We know everything there is to know about first-time rentals, whether residential or commercial.

First-time rentals of residential and commercial space in medium-sized developments and larger require specialist knowledge, both from an architectonic point of view and in relation to the technicalities of marketing the property. We can demonstrate cutting-edge proficiency in both respects.

In order to optimise the full potential of a development project, we are increasingly brought in by clients to collaborate early in the planning phase in order to ensure the best possible design and development of the end product. In many cases, we also serve as members of the architectural planning committee. 

The process of setting up a first-time rental commission comprises the following:

Initial offer phase / preliminary inquiries

  • Initial assessment and project evaluation
  • Preliminary calculation of potential rental value
  • Submission of offer for subsequent phases

Analysis phase

  • Conducting market and location analyses
  • Compiling the leasing concept and marketing proposal
  • Undertaking analyses of the property and its envisaged purpose
  • Provision of advice in determining mix of occupancy, material realisation of the project, and design of the layout

Preparatory phase

  • Marketing of the property: defining the most suitable marketing tools
  • Collation of the relevant documents pertaining to the letting process
  • Determining the most advantageous rents achievable in accordance with the prevailing market
  • Setting up of the project website with all relevant information, details of the properties available to let, standard of finish, etc.
  • Compilation of the lease prospectus with a description of the property, floor plans, photos, terms and conditions of lease, location-specific background (local and regional), information on transport connections, and so on
  • Drawing up of approved plans in accordance with the requirements
  • Marketing via the defined channels, such as our extensive client database, in both German and English
  • At a subsequent stage (following evaluation): PR-related articles on the project and/or property in regional and local newspapers, blogs on our own property blog

Letting phase

  • Conducting individual viewing appointments and open days
  • Compiling the lease agreements and undertaking all the necessary checks
  • Providing feedback to the client on a proactive basis
