What to check before you sign
The same questions decide most warehouse leases. Ask them before you visit.
- 1
Power
Ask for the power load in kW or kVA, and whether it is enough for your machines, cold storage or charging. Upgrading the supply is slow and paid by the tenant.
- 2
Height and loading
Check the clear height under the roof, the number of loading doors and whether a 40 ft truck can turn in the yard.
- 3
Civil Defence and licence activity
Your trade licence activity has to match the use of the unit, and some goods need Civil Defence approval. Check both before you sign.
- 4
Office and staff space
Many units include a small office, toilets or a mezzanine. Ask what is included in the size you pay for.
- 5
Payment terms
Most warehouse landlords in Al Quoz ask for 4 cheques a year. Agree it early: it changes how much cash you need up front.
