“We initially started looking for new premises online. I found it challenging that the same properties appeared multiple times, some of which were no longer available. The added value of Bureau’s broker was significant, as they quickly mapped out available spaces which saved me a great deal of time,” says Harri Helin, Store Manager at Helkama Velox Oy.
A Bureau agent surveyed new retail premises in the Vantaa, Espoo and Helsinki areas. Free spaces were searched for a long time, as the client preferred Vantaa's Tammisto district. There were no available spaces publicly marketed in that area, but a Bureau agent found a suitable one through quiet marketing, which the client ultimately took. "Key criteria for us in the space search were definitely location, and it was a plus that the building was relatively new," Helin describes.
"It was not easy to find premises meeting our criteria in our desired location, but thankfully a Bureau agent responded to our needs. The agent was proactive throughout and kept us constantly updated. We are very satisfied with the service received and recommend Bureau to others," says Helin.
