How to choose a warehouse or production space

We recommend you find one company that will provide you with expert support in the process of finding warehouse and manufacturing space. Don’t be afraid to contact reputable companies that will also provide consultation in related areas (such as building and technical advice, etc.). A smaller company does not always mean lower costs, especially when usually in the Czech market the commission is paid by the landlord, not the tenant. From this stage onwards, your chosen real estate company should help you with all the next steps.

It is important to comprehensively map the market at the start of your search. Unfortunately, it is not possible to rely solely on web servers, where we often find that online advertising often contains invalid or outdated listings. If you contact a real estate company (like us) – they should provide you with a valid and verified list of all available listings, which should match the reality.

A personal inspection of the property is crucial for several reasons. It gives you a better idea of the actual dimensions and layout of the space right from the start. During the inspection, you can better assess whether the space is suitable for your business. Another important reason is that you also have the opportunity to ask the landlord or broker additional questions and get additional information that can play an important role in the decision-making process. The more information you gather about the property, the better your decision making will be. Don’t underestimate the importance of a personal inspection.

Have you done the tours yet? Now choose a few of the best options and make a shortlist. We recommend 3-4 options so that you don’t make your decision unnecessarily complicated by a large number of offers.

Before signing a lease agreement, it is essential to verify whether the intended company activity can be carried out in the given location and specific premises – whether in terms of the zoning plan, approval or technical conditions. In the event that structural modifications are required, such as enlarging the office area, modifying access ramps, installing partitions or other interventions in the layout, it is advisable to discuss the scope and cost of such modifications with the owner in advance. This is because these costs usually enter into the overall commercial arrangement and may be reflected in the rent, length of contract or other terms of the offer.

Bid prices within the advertisement cannot be relied upon. What is important is a comprehensive offer from the landlord to your company in the form of the so-called Heads of Terms. This contains not only the rent amount but also all the other parameters and commercial terms that ultimately have an impact on costs and the whole transaction. Your adviser will help you obtain this and make sure the offer contains everything it should.
