Before you book viewings in City of London

  • Size your search to typical peak attendance — hybrid teams rarely need a desk per person.
  • Budget for the total cost: service charge, business rates, fit-out, fees and dilapidations on your current office, not just the advertised rent.
  • Allow time — moving commonly takes 12 months or more from search to move-in.

What to weigh up in City of London

  • Energy ratings on older stock and the cost of upgrading
  • Competition for the best-quality space
  • Total occupancy cost of new prime versus a re-geared existing lease

Is moving here the right call?

If you stay

Re-gearing can work well where your building has been upgraded and your landlord wants to protect occupancy against new supply.

If you change your space

Many City floor plates were designed for desk-dense working; reconfiguring for collaboration and hybrid attendance can avoid a move.

If you go

Moving to a newer, better-rated building can help with talent and sustainability targets — but prime fit-out and rent premiums need modelling.
