HUGE DEMAND FOR OFFICE SPACE IN LONDON LEADS TO RENT INCREASES

Companies in London are finding that their office rental costs have significantly increased in the first quarter of this year as demand has increased by 6%.

An increase in confidence in the market as well as a lack of new developments has meant that there is now a shortage of grade A office space in the city, which has lead to a jump in rental costs. In the City, rents have increased by 17.5% whereas rents are up 19% in the West End. Bloomsbury and Holburn have seen rental costs increase by 14%, whereas the Docklands area has seen a more modest increase of 4%.

Rents are expected to continue to increase throughout the year and experts believe that landlords will be reducing lease incentives to encourage more demand.

Official Space can help you find the perfect office for your needs. They have serviced offices for rent in all of the UK’s prime locations including central London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Glasgow. Whether you’re looking for a small office for just a few employees or a large base for a growing company, they have the office to meet your requirements in the ideal location.

Institute of Directors Expands its IoD Office Solutions at 116 Pall Mall

The fully managed office solutions service at the most prestigious business address in London has proved so popular that it is now undergoing an expansion programme due to increased demand.

London, UK, February 17, 2011 — The Institute of Directors’ fully managed office solutions service — IoD Office Solutions — has been so successful since its launch in April last year, that it is expanding its services throughout 2011. By the end of the year, many more companies will be able to avail themselves of Address and Mail Forwarding, Virtual Office, Hot Desk Office or Platinum Office from the IoD’s prestigious Pall Mall SW1 address, all at highly competitive rates and with no set up costs or long term commitments.

All the new offices will be fully equipped with award-winning, ergonomically designed furniture including the Resolve Canopy which helps define space, modulate privacy and provide acoustic benefits by reducing noise distractions, and Aeron chairs with their innovative posture-fit design. The telephone switchboard has also just been updated to the most advanced system available.

“In today’s tough economic climate, managed offices are an attractive solution to businesses in that they provide flexible working and are a great way to reduce costs and avoid long term financial commitments,” says Andrew Main Wilson, IoD Chief Operating Officer. “I think the success of IoD Office Solutions which has prompted the current expansion is not only down to the office’s first class facilities but also because we treat all clients like VIPs and ensure they are provided with absolutely everything they need.”

IoD Office Services is an ideal solution for those who often travel and so have no need for conventional office space; for those who are looking to test the market before committing to permanent office premises; or those who wish to expand from a professional city centre location.
