Finding the right office space is crucial for your business’s success. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. To help you navigate the decision-making process, we’ve compiled a list of essential questions to consider when renting office space. Read on to ensure you make an informed choice!

1. Is the location convenient for my team and clients?
When choosing office space, location plays a massive role in your team’s productivity and your clients’ accessibility. The ideal space should be easily reachable by public transport, and having nearby parking options is always a plus. Clavering House is located just a short walk from Newcastle’s major public transport hub at Central Station, ensuring a smooth commute for your team and visitors alike. We also offer on-site bookable visitor parking, which is a valuable perk for clients and partners who may be traveling to meet you.

2. What amenities are included?
A well-equipped office space is more than just a desk and chair. Consider what additional amenities you’ll need to keep your business running smoothly. Do you need meeting rooms for client presentations, training rooms for team workshops, or shared kitchen and breakout areas for informal meetings? Clavering House has all of this and more, with access to meeting and training rooms, reception services to greet your guests, and kitchen facilities where you can grab a coffee and take a break.

3. What are the hidden costs?
Many office rentals seem affordable at first glance, but hidden costs for things like utilities, cleaning, or internet can quickly add up. At Clavering House, we believe in transparency. Our fully serviced rental agreements include all essential services—from utilities and business rates to cleaning and high-speed broadband. This allows you to focus on what really matters: growing your business, without worrying about unexpected bills.

4. Is there flexibility in the terms?
In today’s fast-paced business environment, flexibility is more important than ever. Whether you’re a startup planning for rapid growth or an established company that needs to adjust to market changes, the ability to scale your office space up or down is key. At Clavering House, we offer flexible lease terms designed to evolve with your business. Our sister center, The Corner, also provides meeting rooms and offices within walking distance, adding to the options we can offer. Whether you need to expand your space to accommodate new team members or reduce your footprint to streamline operations, we’re here to help you adapt quickly.

5. What security measures are in place?
Security should never be an afterthought when choosing an office space. At Clavering House, we understand that your office needs to be a safe and secure environment. That’s why we have CCTV monitoring on site and a robust out-of-hours procedure to keep your office secure 24/7. Whether you're working late or leaving your equipment behind overnight, you can trust that we’ve got everything covered.
