Before you think about moving your business to another rented premises, or if you are thinking about moving a business that you started at home, which has now grown to the point that you need to rent office space, it is important to think about your business needs. You need to prioritise your needs and be clear about what you are looking for before you even begin the search for the right office to rent. Being clear and setting objectives will make the hunt easier and also shorter as there will be plenty of offices to rent you just need to make sure that you get the right one.

Is the building in a suitable location to meet your business needs? Are you a retail business who serves customers on a daily basis? Does the building you’re interested in have ample parking? Is it easy to give directions, or better yet, is it located on or near a major thoroughfare? Is it in an area with thriving commerce?

Perhaps you are a company which receives a number of daily deliveries. Can large trucks easily navigate the property and the surrounding streets? Is there ample space for unloading packages? Does the building contain adequate storage facilities?

Does the building present a suitable scenario in which to meet your employees needs? Consider this, if you are a company with a number of employees who are required to be at your location each day, chances are these employees have structured their lives around the area where their job is located. Sure, many employees do not mind a long commute, but most workers get very comfortable with the amount of time it takes them to arrive and depart work each day.

Does a new location provide a convenient commute? Additionally, will it meet the needs of your employees while they are functioning in day to day activities? Does the proposed building suit the employee related tasks of your company? If your company regularly entertains a number of clients, is there a large area suitable for a conference space?

It is important to look at your business plan and forecast. It would be a mistake to rent somewhere that is going to be suitable for your business for 6 months you need to look to the future and rent somewhere that will be right if you expecting your company to grow significantly. You could look and see if there are other areas of the building that you could extend in to if this was the case.

As we have all seen in recent months, the price of houses in the current UK property market have been in decline. In fact, in the last few months we have seen the price of UK homes falling quite substantially and in January 2009 the value of properties fell by a further 1.3%.Which now makes the total decline percentage at 16.6%.

As you will soon discover when you search online, there is much being written about the economic crisis that we are all currently facing. It is thought that the housing market in the UK will drop even further and sales of properties are not likely to increase for some time yet.

In fact, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in the UK are predicting that in 2009 we will see a further 10% decrease in the number of homes being sold. They are currently reporting that less than one home is being sold each week, which is the worst condition the housing market has faced in the last 30 years.

Although house prices will begin to rise again in the year 2011 a further 10% decrease is expected this year, therefore people will have to recognize that the price of their house is currently much less than it was not so many years ago.

As the current UK housing market has been weakened somewhat there are good deals available to first time buyers and people looking to invest in property alike. Many houses are being repossessed and resold at a cheaper rate. It is therefore a good time to buy, although not such a good time to sell houses within the UK.

Due to the current economic climate, house repossession is presently at an all time high. People are struggling to meet their repayments and finding themselves in very difficult situations. It has been predicted that a further 34,000 homes will be repossessed, within the UK, this year.

So what are the main reasons why we have seen such a big decrease in the value of properties in the current UK property market?

(1) Mortgage companies are far less willing to provide finance to those people who want to purchase a home. This is because many people are unsure whether they will have a job or not and whether repayments for these mortgages can be met.

(2) In order to obtain a mortgage, finance companies require the buyer to provide a much larger deposit. So for first time buyers, being able to get a mortgage to buy their first home has virtually become impossible.

(3) Many people expect house prices to fall further making them hold off buying now.

(4) Even with cuts in the banks base rates, people still find it difficult to get the mortgage they want. Over the last 2-3 years the mortgage prices have not really moved, people have just been holding off remortgaging.

The property industry is not at its healthiest at the moment, many construction workers are becoming out of work and many estate agents are closing by the day. As stated above, it is a very difficult time for this industry.
