There are several considerations when a company is looking for new premises. The usual factors, such as rental budget, layout, location, and future growth in the number of employees, are of course central to the company’s assessment. If the company already has answers to these questions, what do they actually need Scout Eiendom for?

Resource allocation

It varies how much time and resources the company has internally to manage a relocation project, and especially how many employees the company has. More employees usually mean more opinions and more factors for the company to consider. Finding new offices that fit the budget and requirements can be time-consuming, which is why many choose to go through a broker, such as Scout Eiendom, to ensure the most resource-efficient process possible.

Expectation management

We often find that the expectations companies have regarding new office spaces do not necessarily align with their allocated budget. Many companies have overly optimistic expectations concerning the standard and location, compared to the current market rental rates. This sometimes results in a loss of momentum during the search, as the options they had envisioned do not fit within the budget allocation.

At Scout Eiendom, we are contacted daily by companies looking to discuss their office space needs. A significant part of our job involves adjusting expectations when we realize that what the company is searching for doesn’t actually exist in the market. On the other hand, we often see companies using our office calculator, which provides valuable insight into what is realistic for them. This helps set more accurate expectations from the start of the search, facilitating a smoother and more efficient process.

Market Insight and Expertise

One of the advantages of speaking with us at Scout Eiendom is that we may know of rental properties that are not necessarily listed on the market. As commercial brokers, we are exposed to information and insights in the market that are otherwise unavailable to companies. This means that some businesses that reach out to us can find a match through us that they would not have discovered otherwise.

Although the majority of rental properties are advertised on the market, it can still be challenging for companies to identify the right opportunities. This is often because rental properties are rarely advertised with price levels, or it can be difficult to envision how the spaces could fit with moderate renovations. Companies looking for more flexibility than the traditional five-year lease and those considering a sublease may often miss out on all the available options in the market. At Scout Eiendom, we understand what is possible with both landlords and sublessors, and we can help realize great office alternatives for the company.
