Comparing the Sofia Office Rental Levels

Companies that are looking to outsource their business are often asking for a formula which with to compare the office rentals in Sofia. In case we take two office buildings with the same rental levels per sq.m but different service charge per month, we will assume that the building with the lower service charge is the better one and the one to be taken. But maybe we will be wrong. Before making a decision we should check what is included in the service charge.

One way to compare the rental levels of Sofia Offices and the charges that apply is the method of the open book. This method is based on the fees paid during the 12 months of the previous years and such sum is taken as a base sum for each month. The open book rental contracts usually enumerate all the expenditures – security service, technical support, landscaping, video surveillance, etc. Other issues that have to be taken into account include how often that Sofia office in particular is being cleaned.

The companies which are willing to outsource their business in Sofia should be aware of the service charge and of the utility charges. The service charge includes the expenditures made for the proper functioning of the building. They include facility management, security service, technical support, building taxes, etc. The utility expenses include electricity bills, water bills, heating / air-conditioning bills, etc.
