What Are Leasehold Offices?
A leasehold office is a long-term commercial space that your business leases directly from the landlord, usually for 3 to 15 years.
Key benefits include:
Full control over workspace layout, design, and functionality
Lower per-desk costs over time for growing teams
Long-term consistency for strategic and operational planning
The ability to scale or adapt within the area as your needs evolve
Leasehold offices are ideal for organisations that require a secure and adaptable base in one of London’s most influential districts.

Missing planning compliance requirements in conservation areas
Tupelo’s tenant-only advisory model ensures every lease is negotiated to meet your business objectives, with no surprises later.

“There was a lot of information we hadn't considered which was given to us in a clear way ”
Tupelo were incredibly knowledgeable and insightful in our property search. The diversity of the office spaces (lease/ flexi/ serviced etc) has been incredibly useful and allowed us gain valuable insight to the market and will be help us revise the specification and start from a much stronger position when we resume our search later this year. There was a lot of information we hadn't considered which was given to us in a clear way and helped us identify what it is we need.
