How to choose a office space for rent in Kochi

Compare on chargeable vs. carpet area — the loading differs a lot between buildings.
Negotiate the rent-free fit-out period and the annual escalation.
Get fit-out quotes early; a bare-shell floor costs much more to fit out than a warm-shell one.
Check power availability, DG backup and parking ratio before anything else.
Register the lease where the law requires it — stamp duty varies by state.

Frequently asked questions

What is the office rent per sq ft in Kochi?

Lease rents depend on building grade, locality and floor, and maintenance (CAM) is usually charged on top. Send us your size requirement and we will get current quotes.

What is the difference between bare-shell, warm-shell and furnished?

Bare-shell is a concrete floor with no AC, ceiling or flooring. Warm-shell adds AC, false ceiling, flooring and basic electricals. Furnished (plug-and-play) includes workstations and cabins from the previous tenant. Rent rises with each step, fit-out cost falls.

How much deposit do landlords ask for?

Landlords usually ask for an interest-free security deposit of several months' rent, refundable at exit less damages. The amount is negotiable and differs by building.

What's the minimum lease term?

Office leases usually have a multi-year lock-in within a longer lease, with a notice period after the lock-in. Terms differ by landlord.

Does Desk Daddy charge for leasing?

For conventional leases the landlord pays our fee. You pay nothing.

Should I lease or take a managed office?

It depends on headcount and how long you plan to stay. Smaller teams and shorter horizons usually favour a managed office for cash flow and flexibility; large teams with a long horizon may pay less with a direct lease. Desk Daddy can put both options side by side for your headcount.
