Leasing office space seems straightforward until a detail that wasn’t checked upfront becomes an expensive problem. Here are five mistakes worth avoiding:
1. Skipping the landlord verification. Confirm the person offering the lease is the actual owner or an authorized agent before paying anything.
2. Relying on verbal agreements. Get every term, rent, renewal, repair responsibilities, in writing.
3. Ignoring service charges. Ask what the service charge covers and how often it changes.
4. Not checking building infrastructure. Lift access, parking, and toilet facilities affect daily operations more than most tenants expect until they’re missing.
5. Choosing location over practicality. A central address means little if access roads are poor or parking is scarce.
A few careful checks upfront save far more time and money than resolving a dispute after signing.
