Managed or Serviced Offices - what to look for
August 29th, 2008 | by James WelchToby Mason is again our guest blogger for today and he writes a great article about Managed offices.
When shopping around for your next office space in London, make it a point to get what you pay for. This means ensuring that you have:
• 24-hour secured full access
• Furnished, self-contained offices or suites
• Clean and efficient communal facilities (toilets, kitchens, parking)
• Building maintenance and cleaning included in your rental fee
• Free configuration for your telecom requirements and structured CAT5e cabling
• Availability of analogue and modem lines
• Utilities are included
• Building insurance
• Your own direct-dial number and a handset
The UK commercial property rental market is well-established and thriving, but the small and medium size business owner is often overlooked. They’re looking for rental arrangements with flexible office space to suit their purposes. This is one reason why the market for managed and serviced offices in Soho is “growing up.” The no-frills solution is what they want, although they’d like their office location to represent the true essence of their business. They’re looking for a good and prestigious office building minus those so-called “amenities” that they don’t use. If it boils down to one thing, they want a cost-efficient solution for something they could be proud of and show off to clients.
