Great place

Great place, clean. Quite location. Will recommend to anyone.

This place is very clean, well maintained and beautifully decorated in the communal areas. Overall a very pleasant working environment.

I moved in in September 2019. Early signs of problems to come was the fact te cleaners were hoovering outside of our office during working hours. As we were a phone based business this caused regular and continual problems. Bins in the office was not changed and we ended up changing them ourselves which was not in the contract. Moved to a larger office at the beginning of 2020 and was told that we had to sign a new 12 month contract – rather than incorporate it into our existing 12 month agreement, but reassured us that if we wanted to leave early we could do as soon as they found a replacement – what they should have said was as soon as they were at 100 percent tenancy they’d show people around our offices.

Covid struck and then when we returned to the offices, they got rid of the cleaners saying that they were uncomfortable going into the offices. So we were then emptying bins and hoovering and cleaning our office daily. No financial discount was given for this change. Due everyone emptying their own bins, they deposited these in the communal kitchen bin. Snotty emails were then sent by the building Manager that rodents were found in the kitchen and it was unacceptable for us to put the rubbish in the communal bins and told to take it to the skips outside. I politely suggested that the overflowing bins was a result of the lack of office cleaners and perhaps Tony (the building manager) could just buy an extra bin to put in the kitchen which would resolve the issue. This suggestion was quickly disregarded as all suggestions subsequently were with other issues that arose. It was his way and no other option would ever be consider- and of course it was never their fault!

By the time it came to leaving the building once the contract had expired, I already knew that the building manager was going to try and add in extra costs – and he didn’t let me down. Professional carpet cleaning (the carpets we awful when we moved in) and we had been hoovering our own carpets for months, cleaning costs (apparently the savings he’d made wasn’t enough for the previous few months), it took them 1 week repaint the walls which was only painted the year before, and so they charged an additional 7 days rent to cover the missing rent (the building is practically empty by this point so no rent would have been lost as they could even fill the empty offices). Finally, I tired to reason with the building manager and he kept emailing back to say he’s trying to be amicable – he wasn’t being amicable – he wanted us to agree to all his outrageous extra costs and if I disagreed then I wasn’t being amicable, but if he didn’t agree with my points – then yet again I wasn’t being amicable.

If you want a cheap office then by all means consider letting offices here. BUT be aware that in my view its unlikely to be an enjoyable experience, there will be extra costs coming off your deposit that you wont agree to (and only by going to court will get back in my view). There’s so many nice offices at reasonable costs right now, that there should be no reason for this building to be a consideration.

Great! Treatment! proffessional staff lovely space. Will be booking more treatments there. Thank you.
