This changes how much space you'll typically need per person.
Leasehold

Serviced / managed
Ready-to-go space with shared kitchens, bathrooms and reception, so more efficient per person.

Mostly desks, lean on breakout space.

Plenty of meeting and social space to bring people together.

Questions, answered
As a rule of thumb, leasehold offices work on roughly 80–125 sq ft per person depending on how much meeting and breakout space you want. Serviced and managed space is more efficient, at around 55–90 sq ft per person, because kitchens, bathrooms and reception are shared. This calculator applies the right figure based on your answers.
Leasehold is your own self-contained floor or suite, fitted out to your needs and taken on a lease. Serviced (or managed) space is ready-to-go, with shared amenities and a single monthly fee, so it is quicker to move into and more flexible, but typically smaller per head.
It's a strong starting point, and the same approach we use at the outset of a search. The final figure depends on the specific building's efficiency and layout, which is exactly what our advisors refine with you when we send your tailored breakdown.
Our office search and advice are free to occupiers. We only ever act for tenants, never landlords, so our advice is always on your side.
