Latest Thinking on Occupying Commercial Property

A briefing for property occupiers that don't own the building

Risk, reward, flexibility and cost - making your property solutions fit for purpose

The problem is this: to operate most efficiently you need property that suits your business - that requires cash, money put into a building that you may not own. And you need flexibility; you may want more or less space next year or the year after - you may want to move. To compete effectively in your market you definitely don't want to pay more for the buildings you occupy than you have to and you definitely don't want more liabilities on your Balance Sheet than necessary, especially if accounting regulations may treat future commitments as liabilities. Sometimes you may wonder if, with finance so widely available, it might just be better to own the building - perhaps ownership might provide more flexibility. But that doesn't seem to be the general view or the general case. So the challenge, in a world where you can't have everything you want, is to get the best you can to suit your business needs.

This is what this briefing is about.

This briefing presents the latest thinking about what is possible and where it is possible AND WHAT COMMERCIAL OCCUPIERS OF BUILDINGS SHOULD BE CONSIDERING AND DOING.

For all corporate property managers, public sector property managers, corporate property advisers, landlord and tenant specialists, surveyors, agents, lawyers, landlords and their consultants.

Full documentation will be made available to all delegates and adequate time set aside for questions and discussion.
