Before you think about moving your business to another rented premises, or if you are thinking about moving a business that you started at home, which has now grown to the point that you need to rent office space, it is important to think about your business needs. You need to prioritise your needs and be clear about what you are looking for before you even begin the search for the right office to rent. Being clear and setting objectives will make the hunt easier and also shorter as there will be plenty of offices to rent – you just need to make sure that you get the right one.

If you have a list of necessary facilities and requirements, it will be easier to strike of those on the list that do not meet your requirements. You will more than likely have to compromise on some of your ‘wish list’ requirements, but as long as you are not compromising on aspects that are essential to the successful operation of you business then finding an office to rent will be easier.

What to consider when renting an office:

What is your budget? It is important to look at this first as it will give you an idea of what you can afford. You need to remember about business rates, legal fees and any service charges that come with the office. You will also need a budget for any alterations and improvements that you need to make to the space in order to make it the right office for your business.

Look at the needs of your business – do you need to be more central to attract people walking past or do you need to be near a motorway for access?

Size of your business – how many people do you have working for you? How many visitors will you have on a daily/weekly basis? You need to think about your employees, customers and any suppliers. You need to calculate the minimum space required so that you don’t make the mistake of renting an office that is too small.

Any special requirements you have. For example IT requirements – again, you must think about this and put them down in a list of essential and non-essential. The likely hood of you finding an office to rent with all your IT requirements catered for is slim – you may have to invest in upgrading what is already there or putting your own systems in.

Access for customers, employees and any disabled people who may be using your office.

Facilities such as toilets, canteen and kitchen areas and places for people to relax in.

It is important to look at your business plan and forecast. It would be a mistake to rent somewhere that is going to be suitable for your business for 6 months – you need to look to the future and rent somewhere that will be right if you expecting your company to grow significantly. You could look and see if there are other areas of the building that you could extend in to if this was the case.

The advantages of renting an office are that the up front costs are much less than buying. You don’t need to have a huge deposit or take the commitment that buying involves. You are protected from the decreasing property market, something that in the current market is a major consideration. Renting is also a fixed cost which is easier to put in to your budget which again, in today’s economy is a good thing. The landlord of often responsible for the upkeep of the exterior of the building and any shared areas, with the tenant being responsible for the upkeep of their own office – though this is something that you must get checked out by a solicitor before you sign the lease.

Once you have found somewhere that meets your requirements you then need to make sure that you and your employees would feel comfortable there. The office has to be a place where people will be able to work in a productive way. It Is amazing the positive impact of working in the right office can have, people will feel more inspired and will enjoy coming to work more than if you just settle for somewhere that isn’t suitable. Employees will thrive in the right building with the right atmosphere, this is why it is so important to think about your business needs before you even start to look for an office to rent.

While many excellent articles exist detailing cost-versus-value of home renovations, the truth of the matter is… your home is only as valuable as the neighborhood it sits in. Period. Let me give an example. You buy a home for $200,000 in a neighborhood of $200,000 homes and dump $50,000 in a sun room, renovating the kitchen and bath, hardwood floors, and what do you have? If you’re lucky, a $220,000 home. If you’re lucky. Because the bottom line is, people who’re buying a $250,000 home don’t want to live in a $200,000 neighborhood. They want to live in a $300,000 neighborhood.

More importantly, if you did list it at $250k and happen to sell it to someone unfamiliar with the area, that buyer’s appraiser is going to backpedal their way right out of the deal. Because appraisers run their comps from the homes that sold in that same neighborhood. And while they may “ooh” and “aah” as they appraise your home, that won’t change the facts. Even though most of us buy a home based on emotion, lenders don’t loan money on the warm and fuzzy feeling they get when they see your home.

Think of the worst area in your city. Now think of the best. Take two identical homes; place one home in one area and the other home in the other. See what I mean? What you have is the same home, but two different values. The neighborhood sets the value. The exception to this rule, at least in terms of price flexibility, is the home that does not sit in a subdivision.

Having said all that, fear not. This article does have redemptive value! What it can offer you are tips on which renovations will attract more buyers and help sell your home more rapidly.

The first and foremost renovation is the kitchen. The kitchen is the ultimate hangout spot for most of us. I’m not even going to attempt to analyze what that says about our culture, because it doesn’t matter. We just like hanging out in our kitchens. It’s the social hub of the home. And because were a food-based society . . . er, kitchen gatherers, we want our kitchen to be attractive to our guests too.

Depending on how handy you are and how much money you’re willing to spend is going to dictate the extent of renovations. If you decide to knock out walls and start from scratch, keep in mind the kitchen “triangle” principle regarding placement of fridge, stove and sink. That means simply that a uniform triangle can be drawn between the three. My own kitchen is more of a K,” but that’s another story!

Depending on the mood you want your kitchen to convey is where to go with cabinetry. Cherry or dark-stained cabinetry exudes a more elegant ambiance, while maple, oak and lighter woods convey a warm and homey feel. The hardware you place on your cabinetry could have a significant impact, too. Shiny finishes on knobs and pulls are less desirable than matte-type finishes, such as brushed nickel or oil-rubbed bronze. A granite sink is gorgeous, if you can afford it!

If you’re just striving to bring your kitchen into the 21st century, even a fresh coat of paint on old, peeling cabinets can make a huge difference. While attractive cabinetry is important, countertops run a close second. Avoid ceramic tile countertops, because the thought of keeping the grout clean will put many people off. If you’ve got money to burn, Corian, granite or even marble is your best bet. If you’re working on a tighter budget and have a flair for routing, you can install laminate countertops yourself. The tip to countertops is to avoid bold colors. Unlike bold colors on walls, you can’t make it go away with a fresh coat of paint.

Although new linoleum or vinyl are a far cry better than old linoleum or vinyl for those on a budget, the most popular kitchen flooring would be some sort of hard tile or hardwood floors. Laminate wood flooring is great too, but only if you don’t have hardwood flooring anywhere close to the kitchen. It makes a scary contrast when laid side-by-side!

You can never have too much lighting in a kitchen, especially if its zoned, meaning you have a switch for this section of lighting and a switch for this one. Take your time in placing the lighting, keeping in mind the location of the work areas you’ll use the most. Recessed lighting is also a very nice touch. It’s effective without being intrusive, and it gives any space a more updated look. You might consider under-cabinet lighting as it adds more direct light to an area but also creates a warm ambiance when all other lights are turned off. Mini pendant chandeliers over a breakfast bar or island is a very nice touch and can be found in both a contemporary or classic look.

If room allows, a work island not only offers more storage and prep space, but also makes a great place for guests to rest their elbows while they’re chatting with the cook.

The backsplash is always a nice touch to any kitchen, especially tile. The days of the hard plastic backsplash have long since past. Wallpaper as a backsplash is never a good idea, if only for the reason that people’s taste in wallpaper varies as radically as their taste in food.

Though the master bedroom and baths run about even in terms of what draws people, I’m going to address the master bedroom next. People want decadence. Not in terms of rich decor, but in terms of space. Bigger furniture means more space needed. Folks love the idea of a sitting area, even if they never use it. A walk-in closet is always a good bet. And though lots of windows are attractive, think about where you’re going to put your dressers.

Renovating a bathroom could be the most time-consuming. If you’re thinking about replacing the pink tile floors and tub surround with a more neutral color, you’ll need to remove it first. Again, ceramic tile or slate makes a bigger visual impact than vinyl.

As with the kitchen, consider your choice of cabinetry and hardware. A double-bowl vanity is a bonus over a single-bowl vanity. Enclosing the commode doesn’t just allow for privacy, but is more effective in terms of confining unpleasant odors. The nicest and most beneficial improvement in vanities has been the gentleman’s height vanity. Simply put, it’s a taller version of the standard-sized vanity. No more straining your back stooping to brush your teeth or retrieve toiletries. Again, matte faucets and hardware over shiny. Recessed lighting over flush-mount lighting.

When it comes to shower versus tub, more and more people are opting for . . . both! The allure of the separate shower and tub is this: shower is all function; tub is all luxury, especially whirlpool tubs. However, if your budget doesn’t allow for a full-scale bath remodel, consider smaller, more cost-effective updates, such as paint, flooring and fixtures.

So while a sun room, tiered deck or finished basement would be a wonderful bonus to any home, your time and money might be better spent enhancing what you’ve already got without pricing yourselves right out of your neighborhood!

Here are some great home decorating ideas for bringing the freshness of spring into your home.

Sponge paint your walls, or a key piece of furniture. Blues, greens, pinks, and yellows in pastel shades refresh a room, and the softness of sponging gives an impressionistic appeal.

Take clippings from outdoor ivy, and root in water for FREE houseplants. Buy inexpensive shade annuals and pot them up for indoors- fuchsias, impatiens, begonias, and primroses are wonderful for bringing in color, and deal well with the lower light indoors.

Dress up candles as natural works of art instead of putting them away for the warm months. Use a glue gun to attach organic materials such as dried twigs, flowers, cinnamon sticks, worn out potpourri, pressed leaves, coffee beans…use what you have! Or, tie on raffia or ribbon and group candles on a shelf, tabletop, or on a mirror.

Paint inexpensive houseplant pots to give your room designer touches. Sponge paint over clay pots, or use a stencil or simple pattern to give interest. This technique can also be used on your outdoor pots. Hint: for a more elegant look, try using the new metallic craft paints over clay pots. Simply sponging on some metallic paint (try combining them) can look extremely upscale.

Got an old wooden stepladder? Use it as a great plant stand to bring the green indoors. You can paint it or leave it rustic and weathered, depending on the style of your room. Full size wooden ladders can look great on the patio.

Add spring detail to your window treatments by using small grapevine wreaths as tiebacks or swag holders. You can add more interest by gluing on a small bunch of dried flowers. This is a great way to reuse flowers from a damaged arrangement, or leftovers from another project.

Buy artificial plant vines at the craft store, and drape them over the tops of your window treatments, or wrap them around a floor lamp. Watch the craft stores carefully, and you can usually catch them on sale for just a couple of bucks.

Cover cardboard boxes with fresh floral fabric, and stack on a table like hatboxes. If you utilize scraps from another project, you will have creative, decorative storage, virtually free!

Renovating a house can be a challenging but rewarding experience. However, when it comes to the best way to spend your renovation dollars, consider what will have the most impact on your home value. Renovation will cost you a pretty penny, but if you do it right, they will bring you a significant return when you sell your home. 

Kitchen seem to have replaced living rooms and family room in the last decade as the heart of a home. It seems to have become “the place to be”.  Renovating a kitchen can range to changing the counter tops and fixtures to a full overall complete with new floors, cabinets and appliances. Because kitchen usually suffer the most wear and tear, they seem to become dated faster than any other room in the house. Any investment you make in your kitchen to make it appear modern and current will bring a great return on your investment. The average return on investment for a kitchen remodeling is 102%. 

Another great renovation project to consider is the remodeling of a dated bathroom. A bathroom that is up to date will make your home look like it’s been kept in good repair. While the average bathroom remodeling may put you back around $10,000, you will recoup all the money and more when you sell you home. However, if money is a little tight, consider just replacing the water fixtures and accessories for a fresh look. The average return on investment for a bathroom remodeling is around 100%. 

Buyers with families will tell you, one bathroom is not enough! Adding a second, or even third, bathroom to your home will have a very positive impact with potential home buyers. Is space is limited, consider adding a powder room. 

Outdoor living has regained popularity in the few years and the trend is to create outdoor rooms. Building or extending a deck will instantly increase the living space of your home and will only have required a small investment. It is estimated that the average home owner would recover about 85% of the cost of a new wood deck. 

Another high impact renovation project is finishing the basement. Adding extra living space to your home will greatly impress potential buyers, especially if your home is on the small side. Think of creating a family room, an office or an extra bedroom in the basement. This project will greatly impact the overall value of your home. 

Before placing your home on the market, a good overall freshening might be in order. Paint is an inexpensive way to brighten up any room and make it more current. Also consider replacing dated or broken door knobs and fixtures. Updating light fixtures for more modern ones will also quickly update your home without costing you a lot of money. 

A good rule of thumb when renovating is not to try to make your home the best on the block. To properly recover these home renovation investments, make sure you keep an eye on your neighborhood. No matter how spectacular the final results of your remodeling, if you try to push your home’s value beyond 25% of its current selling price, you probably will not get it. Remember that overspending on materials and finishes may end up hurting you in the end as you be overpricing your home.

Quick Property Sale

When renting a condominium anywhere in the country, look for one that is safe, secure, comfortable, and convenient. While looking at a condominium for rent, many people consider how nice the space is and how much it costs, but the safety features of the condominium and the complex itself are often overlooked. Many times, the shortfalls aren’t discovered until after a serious situation has occurred. In order for a building to be completely safe, the owner, property manager, and tenants must work together as a team to ensure a safe and happy rental experience.

General Safety Items

The law requires all condominiums for rent have safety equipment in good working condition that is correctly placed throughout the building. Smoke detectors are mandatory by law and need to be working at all times, regardless of the type of system in use. Carbon monoxide detectors are also mandatory by law in some areas when renting a condominium. Check with the local authorities to be certain, however, they are always a good idea. Other safety equipment, such as fire escape ladders, hoses, and extinguishers, should also be in place. These are not always required either, but all of these items should be in good working order if they are included.

Security Features

When renting a condominium, you should require safety lighting. The exterior of building, parking lots, and interior pathways to your front door should be lit well so you can identify hazards easily, including items you might trip over. This also helps to deter crime since it is easier to recognize danger and identify those committing crimes.

Security features that come with a condominium for rent are important, especially considering the large number of people in and around condominium complexes. Locking mechanisms and sturdy framing are important for the front door and the door to the condominium itself. Patio doors and windows should also have some kind of lock or security device to keep them secure. When renting a condominium, remember not to leave doors or windows open at night or while you are gone. The complex itself may have a security system in place as well. The most common ones are remote and intercom locking systems or secure gates on the outside of the property.

Exit Signs And Routes

Any condominium for rent needs to have highly visible and well-marked exits. This includes doors, windows, stairways, and any other escape routes from the building. The routes to the escapes are also important to examine. They should be clear of items you may trip or slip on. There should be nothing standing in the way. Safety equipment, such as hoses and extinguishers, can be in the hallways and stairwells, but they need to be off the floor so you don’t trip on them. These items need to be in a space so they will not get in the way in case of an emergency.

Emergency plans for the building need to be in place with any condominium for rent. Check for a map of escape routes and instructions. It should be clear and easily read. The property manager may also have a specific safe area for all residents to meet in case there is an emergency after renting a condominium. There should also be a plan in case of a tornado or other natural disaster.

Each area will have its own set of laws and rules that property owners and managers need to follow. Others are optional for the manager. You need to feel safe and protected in a condominium for rent. Decide what you are willing to compromise on and what is necessary. You may also be able to work with the owners to set these things into place. When renting a condominium, remember that even with every possible safety feature in place, you must ensure they remain that way. The highest level of safety is obtained when everyone works together.

Quick House Sale

There are many situations when lack of the necessary cash stands in the way of your plans. Whatever those plans may be, quick house sale is often the best solution to your problem. Apparently, selling your home quickly for cash would take a miracle. In reality, the situation is a lot different.

You probably already know what selling your home in the traditional way means. Selling your home through a real estate agency may be a good option, but it certainly isn’t your best one when you need a quick house sale. Involving third parties in the process of selling your home equals more time, more expenses, and a lot more reasons for things not to go as planned. On the other hand, leaving all third parties out of the house sale process is more advantageous in terms of expenses, yet very time-ineffective. And in both situations, you always run the risk of not agreeing over the price and being forced to start the whole process all over again. You buyer may change his mind at the last minute, leaving you with no solutions. Furthermore, if you choose to use the services of a real estate agency, you must be aware of the fact that the chain of individuals who are involved in the sale process can collapse at any time. In addition, selling your home takes time, and more often than not time is something you do not have.

Fortunately, all these unpleasant situations can be avoided. The quick house sale process can be completed to your advantage. This means that you can get the amount of cash you need in a timely fashion, without having to wait for several months. Until recently, when it came to house sale, homeowners were presented with two options, namely that of selling their homes with the help of real estate agents or looking for potential buyers themselves. Recently, a far better option has been added to this list. You can now sell your home directly to investors who specialize in buying homes quickly and can offer you the amount of cash you need. And when we are talking about property buyer networks that have a property asset base worth tens of millions, you can imagine that selling your home quickly for cash is something that can be easily achieved. Selling your home no longer has to be that complex and time-consuming process. All you have to do is contact such property buyers via the Internet. Once you have provided some information about yourself, your situation and your property, you will be made an offer within forty-eight hours and the quick sale process can be completed in less than five weeks! No hassles, no potential buyers coming to your house and intruding your privacy, no chances of buyers changing their minds at the last moment, and so forth.

If your reasons for wanting a quick house sale include divorce, separation, immigration, financial difficulty, repossession, or any other situation in which you need quick cash but you don’t want to leave your home just yet, you can always opt for the sell and rent back scheme. This too is available from the same property buyers who are willing and able to buy your home quickly for cash.

Repossession

Moving to a foreign country can be intimidating and finding the best place to rent can be daunting. Dubai’s expatriate population is steadily increasing and demand for rental properties is high. Unfortunately for tenants, this has resulted in skyrocketing rents. Approximately half of UAE residents spend about 30% or more of their salary on accommodation expenses. Despite the costs, most expats, mainly in the UAE for short-term work contracts, opt to lease rather than invest in the real estate market. To the relief of many of those looking to rent property in Dubai, the government has imposed legislation stipulating that any rent increase shall not exceed 7% of the annual lease price. There are also several new property developments underway that should take some pressure off the market in the near future.

Housing allowances are typically part of the expat package. Although in the past companies would cover the bill for the entire rental amount, the trend now is for expats to be allocated a certain percentage of the total yearly accommodation cost, with the rest being paid for out of their salary. Other fees to bear in mind when renting include a security deposit (refundable at the end of tenancy if the rental is deemed to be in good condition by the landlord), possible car parking fees, monthly utilities, municipality charges (typically 5% of the lease), and a 5% commission fee if the services of a real estate agent are used. Maintenance and repairs of the property are covered by the landlord. Tenants are not allowed to make changes to the structure of the property inside or out without the permission of the landlord.

The lease will often be drawn up between the landlord and the tenant’s company / sponsor. If an expat signs the lease himself he must have a residence visa or at least a letter from his employer stating that a visa is in process. The normal duration of a lease is one year. Unlike in many countries where rent is paid on a monthly basis, in Dubai the entire year’s rent is paid upfront, most commonly with 2 or 3 checks. For example, in the case of bi-annual payment, the first 6 months of the lease are paid for immediately with a current dated check, while the remainder of the year is paid for with a post-dated check. (Short-term furnished monthly accommodation in Dubai is available but it is often more costly.) It is important to understand that once the lease is signed, the tenant is tied to the contract. In order to terminate the lease the tenant would need permission from the landlord. That being said, the rental laws in Dubai actually favor tenants. Landlords cannot force a renter to leave without a very good reason (such as wanting the property for their own personal use). Even if the lease is only for a year, as long as the tenants do not break any aspects of the contract, the lease is presumed to be renewable. The Municipality has a special section set up, the Dubai Rental Committee, to oversee any disputes between landlords and tenants.

After cost, location is probably the biggest factor in determining where to rent. Dubai is split in two by the Creek with Deira (or “Old Dubai”) on one side and “New Dubai” on the other. The decision for where to rent is based on factors including accessibility to work, schools, shops and hospitals. Some of the most popular locations to rent include: Garhoud: located near Dubai International Airport and offering low-rise apartments and townhouses at reasonable rents.Mirdiff: a newer development consisting mainly of villas located past the airport.Bur Dubai: located near Bur Juman Shopping Center and offering reasonably priced apartments.Downtown Deira: reasonably priced low-rise apartments are readily available in this neighborhood, although if work or schools are located on the opposite side of the creek the traffic can be a nightmare.Satwa: a nicely located area situated between Sheikh Zayed Road, Bur Dubai and Jumeirah, offering low-rise apartments and reasonably priced villas. It is believed that zoning regulations will change for Satwa in the near future allowing development of high-rise buildings.Jumeirah / Umm Suqueim: ideally situated near parks, the beach and schools, this is probably the most popular area for the European and Local communities, offering upscale villas and townhouses.New Dubai Developments: including The Greens, Arabian Ranches, The Lakes, The Meadows, Emirates Hills, and Dubai Marina and located near Dubai Internet City. Many offer gated, family friendly communities with access to swimming pools and other recreational amenities.

Those searching for Dubai rental property can find extensive listings in the local classifieds or direct from property developers such as Alpha Properties, Arenco Real Estate, Cluttons UAE, Better Homes, or Century 21. The search for the perfect place to lease can be time-consuming and may seem overwhelming. Understanding UAE rental laws, using only a reputable real estate agent, and investigating the best possible locations are all part of making the hunt for an apartment or villa in Dubai successful.
