With a move you have several costs. The rent is only a small part. Travel is another factor. If rewiring is needed, it will cost even more. All these costs add up to make a real price.

Average, or cheapest? If it really was average, then you're going to
have need to justify precisely how the added bonuses from Wikia are
worth whatever the difference was between the cheapest and the
average. You need to use an abundance of caution when you're a charity
doing business dealings with a company whose board overlaps with
yours.
