniture will fit comfortably.
