The stability in the foreign exchange market and the easing of inflation rekindling interest in retail business once again. Nigeria had experienced what could pass easily as a revolution in the retail market. But with the economic recession came the naira devaluation which increased the rate of exchange of naira to the dollar; there was an increase in the price of the goods stocked which were mainly imported; there was the issue of inflation which peaked at 19 percent; there was also rising unemployment and falling salaries which together crimped individual and household disposable income. All these left the market struggling low footfalls, high vacancy rate, and reduced investment in mall development.

Bolaji Edu, CEO, Broll Property Services, hinted in an interview recently that, with the recession over, activities are gradually picking up, once again, with latent demand. “But this is no longer time for large malls of 20,000, 25,000 to 30,000 square metres.

Bishop Wayne Malcom ------Guest with Mrs. Udo Okonjo We found you the perfect office space Commercial Properties; The devil is in the detail

The Commercial real estate space is quite dynamic and requires expertise of the processes involved, it is clearly more complex than leasing a residential apartment. However too many corporate tenants take it for granted and end up making huge mistakes not following and understanding due process. To help minimize potential risks and other costly errors associat- ed with this, we have compiled a list of some of top 5 mistakes corporate tenants make when leasing commercial real estate.

1. Beginning the negotiation of a renewal or new lease too late.

Delayed negotiation of a renewal or new lease is one of the biggest mistakes we see corporates tenant make. In simplest terms, if you wait until your when your lease expires before you start speaking to your landlord about renewing your lease or before you start looking for a new space, you may have a hard time finding exactly what you need especially in a competitive market.

2. Competence and Expertise.

Many corporate tenants go into lease agreement process without prop- erly having adequate and required knowledge and as such, they have made lots of mistakes that have impacted their business negatively. Lack of knowledge combined with time pressure usually causes corporate tenants to make wrong location decisions without being aware of all the choices. This will sometime result in errors that cut into their profits and/or increase financial exposure. To guide yourself, consider getting the services of a commercial real estate advisor to walk you through the process and con- firm that a space will meet your current and future needs.

3. Commercial Lease Clauses - the devil in the detail

There is usually a lot of documentation as well as clauses in a commercial lease contract that are mostly in favour of the landlord. It’s therefore important to understand what those clauses mean and how they can they positively or negatively impact your business. Most times your real estate advisor/legal team can help you understand these and negotiate clauses that will be more in your favour.

4. Focus On Strategy, Not the Transaction

Whenever there’s a need for a company to move to a new development or to renew their lease, in the excitement of ensuring the transaction goes on smoothly, corporate strategy is often neglected. All negotiations tend to focus only on the major financial terms of the lease agreement and as a make the most of real estate opportunities and invest today - Udo Okonjo” result, the impact of the transaction on the portfolio strategy is easily for- gotten, important terms like rent review, expansion and contraction rights seem to have low priority in the leasing process.

5. Do not underestimate the time the process will require

The inability of corporate tenants to understand the time process required often results in companies having to stay longer in their existing premises “There are no limits on what you can accomplish, except for the that place your own mind and imagination- and may negotiate a soft lease renewal with the landlord. A successful relocation transaction time process should include time for a site analysis and property selection, negotiation, executive approval, legal documentation, fit-out, relocation, etc. All these processes need to be completed within the remaining period of the lease and if not the landlord will demand compen- sation as entitled as per the terms of lease.
