Some people come to the conclusion that in the same way renting a flat is paying someone else’s mortgage, renting office space is an equivalent waste of finances. Whilst not entirely true, the comparison is a fair one and worthy of some attention as demand for offices to buy in Shoreditch increases.
Rents in Shoreditch have seen a dramatic rise in the last 5 years and at Shoreditch Office Space we have seen an increase in people looking for freehold office space in the same time period. It seems that the untamed prices of Shoreditch Landlords are forcing would be occupiers into seeking their own means of finding cost effective space, and although freehold office space in certainly harder come by, the benefits are endless.
So, whatever happened to the freehold office? Are they still readily available and how would an SME go about acquiring one? These are just some of the questions we get asked by clients trying to secure freehold space in Shoreditch. The truth of the matter is there are freehold spaces on the market, but they prove harder to find than their residential counterparts. Continuing to use the comparison between a flat and an office, a Zoopla or Google search could provide results in seconds for the former, but the latter requires a more in depth search with the knowledge and help of professionals.
