Factory Relocation Advisory
A factory relocation is two property projects and one operational one, and they have to be sequenced together. BigSpace advises on the destination, sources the new facility, manages the exit or sale of the old one, and plans the timeline so production is interrupted as little as possible.
Who This Service Is For
- Plants outgrowing their site or their lease
- Manufacturers moving from urban premises to an industrial belt
- Companies consolidating several units into one
How We Work
Requirement assessment
A structured brief covering operations, area, specifications, budget, timeline and the constraints that cannot move.
Sourcing & shortlist
Published stock plus the off-market pool — developers, landlords, occupiers exiting or assigning — filtered against the brief.
Evaluation & due diligence
Title, approvals, measured area, utilities and access verified before a site visit is arranged.
Commercial comparison
A like-for-like matrix of total occupancy or acquisition cost, not headline rate.
Negotiation & transaction
Terms benchmarked against comparable deals actually closed, then documentation and registration coordinated to completion.
After-sales support
A named advisor stays on the account: handover, renewals, expansion, disputes and an annual review.
What We Evaluate
- Destination fit for process, workforce and supply chain
- Overlap period and the cost of running two sites
- Value and route for the outgoing property
- Approvals and licences at the new site
- Workforce retention and transport
Frequently Asked Questions
How long should we allow?
Twelve to twenty-four months from decision to full production at the new site is realistic, with the approvals and the fit-out on the critical path rather than the search.
Can you sell the old factory?
Yes; an industrial asset sale or a sale and leaseback on the old site is often what funds the move, and we run both.
What about the workforce?
Distance from the current workforce is one of the criteria we score, because a plant that loses its skilled staff has not relocated, it has restarted.
