5 Questions to Ask Your Property Agency
As manufacturers and logistics companies climb out of the recession, many are looking for new sites, but with cost constraints being a bigger consideration than ever. For companies selecting a site for a new workshop or distribution facility in China, regardless of the location or purpose, one of the best ways to control costs and preserve value is to get professional advice. This week, Andrew Hatherley of global real estate consultancy CBRE explains how to determine if you are getting the information you need.

RightSite: What are the top five questions tenants should ask to determine if a real estate agency has the ability to handle their requirements?

Hatherley: To gauge an agency's ability, we recommend that clients ask the following questions before engaging a property consultant to work on their behalf:

1. Does the agency have a full range of associated property services should they be required? For example, can they provide research, project management, valuations, consultancy or other services?

2. Does the agency have operators who specialize in the tenant's target locations?

3. Does the agency have staff specialising in the type of property that the tenant requires, such as business parks, or logistics?

4. Which individual agents within the agency will be assigned to work specifically for the tenant?

5. What track record or experience do these agents have in helping clients to fulfill similar requirements?
