FAQs

You’ll find offices, retail units, industrial units and warehouses, leisure and hospitality premises, and high street properties.

It depends on the location, size, type and condition of the property. Rent is usually quoted per sq ft per annum, and you may also pay business rates, service charge and, where applicable, VAT.

Sizes run from small offices of a few hundred sq ft to large industrial units of many thousands of sq ft.

That depends on the landlord. Some offer short, flexible lets, while others prefer longer leases, and break clauses can often be negotiated.

Once you’ve agreed terms and the legal work is complete, it can take a few weeks. Some units can be ready sooner.

It depends on the property’s current use class and what you plan to do there. Check with the local planning authority before you sign.
