Leasehold Offices
Leasehold office space, also known as Conventional Office Space, is the more traditional form of renting an office.
Renting Leasehold Office Space
If you are a medium to large-sized business (and financially secure so you don’t have to have a large rent deposit), then leasehold commercial space often works out more cost-effective than other ways of occupying an office in London or anywhere in the United Kingdom.New leases are typically longer than flexible office options, like Serviced or Managed, and historically are a minimum of 3 years upwards with 5-year terms being very common.
However, shorter leases are possible, through Subleases and Assignments, and of course, you can sign for longer terms too.
For Leasehold properties, as well as the Rent, Rates and Service Charge, you would be responsible for all the running costs of maintaining your office space, often called “your demise”.
Pre-fitted space is widely available, however if you wanted to fit out an office to your own specification then you’ll need to bare this cost in mind too as it can be quite expensive.
Leasehold transactions do take a lot longer than Serviced or Managed transactions. We recommend a minimum of 6 months (for smaller sized spaces) as a comfortable timeframe for viewing offices through to moving in. Medium to large scale office transactions can take close to at least 1 year upwards.
A project plan would define how much time you need for your office move and this and is something we would recommend you ask us for. It’s best to plan ahead!

As an office lease is one of the biggest expenses to a company, it’s imperative that you have an un-conflicted, tenant only agent/advisor, like us, advising you throughout the process.We will manage the whole process for you, from conception to completion. We help you make the right choice of office space and specialise in making sure that you get the best package of tenant-friendly financial terms.
If you’re weighing up your options and can’t decide whether to stay where you are in your current office or make the move to a new office, we can help you conduct a Stay vs Go Analysis. This would include showing you what’s on the market through reports, or physical viewings, and then weighing these options up with the costs of your current office as part of that process.
If you’re not in a rush and just want to see what’s currently on the market, we will happily send you an office availability report bespoke to your own business requirements.
Once you are ready to start the office search, we will accompany you on viewings to see all opportunities that match your criteria.
