When it comes to finding an office to rent in Sidcup, you really need to consider what is best for you and your business. Many of our business customers find that they like our offices because we have no hidden costs and we are situated in a good location. Our offices to rent in Sidcup are no different as they are located within our storage facility which is just a four minute drive from the centre of Sidcup. A good location is important because it gives you access to local amenities, transport links and much more.

There is, of course, more to consider when looking for an office to rent in Sidcup. Within this article we are going to talk through our top five tips for finding your ideal office to rent in Sidcup. 

Determine Your Business Needs

Firstly, you need to think about your business needs and how much space you actually need. When thinking about space you need to consider the size of your current team, whilst giving yourself some room for growth. 

You also need to think about essential features that you need within your office to rent in Sidcup. These will be different for each business but could include things such as natural light, meeting rooms, high-speed internet etc. 

Set Your Budget

Next, you need to think about your budget, making sure to remember all the costs involved. If you go down the traditional office route, you will have to include utilities, maintenance and cleaning, alongside your rent. 

With managed or serviced offices, many things are included with the rent price, such as utilities, internet and the office will be maintained and cleaned by the company. This will give you more money for other business needs but you need to think about whether this really works for you, your team and your business. 

Choose the Right Location

As we have already mentioned, the right location for your office to rent in Sidcup is crucial. The right location will give you convenient access as you and your team will have easy access to transport links and road links. Within Sidcup, the right location will also give you easy access to central London which will be a boom for your business.

Our offices to rent in Sidcup are just over an hour away from central London, meaning you can benefit from being out of the city, where it is cheaper and quieter, whilst being able to access it easily for client meetings. 

Having the right location will also mean that you are close to local amenities such as cafes, shops and banks that can support your business and staff. 

At our location in Sidcup, we have a Tesco Superstore close by and we are just a short drive or thirty minute walk from Sidcup high street. 

Search for Offices to Rent in Sidcup 

When you begin looking, you can look at both online platforms, such as Zoopla or Rightmove, and you can also speak with local real estate agents. 

No matter what route you take to find offices to rent in Sidcup, you must make sure to visit any potential spaces. This will allow you to get a true sense of the place and allow you to see if it will work for you and your business. 

Review Lease Terms Carefully

Once you have the office that is right for you, you will want to review the lease terms carefully, really taking into consideration whether or not the terms work for you. 

In many traditional office spaces, you will have to sign a fixed lease which will state you will be renting and paying for the office for a certain period of time which, with traditional offices is usually a number of years. No matter what happens with your business, you will be expected to pay for this office space until your lease expires.

Serviced offices, like what we offer at Cinch Self Storage Sidcup, often come with a flexible lease. This gives your business the space to evolve as you will not be trapped paying for an office that no longer works for you. Speak with the storage team about notice periods as even with flexible leases, you will need to give some notice before leaving. If you don’t do this, you may experience charges. 

If you don’t understand parts of your lease, speak with the team. All professional storage teams will be able to help you with any questions or queries. If you are really concerned about any parts of the lease, you could also consider speaking with a lawyer. 

Navigating Offices to Rent in Sidcup

When it comes to finding your ideal office to rent in Sidcup, there are many factors that you need to consider. You need to think about how much space you need, taking into consideration your plans for the future and whether you plan to expand your business and team. After you know your business needs, you need to think about your budget and what location will be convenient for you, your team and your clients. 

Once you have this all figured out, you need to search for potential offices, online or via local estate agents, and once you have found places, you must visit them so you can see if they will really work for your businesses. 

When you have it narrowed down to one, you must make sure to properly read the lease terms, asking for help in understanding if you need it. 

We hope this article has helped you see the methodical approach you should take to finding an office to rent in Sidcup. A methodical approach is the only way you can ensure that the office will meet all your business needs.
