When a client comes to you for help with a property search, the obvious place to start is a traditional lease.

However there are other options that might fit their needs better, particularly if they only want the space for a few years, require flexibility or they are under tight time constraints.

A managed office is one that looks and feels very much like a traditional lease, but with many of the convenient features of a serviced office, such as an all-inclusive price and the need to deal with only one supplier. The growing popularity of this solution has been demonstrated to Instant through the closing of 5 new contracts in the last 2 months for offices across London for both private and public sector clients, amounting to 150,000 sq ft in total.

Instant work alongside agents to deliver the best solution for the client, ensuring that all the client’s requirements are met throughout the deal and adding value by creating an all-inclusive, turn-key offer for a fixed price. We are able to turn the deal around very quickly often working within very tight time constraints.

So how does a managed solution work and why would you recommend it to your client? This question is best answered by an example of a project Instant undertook for a large London financial institution.  Click here to view the case study.

Richard Proctor from CBRE worked with Instant to put this deal together and he commented “Instant were very professional throughout the deal process. Their managed office service was an excellent fit for our client and we look forward to working with Instant in future”.

With regard to fees, an agent can either be paid in the conventional manner, however if it works better for the client, the fee can be wrapped up in the all-inclusive price paid for the contract.
