Complete the notes below.
Write ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.
Requirements:
Good lift access
Large lobby
Removal of some (7)
(8) too small—make bigger
Change office near entry to storeroom
New:
—paintwork
—lights
—blinds
— (9)
Minimum length of lease (10) (with right of renewal)
AGENT: Well, I’ll keep your requirements in mind and let you know when something comes up. Wait a minute... there is vacant office space on the tenth floor of this very building. Would you care to take a look? It has only just become available but I haven’t started marketing it yet because it’s in need of a bit of a makeover. The floor area is about the right size...
MR RICH: Good, let’s see it then.
AGENT: Well, what do you think? Elevator access is great and the lobby area is roomy enough for that disability vehicle you were telling me about.
MR RICH: Oh, I don’t know, there are too many small offices. Would we be able to take out a few of these walls and make bigger work areas?
AGENT: I don’t see why not--most of them are just partitions—obviously load-bearing walls can’t be touched but there aren’t many of those to worry about.
MR RICH: What about kitchen and dining facilities? We like our staff to feel comfortable eating at work--if they go out for lunch, it often leads to extended lunch hours and lost time.
AGENT: Come this way--this is the kitchen.
MR RICH: Oh, it’s a bit poky; we’d need to enlarge it somehow. What’s behind the wall here?
AGENT: That’s just a storeroom. You could take out that wall and expand into that space.
MR RICH: Then what would we do for a storeroom?
AGENT: Ah, well, see that tiny office near the entrance? It has no external windows or natural light—it would make an ideal storeroom.
MR RICH: Yes, you’re right. The whole place is a bit dilapidated—obviously in need of that redecoration you were talking about—and I don’t just mean a coat of new paint. I think all the light fittings would have to be modernized, those broken blinds have to be replaced and this old blue carpet definitely has to go.
AGENT: I agree. That’s something we can negotiate with the owner. But...overall, do you think it would fit your requirements?
MR RICH: Well, you haven’t given me any indication of what the lease would cost but before we get into that, what are the terms of the lease concerning length of tenancy?
AGENT: Well, generally in the city leases are never less than three years.
MR RICH: Oh? I mean we don’t mind signing up for that period of time initially but we don’t necessarily want to have to move after that—we’ve been in our last place for ten years, you know.
AGENT: Well, the usual agreement is a three by three by two—that’s a contract for three years with entitlement to extension for three years and then another two years after that. But let me speak to the owner first.
MR RICH: Mum...and one more thing: we have to consider the time frame—remember my current lease is due to expire in August.
AGENT: Well, with reliable contractors, it shouldn’t take more than a couple of months to do the necessary refit...
