Offices,Serviced: To Rent Nationwide!
There are a lot of serviced offices in or out of industrial parks scattered all over the UK. Over the past few years, especially with the growth of the internet, small businesses have preferred to use serviced offices and the commercial sector has capitalised on the phenomena by building more industrial parks and buildings to host serviced offices to rent.
If you are seeking offices that are serviced to rent then you will find there is a huge choice of properties to choose from especially if you search through the range of commercial property to let that is promoted and advertised on the internet.
This type of letting can be taken on a monthly or short term basis but it is usually arranged on a minimum of one year lease, you will have the benefit of reception, cleaning and kitchen facilities provided by the managing agents and will pay a service charge to cover this.
Some other serviced to rent offices also accept lesser tenancy terms e.g 3 months or 6 months, with some even offering a monthly service. This will usally also offer virtual office services which if you are unaware implies you don't use the office but you are allowed to use all its other facilities like mail, fax,telephone, reception and meeting room or conferencing facilities.
The level of services provided will depend upon the location and the rental charges that you are willing to pay, in some city locations it is possible to rent office space that has extravagant facilities including gyms, meeting rooms and concierge services included in the rental.
But it is possible to find offices serviced to rent that provide much more basic services, a reception area, vending machine and toilet facilities may be all that you require.
This can be an affordable and practical alternative to larger premises and all of the responsibilities this may entail.
Many new start up businesses use these types of office spaces at the beginning of their venture in order to limit their responsibilities and assess the profitability and cashflow forecasts during the first months of operation.
Even a basic office that is serviced to rent will usually have a reception area, this will mean that if you have clients or customers visiting you they will be expected to sign in and will then be able to wait in the seating area until you are ready to meet with them.
The building may have CCTV or other security measures in place - this can cover the parking area or monitor visitors to the main entrances. You may be able to use an entry system with cameras to enable you to have control over who is granted entry to your personal office space.
When viewing these properties find out exactly what is included in the rent, telephone connections between your office space and reception should be part of an internal telephone system, cleaning of hallways and shared kitchen or toilet facilities, plus all maintenance and repairs are the minimum requirements for most offices that are serviced to rent.
