Types of Office Space Available

Businesses can approach office space in Manchester in a few different ways, depending on how much flexibility and control they need.
  • Serviced office: A fully furnished, ready to use space with internet, reception and cleaning bundled into one monthly cost, on terms that can run from a single month upward, ideal for businesses that want flexibility without a long lock-in.
  • Managed office: Sits between the two extremes, a space built around your own layout and branding, while the day to day running of the building, maintenance and utilities, remains with the operator.
  • Leased office: The traditional route, typically three to five years or longer, where your business takes full responsibility for fitting out and running the space in exchange for complete control over how it looks and feels.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it typically take to find and move into an office in Manchester? For serviced space, it can be as quick as a few days once terms are agreed. Leased space takes longer, usually a few weeks to a couple of months, to allow for legal checks and any fit-out work. Can I upgrade or downsize my space later if my team grows or shrinks? Yes, this is one of the main advantages of serviced and managed space, most providers allow you to move within their portfolio as your needs change. Are meeting rooms and event space available separately, without taking a full office? Yes, many Manchester providers let you book meeting rooms or event space on a pay-as-you-go basis, even if you're not a tenant in the building. Is it worth using a broker like Complete Office Search instead of contacting buildings directly? It can save considerable time, since we already know availability and pricing across the market and can flag options you might not find searching on your own.
