Question 1

What is the difference between an office room and an office space?

Accepted Answer

An office room is a personalised, closed room and is often called an office unit. Office rooms occur in different sizes, up to 100 m2. Office rooms can be delivered fully furnished as well as unfurnished.

On the other hand, an office space is a big space of 100 m2 or more. Often, this is an entire office floor with open flexible workstations, office rooms, an own meeting room and a pantry.

Question 2

What is the difference between a regular workplace and a flexible workplace?

Accepted Answer

A regular workplace is different from a flexible workplace. The difference is the availability and not the working environment. If you rent a workplace, you have your own, dedicated desk. Therefore you dont have to clean up your desk each time you leave, you can just leave your personal belongings on your own, private desk.

On the other hand, if you rent a flexible workplace you do not have your own, dedicated desk. Instead, you paying for a membership. This membership gives you the right to make unlimited use of the workplaces in the open office spaces. Are all the workplaces taken? Then please try again in a few hours. A flexible workplace is cheaper than a regular workplace, simply because you dont know for sure if there is a workplace available at your desired working time.

Question 3

Can I rent meeting rooms at SKEPP?

Accepted Answer

No, SKEPP can only help you by renting (flexible) working spaces, virtual offices, office rooms and customized office spaces.

Question 4

How does SKEPP earn money?

Accepted Answer

People who are looking for office space or a workplace can use our service for free. Also, we do not ask for high rental prices. SKEPP earns money by charging the landlord a commission based on the monthly amount collected. For workplaces, this commission is 15% during the rental period and for office rooms and office spaces, SKEPP charges 10% of the rental income over the first year.

SKEPP has an arrangement with all landlords that the rental prices cannot be higher for people finding a workplace or office room via SKEPP. Everyone looking for a workplace can use SKEPP as a reliable platform which is specially designed to help you find your dream office.

Question 5

With whom is the contract eventually concluded?

Accepted Answer

The contract is eventually concluded with the landlord of the office building. SKEPP will make an appointment or schedule a tour to make sure you get in touch with the landlord of the office building.

Question 6

What do our current renters and landlords think about our service?

Accepted Answer

To keep improving our service, we regularly ask our renters and landlords to give feedback about the way we work.

We do this with help of the Feedback Company. Our current rating? A 9.2! And that's something we're very proud of. See for yourself at: feedbackcompany.com/nl-nl/reviews/skepp

Question 9

As the buildings owner, am I connected to SKEPP for a longer period of time?

Accepted Answer

We understand that youll want flexibility. We wont ask for exclusivity as traditional brokers still do. We think its strange to ask for a commitment from your side whilst we still havent booked any successes. As soon as you sign the broker agreement, we will start working on a No cure, no pay basis to find tenants. All we ask is that youll leave your offer on our website for at least 6 months, because we also invest time into writing a SEO optimal text and send a photographer.

Question 11

Do I still have insight in all the data and documents once I sign up for Officemanager?

Accepted Answer

SKEPP is aiming to make this market more transparent. Our landlord portal has all the contracts, key contracts, terms and conditions, deposit- and rental invoices at your disposal. Just log on and check everything out. Your VAT overview is also saved in this portal and you can even see what the (rent) potential of your office building(s) is. You can determine who can access the portal and who cant.

Question 12

Which Officemanager package is the best one for me?

Accepted Answer

This greatly depends on how much people should be able to access the landlord portal and how quick you and your tenants want their questions to be answered. Are you using your own template for contracts? Then wed recommend the Premium Officemanager package. Would you like to receive an answer to your question within 2 work days for you and your tenants? Then the Exclusive Officemanager package is a better choice. The Enterprise package offers you endless possibilities, total alleviation and always an answer within 1 work day. Finally it is important to know that every package gives you the right to, for a certain period of time, advertise for free! This can deliver you quite a lot of extra tenants. Contact our Finance department over the phone or mail us at admin@skepp.com.

Question 13

What if a tenant doesnt pay his bills?

Accepted Answer

We totally understand that this always is a tricky situation. Luckily at SKEPP, were always there for you. We will send 2 payment reminders, followed by a third and last one in which we state that we are going to transfer it through to a collection agency. Costs will be in expense of the tenant.

Question 14

Do I need to transfer all of my contracts to SKEPP?

Accepted Answer

If you want the administration to work as perfect as possible, that's the way to go. Our digital systems are faster and more precise than human hands could ever be. You will still have a clear view of all your data and documents. Over a 100 landlords are letting us handle their complete administration and we think that says it all. Do you want to start a little bit more careful? Not a problem, its possible to let SKEPP generate future proposals and contracts. This means that you can get used to this digital transformation. Do you have any more detailed questions? Contact our Finance department or mail SKEPP at admin@skepp.com.

Question 15

Who will be responsible for the right content in the contract?

Accepted Answer

The contracts will be set up according to the ROZ rental agreement for office spaces 2015. This means we use the standard set by the Real Estate Council. Internally, SKEPP handles with the 'Four Eyes' principle. This means that there are always two experts that take a look at a new contract. SKEPP will not be responsible for any mistakes and/or incompletions in the contracts, because SKEPP is not a party in this legal agreement between landlord and tenant.

Question 16

I found a tenant who wants Officeplanner, what do I do next?

Accepted Answer

Because Officeplanner is a flexible and durable interior design concept in which furniture is shared instead of owned, its a very popular product for tenants. No wonder that prospects start asking about Officeplanner. Bringing your own tenants is not a disadvantage for you as a landlord, because SKEPP wont charge the usual fee. It wont necessarily earn you more money, but your office space rents out quicker. One thing is certain, it is not costing you any (extra) money. We will arrange the proposal, the contract and deliver a proposal for the interior design towards the prospect (without any obligations). We like to make hay when the suns out, so call our Sales Department or ask them for more information via info@skepp.com.

Question 17

Is every office space suitable for Officeplanner?

Accepted Answer

No, not every office space is suitable for Officeplanner. Your office should be at least 100m². The ceiling in the office needs to be, at least, 2,60 meters high. We prefer the ceiling to be at least 2,80 to 3 meters, because of the cocoons. The room has to be fitted out with electricity and WiFi. Do you have offices that meets these requirements? Sign up for Officeplanner right away.

Question 18

What happens if a tenant wants to rent a bigger Officeplanner space?

Accepted Answer

First of all, congratulations with the expansion of your tenant! We love to make a new interior design proposal. A new contract contains the right amount of work spaces (article about delivery & services), an update of the Officeplanner furniture and the new price for the tenant. What if it is the other way around and a tenant wants a smaller room? Contact SKEPP and well take care of it, that is real flexibility and the will to make our customers happy.

Question 19

What are the tenants options regarding Officeplanner furniture?

Accepted Answer

The tenant will first make a choice for one of the Officeplanner styles. If they want a cool and creative style, they will pick URBAN Scandinavian and if they want a more corporate style they will go for URBAN Industrial. These styles have their own furniture to choose from and tenants can easily create their own office interior design. Are they having trouble? Contact us today and our interior design specialists will provide the right advice.

Question 20

Can I see a demo Officeplanner location?

Accepted Answer

We have an Officeplanner demo location at de Limiet 13-15 in Vianen. We will gladly show you around in this URBAN Scandinavian (1 of the Officeplanner styles) office space. You will get a look and feel about what Officeplanner is all about and you will see the options a potential tenant has. Your schedule doesnt allow a trip to Vianen? Just take a look at our 3D VR Tour of URBAN Scandinavian Vianen.

Question 21

Who will legally be the landlord, me or SKEPP?

Accepted Answer

The furniture will be owned by SKEPP, but the contract says that you will legally be the landlord. SKEPP will not be a party in the contract, because it will only be signed by you and the tenant. However, you will still have a separate Officeplanner Partnership Agreement with SKEPP, in which the obligations are recorded. The biggest advantage? You are owning the space and will legally be the landlord, but you will not have to invest a single dime in the furniture and office design.
