In short: Start by deciding between a serviced office (flexible, all-inclusive, short commitment) and a conventional lease (more control, lower cost per desk for larger teams, but fit-out and longer terms). Size your space around real attendance in a hybrid week, then compare total occupancy costs: rent, business rates, service charge and utilities. In negotiations, focus on rent-free periods, break clauses and dilapidations. Fraser Bond helps businesses search, compare and negotiate offices across London.
