What factors should be considered when choosing to purchase an office in Rome?

Before proceeding with the purchase, it's advisable to seek advice from a professional in the field or an expert in finding office and commercial properties in Rome. This professional will analyze the company's or professional's real needs through an in-depth study and prepare a list of proposals that truly meet their business and investment needs. 

A preliminary analysis by a real estate consultant will allow entrepreneurs to evaluate commercial buildings quickly. In summary, the following parameters should be considered when considering offices for sale in Rome:

• * Visibility : a key feature for a commercial property. Especially for a future sale, the most visible properties are also the most sought-after on the market;
• * Presence of Services: it is a good idea to carefully evaluate the presence of services in the area (for example, accountants, lawyers, banks or other services aimed at your business activity);
• * Neighborhood and locationThe location of an office in Rome is a determining factor, as is the availability of parking; here too, the company's needs will dictate the best choice.
• * Competitor: it is useful to check whether or not there are direct competitors near the office;
• * Management: it is important to carefully evaluate the management costs relating to concierge services or common areas and the actual level of maintenance of the building;
• * Dimensions: carefully consider the space required for employees and collaborators, especially for smart working, as well as the reception areas and any meeting rooms. It's advisable to favor natural light and open views for a more modern and functional look;
• * Convenience of purchasing as a capital goodOffices fall into the category of capital property. The purchase cost of capital property is deductible if the property is 100% used for office purposes (i.e., not for mixed-use purposes). Deductibility occurs through the depreciation process at a rate of 3%; if the property is purchased with a mortgage, the interest expense is also deductible. Another aspect to discuss with your real estate consultant is the VAT deduction.

Commercial property for sale in Rome: what affects the price?

The price, and therefore the sale of a commercial property in Rome, especially the sale of a luxury office, is determined by a series of factors:

• * the neighborhood; 
• * whether or not you overlook the main monuments of the Capital; 
• * the structure of the property (for example, the presence of frescoed ceilings); 
• the amount of natural light that illuminates the rooms; 
• * the choice of a property within a noble palace or one with significant historical significance.

In the age of smart working, where is it more convenient to purchase an office in Rome? In the city center, as a representative office, or perhaps on the outskirts, where you can benefit from features such as larger spaces and parking?

It all depends on whether the entrepreneur needs to purchase a representative office only or a full-fledged operational headquarters. 

Having optimized the operational side of things through smart working, you can opt for a representative office in the city center: it's always best to avoid restricted traffic zones, or in any case this aspect should be evaluated with the help of a professional, weighing whether it could benefit the brand's visibility or pose a complication for customers.
