Own vs. Lease

Strategic approach

Based on your specific situation, our team offers you tailor-made advice and a property strategy that meets your specific needs as an office occupier. Together, we will draw up an assessment of your current situation, including:

• analysis of your current office lease agreement and contractual obligations;
• assessment of whether the size of your office space matches its actual occupancy;
• analysis of your employees' commuting times;
• compliance of the building with your ESG and corporate sustainability obligations, as well as with your ESG reporting requirements.

Our local expertise, combined with our global approach and advanced technological tools, including the Commute app, enable you to achieve the best possible scenario, be it a renegotiation of your current office lease agreement or a relocation of your offices to another building in Belgium.

Renegociation of lease agreement 

Would you like to keep your current offices but want to review the terms of your office lease agreement? Our expert team will review your current lease agreement, by analysing its key elements in detail. Couldn't the current office space be optimised? Is it possible to extend the lease agreement to a larger area within the building? Are the terms of the lease still in line with market reality? We will represent your interests during the negotiation process with the office landlord.

Office relocation

There are many reasons for moving your current offices to another building: greater accessibility, better tax benefits or energy performance that is more in line with your ESG and sustainability objectives. Whatever the reasons, our team will support you in your strategic move, leaving nothing to chance:

• we analyse the available office stock on the market and compare potential options;
• we assess the impact of a move in terms of costs (capex, taxes, fit-out, rent, etc.);
• we produce feasibility studies, including a site plan drawn up by our Advisory Project Management team;
• we negotiate the office lease agreement on your behalf with the landlord, making sure your interests are well represented;
• we can also take care of the design and build project of your new offices, as well as your actual move.
