STEP 1: TELL US WHAT YOU WANT...

Where would you like your office to be?

Things to consider, when inspecting office space in London:

• Do you like it?
• You may like it, but will it suit your company’s image?
• Will your staff like it?
• Can your staff get to it easily?
• Is there a commissionaire and if so, is she or he up to the standard you need?
• Is the entrance, reception and the external proximity to the point of entry acceptable?
• Do you have higher security requirements than the average company?
• Does the building have adequate security?
• If your staff work late, is the route to the transport used as relatively safe as you would like?
• Is there a video entry phone, and does it work?
• Lifts; are there enough and are they big enough?
• Natural light; is there enough to meet your desires?
• What is the general condition? Is this acceptable, or can you see how you can bring it up to your preferred standard?
• The shape; does the shape suit the way your company works whether that be individuals, teams or a combination?
• Is it centrally heated, does it have comfort cooling or has it got full air conditioning?
• Again, is it good enough to provide the work environment you need?
• Is there a view? Not always important to all, but many like to have a view from say their boardroom or breakout area.
• Is it a raised floor, has it got underfloor trunking, or has it got perimeter trunking? Again, does it have the facility you need?
• Who else is already in the building? Does this present a problem? Could they be the sort of company who would persuade your staff away?
