Petr Narwa, Head of Transaction & Consulting Services at Prochazka & Partners, who has long been involved in commercial real estate and investment services, answered the interview. What does Petr say about the current situation in the market, where tenants are currently trying to save as much as possible and where the pandemic has disrupted the income of real estate investors?
Whether you are a property owner or a property manager, steady rental income equates to a well-streamlined cash flow. The rent roll data builds the foundation for day-to-day operations in asset and investment management. They also built the foundation for the valuation of the asset. Therefore, accurate and consistent data is crucial to make the right decisions.
Prochazka & Partners follows up its spring client research on the future and use of offices. The survey, which takes place during the second lockdown, which the Czech Republic is now facing, was attended by almost 100 companies with a floor area of over 350 thousand. m2 (approximately one tenth of the Prague market). The company most often solves the current crisis by looking for a subtenant (16.5%), reducing office space (11.5%) or negotiating a lease on more favorable terms (8.2%). On the contrary, 9.8% of respondents are thriving and expanding despite the crisis. The rest (54.1%) then waits for the end of the lease, as current conditions prevent them from resolving the situation more effectively.
COVID-19 brings uncertainty to many tenants, and with current social distancing measures in place as well as a majority of companies transitioning to working from home arrangements, the requirements of an office space have been severely impacted.
In the last month alone, the vacant office space offered by tenants for sublease has approximately doubled (from 50 to 100,000 m2). This is a unique opportunity, especially for small companies with up to 50 employees, which can now afford prestigious "A" offices commonly intended for larger corporations due to the coronavirus crisis. And under very advantageous conditions, often with a better price or higher flexibility of commitment compared to standard five-year contracts.
