Offices and Workspace Solutions

Relocating your office can be one of the most disruptive challenges a business faces. However, with thoughtful planning and expert guidance, the process can become a seamless and positive experience.

Dependent on the needs of your business there are three primary types of office space - traditional offices, serviced offices, and managed offices. Whichever you may be looking for, at The Commercial Property Experts, we’re here to make that transition as smooth as possible.

What is a Traditional Office?

Traditional office space is the original model of workspace leasing. It typically involves a long-term lease where the landlord provides a blank canvas—a "white box"—and you take responsibility for fitting it out, furnishing it, and managing its day-to-day operations.

What’s Included?

In a traditional office, the landlord maintains the overall building and shared areas, but the specific space you lease is your responsibility to design, build out, and maintain. While this gives you complete control to create a bespoke workspace tailored to your business, it requires significant upfront capital and professional support to manage the process effectively. The long-term lease also offers little flexibility if your business needs change.

Who Does This Suit?

Traditional office space is ideal for established businesses with clear long-term requirements and the resources to create and maintain a custom environment. However, it may not suit fast-growing or dynamic businesses that require flexibility or prefer to avoid the complexities of office setup and management.

What is a Serviced Office?

A serviced office is an all-inclusive workspace solution, sometimes referred to as a coworking space. These offices come fully furnished and operational, with flexible terms that allow businesses to move in and get started immediately.

What’s Included?

Serviced offices offer fully equipped spaces with amenities such as cleaning, maintenance, and additional perks like networking events or refreshments. Lease terms are typically short, ranging from monthly agreements to 12-18 months, providing agility for businesses that need it.

Who Does This Suit?

Serviced offices are perfect for startups, scale-ups, and project-based teams. They’re also a great temporary solution for larger businesses in need of overflow space or short-term flexibility. However, they may not be ideal for companies that prioritise complete control over their workspace or exclusive use of facilities.

What is a Managed Office?

Managed offices strike a balance between traditional and serviced options. These spaces offer flexibility and service benefits while allowing businesses to influence the design, branding, and functionality of their workspace.

What’s Included?

Managed offices are customised to your needs, with a third-party provider overseeing the setup and ongoing management. Businesses can personalise elements like furniture, layout, and signage, without taking on the administrative burden. Lease terms typically range from one to five years, offering a mix of stability and flexibility.

Who Does This Suit?

This option is well-suited to established businesses that want a customised space without the hassle of managing it themselves. It’s less ideal for smaller or rapidly growing businesses that thrive on community interaction or need frequent changes to their office setup.
