2. IF I DON’T NEED THE SPACE IMMEDIATELY SHOULD I DELAY MY SEARCH UNTIL I DO?

Question

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. In the current market many Landlords would prefer to capture a Tenant (assuming the lease terms are acceptable) even if the commencement date is not immediate. For example, it is not uncommon for a Landlord to lock in a lease and rent commencement date 4-6 months beyond when a Tenant is prepared to begin a lease. This timeframe could be longer if the space has been sat vacant for quite some time. Larger space occupiers will find that prospective Landlords are prepared to commit to a lease further in advance than they would for smaller space occupiers. An experienced leasing agent will be able to advise you on this.
