Planning an Office Relocation: Expert Tips for a Successful Move

We understand that the mere thought of moving your office can feel overwhelming. This is why we want to offer you some top tips and considerations before you pack a single box or unplug the office kettle. It is essential to approach your office relocation strategically. 

1: Define Your Goals: 

Clarify your reasons for moving – whether it is expansion, cost-saving, or a move to a better location with more opportunities. This will help clarify your new office requirements and ensure your move fits with your business objectives.

2: Write a Checklist: 

An office relocation checklist is invaluable for tracking tasks and deadlines. It ensures a structured approach and helps you avoid overlooking critical details. If creating a checklist feels overwhelming, you can leave this task to your Harrow Green move manager to complete for you.

3: Create a Timeline: 

Set key dates for vacating your current office and moving into your new office space. Working backwards can help you create a detailed timetable for tasks such as IT relocation, furniture installation, and more. If you would rather focus your attention elsewhere during your office move, you can also leave this task in the capable hands of your Harrow Green office relocation team.

4: Budget Carefully: 

When you have never moved offices before, it can be challenging to understand the costs associated with your relocation and establish a realistic budget. You also need to include expenses for professional services, for example, if you need an electrician to upgrade the wiring and add extra sockets at your new premises and if you want to do any internal remodelling work before your office move.

5: Partner with a Commercial Property Expert: 

When looking for suitable new premises, it can be helpful to engage an experienced commercial property agent to find you office space and negotiate favourable lease terms on your behalf. Finding the right location, size, and facilities within your budget can be challenging when working alone.

6: Review Your New Office Lease: 

If you decide to seek out new office premises on your own, it can help to get legal advice before signing your lease. A property solicitor can review the details to ensure the terms are clear and protect your interests.

7: Design Your New Layout: 

Moving offices gives you the opportunity to plan new interiors and layouts for your office space. If you need help with this, our specialist Space Planning Team can create a functional and inspiring workplace that promotes productivity and employee well-being.

8: Plan Your IT Relocation: 

You will need to develop a detailed IT relocation plan, inspect your new premises to ensure proper infrastructure is in place, and arrange for the safe disconnection and reconnection of your office IT equipment.

9: Choose the Right Removal Company: 

Planning an office relocation involves putting the physical movement of your valuable business assets into the hands of a trustworthy moving company. While hiring a standard removal company can be tempting, there is a vast difference between moving home and an office full of sensitive electrical equipment. Plus, you must consider the risks of data protection and loss during the move. Home removal companies are not trained to protect your confidential business data, and the risks are high, so you may suffer a data breach as a result. Harrow Green is highly experienced in handling office relocations and has the necessary insurance coverage to perform these tasks.

10: Fulfil Dilapidation Obligations: 

Before you can return to your old office, you must complete any necessary repairs or refurbishments to avoid disputes with your previous landlord and ensure the return of your security deposit. 

We hope you find these expert tips helpful when planning an office relocation for the first time.
