We are pleased to announce the publication of the Oxford Office Space Directory.

2025 saw Oxford’s office leasing take-up decrease by 24 per cent on the previous year and drop 22 per cent below the five-year average.

However, demand for best-in-class space remained resilient, as demonstrated by Mishcon de Reya’s deal at The Red Hall, Oxford North.

Oxford has established itself as a global science cluster and posted a record year of lab space take-up, boosted by the Ellison Institute of Technology’s acquisition of the western side of The Oxford Science Park.

The approval of The Crown Estate’s plans, in March, to transform the former Debenhams store on Magdalen Street in the city centre into a 100,000 square foot science and technology hub will further bolster its positioning.

Whilst occupiers continue to fly to quality, in Q1 2026, Oxford had a supply of just 29,000 square feet of brand-new office space, with schemes in the development pipeline set to complete in 2027.

Our Oxford Flexible Office and Workspace Providers Directory profiles the 20 office providers and workspace operators offering immediately available flexible business space solutions in city centre and out-of-town locations, including Aristotle Lane, Botley Road, Milton Park, New Road, Oxford Business Park, Oxford Science Park, St Aldates, and Woodstock Road.

The flex space brands within the directory offer plug-and-play flexible workspace solutions in 30 buildings in Oxford, all of which are featured.

We are pleased to announce that the Watford Office Space Directory has been published.

The Clarendon Works is the most recently completed speculative office development in Watford, offering brand new BREEAM ‘Excellent’ Grade A office space.

Following high-profile deals with multinational lottery operator Allwyn, retirement, insurance, and wealth management provider Canada Life, and Japanese multinational electronics and printer manufacturer Epson, the building is almost fully let, leaving minimal brand-new office space available to rent in the Hertfordshire town.

With no other brand-new office space options available, headline rents in Watford increased by 2 per cent to £45.00 per square foot in 2025.

Our Watford Flexible Office and Workspace Providers Directory profiles the 12 office providers and workspace operators offering immediately available flexible alternatives to office space rented on conventional terms, many of which are in highly sought-after Grade A office buildings.

These alternatives include private serviced offices, fitted managed offices and coworking space in locations including Clarendon Road, Croxley Business Park, High Street, George Street, Otterspool Way, Station Road, The Clarendon Works (WRX), and Watford Gap Services.

The flex space brands within the directory offer flexible workspace solutions in 14 buildings in Watford, all of which are featured.

These agile alternatives to leased space include private serviced offices, managed office space, fitted offices, and coworking spaces, available in locations including Cromar Way, Duke Street, Springfield Road, and Victoria Road.

We are delighted to publish the Bolton Office Space Directory as the town stands on the brink of a “once in a lifetime” transformation.

Bolton Council announced it had chosen developers MEPC to redevelop the 4-acre site of the Crompton Place Shopping Centre, which it purchased in 2018 for £14.8 million.

The £200 million scheme will deliver up to 340 homes, a 110-room hotel, 5,000 square feet of ground-floor leisure space, and 80,000 square feet of brand-new office space when it completes. Starting early 2026, site clearing is anticipated to take approximately 1 year.

In the meantime, the availability of brand-new office space in Bolton is low.

We therefore compiled the Bolton Flexible Office and Workspace Providers Directory to profile the seven office providers and workspace operators offering immediately available flexible business space solutions in locations including Bark Street, Calvin Street, Chorley New Road, Deakins Business Park, Silverwell Street and Spa Road.

The flex space brands within the directory offer ready-to-go workspace solutions in eight buildings in Bolton, all of which are featured.

We are pleased to publish the Chester Office Space Directory as the city centre’s retail market welcomes a new iconic tenant.

Browns of Chester, the upscale department store established in 1780 and historically dubbed the ‘Harrods of the North’, closed in May 2021 under the Debenhams group's stewardship.

However, the Grade I listed building on Eastgate Street has welcomed a new tenant in Q1 2026 – Harrods.

Our Chester Flexible Office and Workspace Providers Directory profiles the six office providers and workspace operators offering flexible business space solutions in locations including Chester Business Park, Handbridge, Hough Green, Saltney, Sealand Road, and Sovereign Way.

The flex space brands within the directory offer flexible workspace solutions in seven buildings in Chester, all of which are featured.

The Edinburgh Office Space Directory has been published.

Edinburgh’s 2025 full-year take-up by way of office lettings was 492,829 square feet, which was below its 10-year average, and its Q3 take-up figure was 53 per cent below its 10-year average.

The relatively slow year was partly due to a lack of high-quality new space. This was somewhat confirmed by the fact that there were over 250,000 square feet of lease extensions and regears in 2025, highlighting pent-up activity.

At the end of 2025, the Grade A vacancy rate stood at 0.8 per cent, among the lowest of the Big Nine UK cities, and the stifled development pipeline reflected the same pressures that developers across the UK and globally are currently facing.

The Edinburgh Flexible Office and Workspace Providers Directory profiles the 26 office providers and flexible workspace operators offering immediately available business space options, including serviced private offices, self-contained managed office suites, floors and buildings, fully fitted offices, and coworking space in the Scottish Capital.

The flexible alternatives to traditionally leased offices are available across 37 buildings in Edinburgh, including Albany Street, Exchange Place, Fountainbridge, George Street, Leith, Lochrin Square, Princes Street, Rutland Square, St Andrew Square, and Quartermile, many of which are Grade A office buildings.

The Newcastle Office Space Directory has gone live.

The Newcastle Upon Tyne Flexible Office and Workspace Providers Directory profiles 16 office providers and flexible workspace operators offering flexible, all-inclusive alternatives to traditional leasehold office space, including serviced private offices, self-contained managed office suites, floors and buildings, fully fitted offices, and coworking space in the Northeast city.

Newcastle saw a record first half to 2025, outperforming its H1 office lettings take-up average by 37 per cent. It was also the strongest first half of the year since 2019, and the figures included large pre-lets, including HMRC’s and others at Pilgrim Place.

As with other major cities, the flight to quality has led to competition for best-in-class office space, and the activity in the first half of 2025 left the city with a Grade A vacancy rate of just 0.7 per cent, ranking it among the lowest of all the Big 9 UK regional cities.

We compiled the directory to highlight the office providers and workspace operators offering immediately available, ready-to-go business space across 22 buildings in Newcastle, including Market Street, Pilgrim Street, Quayside, Quorum Business Park, and St James Gate, many of which are Grade A office buildings.

The Belfast Office Space Directory has been published.

The Belfast Flexible Office and Workspace Providers Directory profiles the 15 office providers and flexible workspace operators offering agile alternatives to traditionally leased office space, including private serviced offices, self-contained managed office suites and floors, fully fitted offices and coworking space in the capital city of Northern Ireland.

As with other major cities globally, there is a continued ‘flight to quality’ by occupiers seeking best-in-class space with excellent environmental, social and governance (ESG) credentials.

With a limited development pipeline, headline leasehold rents are expected to be pushed from £25.50 per square foot per annum to £30 per square foot by early 2027. However, this projected upward tracking may increase the viability of other schemes and improve the pipeline.

In the near term, the 15 office providers and workspace operators offer immediately available, plug-and-play business space solutions across 21 buildings across Belfast, many of which are Grade A, and all are featured in the directory.

The Cambridge Office Space Directory has been published...

The Cambridge Flexible Office and Workspace Providers Directory profiles the 11 office providers and flexible workspace operators offering agile business space solutions across the city centre and out-of-town locations of the Cambridge market.

The Cambridge office market made several headlines in 2025. It recorded its best H1 in terms of take-up by way of office lettings since 2019, and its Q1 to Q3 take-up was over 20 per cent above its five-year average.

Breaking ground for Botanic Place also marked the start of the largest speculative office development in the Southeast in 2025. This will deliver over 300,000 square feet of office space upon completion in 2028.

However, it is predicted that city centre headline rents will have doubled over the course of a decade by 2027 due to a shortage of immediately available prime Grade A office space.

Our Cambridge Flexible Office and Workspace Providers Directory profiles office providers and workspace operators offering ready-to-go, plug-and-play workspace solutions such as private serviced offices, self-contained managed office suites, fully fitted offices, and coworking space across 18 buildings in Cambridge, in the city centre and out-of-town business parks.

The Bristol Office Space Directory has been published, we are pleased to announce.

In Q3 2025, the Bristol office market saw its largest letting since 2019, in the acquisition of circa 90,000 square feet at the Welcome Building by Hargreaves Lansdown.

In the same quarter, Mott MacDonald signed a lease for circa 22,000 square feet at the One Hundred building on Victoria Street.

Best-in-class leased office space vacancy rates in Bristol, following these, and other leasehold deals dropped to below 3 per cent; however, the 29 office providers and flexible workspace operators within the Bristol Flexible Office and Workspace Providers Directory offer immediately available flexible alternatives to leasehold space in 50 properties, some of which are Grade A buildings.

Flex space solutions such as private serviced offices, self-contained managed office suites, fully fitted offices and coworking spaces are available in locations across the city, including Aztec West, Brabazon, Canon’s Marsh, Hotwells, Stokes Croft, St Paul’s, Temple Meads and Temple Quay, all of which are featured in the directory.

The West End Office Space Directory has been published.

Our West End Flexible Office and Workspace Providers Directory profiles 63 office providers, workspace operators, and landlords offering flexible business space solutions across the West End's various districts.

London’s West End is home to some of the most sought-after and consequently most expensive commercial real estate in the world.

Conventionally leased office space in the West End often sets records as the most expensive of the high-profile international business districts.

In Q3, the average West End prime office rent was £168.58 per square foot – an increase of 11 per cent on the previous year. This was pushed by a deal in which £220.00 per square foot was achieved earlier in the year.

It was also noted that best-in-class offices accounted for 61 per cent of the space acquired and that fitted office space accounted for one-third of all lettings across London in the Q1 to Q3 period.

Indicating a continued flight to quality and a growing appetite for flexible space.

Due to the growing demand for best-in-class space, it is anticipated that average prime rental will grow by approximately 4 per cent per annum over the next five years.

The flex space companies in the directory offer flexible office and workspace solutions, including private serviced offices, managed offices, fitted offices, and coworking space, across 290 properties in the West End, many of which offer best-in-class occupier amenities such as end-of-journey facilities.

The Liverpool Office Space Directory has been published.

The Liverpool Flexible Office and Workspace Providers Directory profiles the 15 office providers, workspace operators and landlords offering agile, ready-to-go business space solutions across the Merseyside city.

Liverpool recently enjoyed its best quarter since 2022 in terms of take-up through conventional office leasing deals.

However, this left the city with the lowest level of office stock of all the regional cities in the UK, with minimal new space in the development pipeline due to complete soon.

The flex space operators within the directory offer immediately available, plug-and-play office space solutions in 27 buildings in Liverpool, all of which are featured.

We are delighted to announce the publication of the Leeds Office Space Directory!

In November, it was reported that Leeds’ 2025 Q1–Q3 take-up of 482,300 square feet was 12 per cent higher than its five-year average.

It was also reported that during Q1 to Q3, 57 per cent of office lettings deals were for Grade A and prime office space, reflecting the continued demand for best-in-class space.

However, in Q3, the prime vacancy rate sat at just 1.6 per cent, and the Grade A vacancy rate was 2.0 per cent.

It is predicted that supply of high quality office space will continue to be pressured as demand increases from a range of sectors, including professional services, the public sector and banking and finance, notably since the Bank of England announced in 2024 that it was committing to an expanded and permanent presence in Leeds and expected to have at least 500 staff based in the city by 2027.

Our Leeds Flexible Office and Workspace Providers Directory profiles the 25 office providers, workspace operators, and landlords that offer high-quality, immediately available flexible business space solutions in areas such as City Square, Park Square, The Headrow, Wellington Street, and Whitehall Riverside.

The flex space brands within the directory offer flexible workspace solutions in 46 buildings in Leeds, all of which are featured.
