Office rentals: Lessor 

We have created easy-to-use guides to help you get started with choosing premises and to support your company through the different stages of the selection process. In this guide, we explain how to recognize a good, value-adding facility partner.

The larger the tenant company and the longer the lease, the greater the role of the lessor to the success of the lease and the long-term benefits. 

Find out these things about your lessor: 

• Expertise: How is the lessor positioned in their industry? What kind of feedback do customers, facility agents and other stakeholders give about the company? 
• Longevity: How long has the company been operating in the market and how experienced is it? 
• Size: How extensive is the company’s selection? A large lessor is usually ready to invest more in modifications, provides more extensive services and is more able to help you scale your business. 
• Specialisation: Does the company offer all kinds of premises or does it specialise in certain types of properties and areas? The level of quality and expertise is typically honed by specialisation in a narrower market. 
• Development: How does the company develop and maintain its properties? Systematic and innovative development work indicates that the owner will also take care of your property and premises. 
• Networks: One of the most significant forms of assistance received by the tenant is the partner network provided by the lessor. Find out what kind of help the lessor offers at each stage of the rental process. 
• Sustainability: Find out how the lessor performs in the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) assessment and consider what kind of added value it offers you in terms of sustainability. Are the lessor’s properties certified, do they use renewable energy or does the property owner provide ESG support?
