Lease Expiry

Know your options before your lease expires

A lease expiry gives you a clear decision point. You can stay, renegotiate, relocate or move into a different office model entirely.

We help you understand the market early, compare the real cost of each route and make a decision with proper leverage — not just because the renewal deadline is getting close.

Common challenges before a lease expiry

01

Leaving the decision too late

By the time a renewal proposal lands, the best alternative options may already be gone. Starting early gives you more leverage and more room to compare.

02

Renewing without testing the market

Staying can be the right decision, but it should be tested against live alternatives. Without competition, it is hard to know whether the terms are actually strong.

03

Comparing costs incorrectly

Rent is only part of the picture. Service charge, rates, fit-out, dilapidations, rent-free periods and flexibility all affect the real cost of staying or moving.

04

The office no longer fits

Your current office may have worked when you signed the lease, but team size, working patterns and meeting room demand often change before the term ends.

How we solve it

Understand your current position
We review your expiry date, break options, current costs, space usage and what has changed since you first took the office.
Test the market
We compare relevant serviced, managed and leasehold options so you can see what else is available before entering renewal discussions.
Compare the real cost
We look beyond headline rent and compare the full cost of each route, including fit-out, service charge, rates, incentives and flexibility.
Create leverage
If staying is the right answer, live alternatives give you a stronger negotiating position. If moving is better, you already have the evidence to support it.

When should you start reviewing options?

The earlier you start, the more routes you can properly compare. A lease expiry does not mean you have to move, but it does give you a deadline — and the strongest decisions are usually made before that deadline becomes urgent.

12+ MONTHS OUT

The full market is available. You can assess whether to stay, renegotiate, relocate or consider managed and serviced options without time pressure.

6–12 MONTHS OUT

Still a strong window for most options. You can compare renewal terms, fitted offices, managed space and serviced options while retaining enough time for negotiation and legal work.

< 6 MONTHS OUT

The search becomes more focused. Serviced and managed offices are usually easier to deliver, while lease options need to be ready, fitted or relatively straightforward.

Starting early does not mean committing early. It gives you more choice, better negotiating leverage and a clearer fallback if renewal terms are not attractive.

What we compare

Serviced

Fast, flexible and ready to use.

Best when your lease expiry is close, your future headcount is uncertain or you need a short-term bridge while deciding what comes next.

Managed

A private office without the full lease burden.

Best when you want your own branded space after lease expiry, but prefer a simpler monthly cost and less operational responsibility.

Lease

More control for longer-term plans.

Best when you have a clearer view of your future space needs and want to negotiate a longer-term solution with greater control over layout, branding and value.
