Hi Silklisters, I need some urgent help in Bangalore.
An advocate friend of mine needs to move out of her current office and is looking for a new office. But it's not just a simple real estate search, because... Her practice has a high pro bono component and clients need her office to be close to a well serviced bus stand and the Metro. Also, she and her colleagues shuttle between the family court, the city civil court, the high court, and the magistrates court. So, the ideal area in which her office needs to be is infantry road, Church Street, Cubbon Road, and thereabouts. Unfortunately these areas have become highly gentrified recently and the asking rents are at sell-a-kidney levels. So, if anyone has any leads to an office space (or could be a residential space as long as the apartment society/association is ok to rent out to a law practice) that satisfies the following criteria, please pass on leads. Requirements: 1) 1000-1200 sq ft of space 2) should have a dedicated toilet attached (ie no shared toilets that need to be shared with other building occupants) 3) within the infantry road, Cubbon Road, Church Street area. Or really close to a metro station and a well serviced bus stop. 4) landlord should be willing to rent for 2-3 years (at least 18 months) 5) not exhorbitant rent PS: a) Landlord need not worry about renting to lawyers, they are really peaceful people. b) We've already tried almost every broker in the area. Personal contacts would be better. But if it's a super broker, please pass on those contacts too. c) Please help.
