We discuss what you need from your new premises, find suitable options and stay involved until the lease is signed. - **Suitable for:** New headquarters, growth and setting up - **Based on:** Ways of working, capacity, location and timetable - **Shortlist:** Advertised premises and upcoming vacancies - **Cost:** Help with the search is always free of charge ([Read more](https://www.locality.se/en/#ersattning)) ## Short answer Locality helps companies that are moving their headquarters, outgrowing their premises or setting up in Stockholm. First we discuss what you need from the new premises: ways of working, capacity, location and timetable. Then we put together a shortlist, book viewings and stay involved until the lease is signed. ## Who it is for Companies in Stockholm that are moving their headquarters, growing companies that need larger or additional premises, and companies setting up in Stockholm. ## Start with what you need from your premises You do not have to go through hundreds of premises yourselves. Before we start searching, we discuss together what you need from the new premises: - **Ways of working.** How you work, and what that means for workstations, meetings and shared spaces. - **Capacity.** How many people the premises need to accommodate, now and in the future. - **Location.** Where the premises need to be for the people who will work there and for those who will visit you. - **Timetable.** When you need to move in, and when you can give notice on your current lease. Then we shortlist the premises that fit, explain how each option could work for you and compare them side by side. Not sure yet where you want to be? See [how the areas of Stockholm differ](https://www.locality.se/en/offices/). ## Then the full office search Once we know what you need from the premises, we continue as in a normal [office search](https://www.locality.se/en/services/find-office-space/#sa-gar-det-till): a shortlist of premises, viewings of the ones you want to see, discussions with the landlord and a signed lease. ## Good to know If you already have premises that you will be leaving, the notice period decides when you can move: - **The notice period sets the timetable.** If your lease runs for an indefinite period, or for a fixed term longer than nine months, the notice period is usually at least nine months, but it can be longer depending on what you have agreed. - **The lease is extended if nobody gives notice.** If you have had the premises for more than nine months, notice must also be given on a fixed-term lease for it to end. Otherwise it is extended, for an indefinite period unless the lease says otherwise.

If you need to leave your old premises before the lease expires, read about [leaving premises early](https://www.locality.se/en/services/exit-lease-early/). If you need legal help, we work with the most experienced lawyers in the industry, who have expertise in your particular issue. ## What does the client say? > “There are consultants, and then there are partners like Locality who really listen and understand your needs.

We mainly help companies with 10–300 employees make decisions about commercial premises in Stockholm. ### Are premises that have not been advertised included? Yes. We gather vacant premises from several sources and keep in touch with landlords about upcoming vacancies. ### Can you help us see whether we should stay instead? Yes. In a lease renegotiation we compare your current lease with the market. That assignment is quoted separately. ### When should we get in touch? Preferably before you give notice on your current lease, so that the search can be done well ahead of your agreed notice period. We confirm the timetable in the needs assessment. ## Sources - Jordabalken (Swedish Land Code) Chapter 12, Section 3. Publisher: Sveriges riksdag (the Swedish Parliament). SFS 1970:994.
