If your office lease is expiring soon and you're unsure whether to stay or move, consider these points:

• Evaluate if your current space meets your business needs. If not, consider negotiating with your landlord to reduce or increase your space or engage a space planner to reconfigure it. Also, consider adding a staff recreational area to boost morale.
• If relocating, determine the ideal area based on property rentals, nearby amenities like public transport, shops, and restaurants, and other factors that benefit your workforce.
• Partner with property practitioners to find the perfect space that fits your requirements and budget.
• Choose between a fitted-out space and a white box space that requires a full tenant fit-out, weighing the initial cost and long-term productivity benefits.
• Consider renting a white box space and doing a full fit-out to design a more efficient workspace that meets your specific needs.
• Inform your service providers, especially IT services, to ensure a smooth transition.
• Engage with at least three interior designers to help plan your space and design a workspace that reflects the best of your business.
• Plan and manage the relocation with the help of a mover if necessary.

Choosing the right property partner can make the relocation cost-efficient and beneficial to your business and staff well-being. It's essential to take an objective look at the work area and assess whether the space is being used efficiently. Often, company structures, workforce numbers change since you first signed your lease, and you may end up with space that is either not being used efficiently or too little space.
