How much does office space cost in the UK?

Indicatively £160 to £950 per desk per month for an all-inclusive private serviced office, depending on the city and district. Central London sits at the top of that range; most regional cities fall between £220 and £450. Prices here are estimates for guidance — we confirm live pricing on enquiry.

What is the difference between a serviced office and a managed office?

A serviced office is a ready-made private suite inside an operator's building with everything bundled into one monthly invoice. A managed office is your own self-contained floor, fitted to your brand and specification, still on a single monthly fee but usually on a longer term and from around 20 desks upwards.

Can I use a flexible office as my registered company address?

In most cases yes — serviced offices and virtual office plans routinely include a registered office and business address service. Confirm it in writing with the operator before you file at Companies House, because a minority of buildings exclude it.

Do you charge for finding office space?

No. Our search, shortlists, viewings and negotiation support are free to occupiers. We are paid a finder's fee by the operator once you take space, so we can show you the whole market rather than one brand.

How long does it take to move in?

Ready-fitted serviced space is typically available within 24 to 72 hours of signing. Managed and bespoke fit-outs take four to twelve weeks depending on scope.

Which UK cities do you cover?

All of them. We hold live data on 38 city markets from London and Manchester to Aberdeen and Plymouth, plus business parks and market towns in between.

Overview

How the UK flexible office market prices up

The UK flexible workspace market is no longer a London story. Roughly one in ten office desks nationally now sits in flexible space, and the fastest growth is in regional city centres where operators have taken whole buildings in Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol, Glasgow and Edinburgh. For an occupier that means genuine choice on price, term and specification in almost every city on this page.

Pricing is driven by four things: the city, the district within that city, the length of term you commit to, and how many desks you take. Moving one district out from the prime pitch typically saves 20–30% per desk for a walk of a few minutes. Committing to twelve months rather than three is usually worth another 10–15%. Taking twenty desks rather than five moves you into a negotiated deal rather than a rate card.

Every price on this site is an indicative market estimate used to help you budget. We do not publish operator rate cards, because they move constantly and are negotiable. When you enquire we run live quotes from the operators who actually have space that fits, and put them side by side so you can see what the differences really are.

Important: where this page uses the words “rent”, “rental”, “lease” or “let” to describe workspace, those terms are used for descriptive and search purposes only. The agreement offered by flexible workspace operators is a licence to occupy, not a lease or tenancy, and it does not confer security of tenure under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. Prices shown are indicative estimates, not quotes or offers.
