Fit-out and space types
- Cat A
- The landlord's base fit-out: raised floors, suspended ceilings, lighting, air conditioning and finished toilets. An open floor with no kitchen, meeting rooms or furniture, so you fit out the rest.
- Cat A+
- Cat A with a ready-made fit-out from the landlord: kitchen, meeting rooms, furniture and data cabling, so you can move in and work from the first day. Usually a higher rent and little or no fit-out cost.
- Cat B
- The fit-out to your own design, on top of Cat A: partitions, meeting rooms, kitchen, furniture, IT and your brand. Usually paid for by the company, sometimes with a contribution from the landlord.
- What Grade A and Grade B mean
- Grade A is new or fully refurbished space from about the last 10 years, built to the BCO specification. Grade B is older space whose services work but are dated.
- How leased, serviced and managed space differ
- A lease runs 5 to 10 years and you fit out and run the space. Serviced space is desks in an operator's shared office, on a short term. Managed space is a private floor an operator fits out and runs for one monthly fee, on 1 to 5 years.
- How long a move takes
- A move into leased space takes 9 to 12 months from the first search to moving in. Start 18 to 24 months before your lease ends, so you can still compare staying with going.
Start 18 to 24 months before your lease ends.
A move into leased space takes 9 to 12 months, and a renewal is negotiated best while moving is still possible. If your lease ends within 24 months, the work starts now.
