According to figures in the latest report from a leading global property advisor, around 14 million square feet of office space in London is now lying unoccupied. This figure is at its highest since March 2007 and shows an increase in vacancies of 36.5% in the last 12 months alone. The commercial property market is directly tied in to the behaviour of the banking system; with banks like HBOS and the Royal Bank of Scotland now being controlled by the government, the likelihood is that even more unused office space will appear on the market as the Treasury implements its plans to streamline the systems of these major financial institutions.
As the banks seem to be setting the template for other businesses, the immediate future for the London office market from a Landlord’s point of view still looks bleak: many corporations are making redundancies and are either down-sizing on their premises, moving out of the capital or, in some of the more extreme cases, declaring themselves insolvent and shutting up shop entirely. For landlords of office space in London, this spells further bad news, but for tenants looking for office space this is fantastic news. With more and more office space in London coming onto the market and less being taken up, empty and unused premises are simply going to cost Landlord’s money that, in the present financial climate, they can ill afford to lose. Selling their properties is an unlikely option and, if they do so, it is likely to be at a considerable loss.
For tenants looking to rent office space in London, the news is far better. What was once a market firmly controlled by the landlords, is now a tenant’s market, with fantastic opportunities available across the board. In an attempt to court tenants, landlords are trying to ensure that their premises remain unused for as short a time as possible. This means that there has been a sharp drop in rents. According to Commercial Property News, London’s rental rates have already taken a cut of around 23% and the figure looks set to increase as the recession bites hard into the banking system and beyond. Coupled with low rents, landlords are also offering substantial rent-free periods. In the West End alone, incentives have tripled in length over the last 12 months.
This current economic situation is offering tenants the opportunity to relocate to more favourable London office space at a fraction of the costs that they would have been facing 6-12 months ago. With the decline in the strength of the pound, London is becoming increasingly popular with international businesses, as it no longer retains the title of the World’s Most Expensive Capital, but continues to offer some of the best business links and services across the globe. While these corporations are looking to exploit the downturn and move into top-end London office space for reduced rates, it also leaves the door open for smaller, home-grown businesses to take advantage of the stagnancy of the small and mid-scale markets. Whilst the credit crunch is spelling disaster for many institutions, prospective tenants are seeing a landscape of financial opportunity.

Introduction
For a large quantity of businesses around the south of England, using and renting a serviced office is a regular occurrence and the option most applicable to their business model. Often small or new businesses choose serviced office facilities cutting down on some of the initial business start-up costs and large companies also use serviced offices as regional spaces for their larger corporations, cutting down on the organisational effort needed to set up fully functional area specific offices. The average serviced office for example will come fully furnished, with a reception area to meet and greet clients and answer telephone calls, conference rooms, canteen or break areas and guest lounges also often come as standard. Serviced offices are a fully managed work space so all cleaning and security arrangements will be included in the price ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the workplace is to a high standard.
Serviced Office Options in London
If you are looking into getting a serviced office then you will find them available from around £150 per week, available on long or short term leases. These offices will provide you with everything you will need including secretarial and typing services, mail handling facilities and phone and internet access. Some of the large companies that deal in serviced offices include Regis and Servcorp as well as some of the bigger providers in London including Flexi Offices and Avanta. It is important to decide which area would be most suitable for you to rent offices, this will depend heavily on the type of business you run but you will find most areas have ample opportunities for renting.
City of London
If you want to be in the financial hub of London and one of the foremost financial districts in the world then an office in the ‘City of London’ area in the centre would suit you. This area provides the base for many of London’s leading financial institutions including the Bank of England and the famous ‘Swiss Re Tower’. If you are looking into getting a serviced office in the City of London area then there are many options available including quite a few options up towards the Barbican including ‘Bunhill Row’ and also many options around Moorgate and Liverpool Street Station which include options on ‘Chiswell Street’ and ‘Basinghall Street’. Prices for these serviced offices will start from around £600 per month, generally offices in the City of London area will be more expensive than other areas of London such as Holborn for example. Some of the local amenities include the Threadneedles and the Andaz London hotels that both provide quality corporate accommodation as well as having central restaurants nearby such as the Paternoster Chop House.
Holborn
Another important area of London is the area of Holborn over towards Tottenham Court Road and the West End, which is the home of London’s law firms. One of the major companies in this area is ‘Peters & Peters’ on Chancery Lane, a leading law firm specialising in fraud and regulatory litigation. Some of the options available to companies looking to rent serviced office space include ‘Southampton Place’ and ‘Russell Square’. These offices will range from £400 per month with flexible contracts available. Some of the local amenities that you will find useful in the Holborn area include The Waldorf Hilton and the Thistle Bloomsbury hotels as well as a collection of quality local restaurants such as the Terrace in the Fields in Lincoln’s Inn Fields, which serves modern British cuisine with a Caribbean flavour.
Victoria
Victoria is also an important area for London offices; this area houses the majority of the government institutions and many large blue chip companies. There are many serviced office options available in Victoria, including offices at ‘Grosvenor Crescent’ and ‘Grosvenor Gardens’ in Belgravia and ‘Stag Place’ which the tallest building in the area and situated in the middle of Victoria which also provides serviced offices. The majority of offices will come with easy to use local parking and good transport links from the local train station and costs will start in the region of £400 per month. Some of the local amenities include the Crowne Plaza and the Grosvenor Hotels as well as the Mango Tree restaurant in Belgravia and the Cinnamon Club restaurant over towards Westminster.
Wherever you are looking for a serviced office, there are many options available throughout London. With flexible premises and leases available, ranging from single person offices to entire floors and with these spaces easily configured to suit you, London will have office space available to satisfy your needs.

According to Reuters, the amount of office space in London lying empty has risen by ten percent since the beginning of 2009, meaning that the number of London offices that are immediately available to rent has risen to in excess of 10 million square feet. There are many advantages for a business looking to lease office space in London and there has never been a better time to find a real bargain.
The reason for this surplus of available London office space can be traced back to the beginnings of the current economic downturn. As banks and other major financial institutions saw the potential results of surfeit lending, they began to downscale and streamline their workforces. As it became no longer viable to have such small numbers of staff in such large spaces, they looked elsewhere for office property or have taken out short-term leases in favour of long-term contracts. In response, landlords decided to reduce the cost of office rental in London in a bid to prevent their properties from standing empty. Many even offered substantial deals in a bid to court custom, such as extended rent-free periods and capital contributions. The Investment Property Forum’s European Consensus Forecast has predicted that rents will continue to be driven down further, by as much as 26.6%. They also predict that there will not be much room for recovery until around 2011, when the beginnings of a recovery are expected.
While this is certainly bleak news for landlords and freeholders, the good news for business-owners is that the market for London office space has turned in favour of the tenant. Grade A office space (the industry’s term for the best of the best) has already fallen as low as £45.00 .0 per square foot, the lowest since 2004. These figures, paint a picture where business-owners will be able to undertake office rental in London for unprecedented prices, allowing them to take advantage of all the benefits of a London office space.
The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors has recently raised another factor that could force the prices of renting London office space down even further. It is their belief that the growth for office rental in London could fall to ’sub-inflation’ levels by the end of 2009. The reason behind this is that, with so many offices threatening to become unoccupied, there is also an excess of supply over demand. Once again, this looks set to work in the favour of the tenant. Add this to the fact that there are over 12 million square feet of office space being built in the capital and the future for landlords looks pretty grim.
To take advantage of the low prices and the prime locations, prospective tenants would be well advised to hire the services of a commercial property acquisition agent. Using their knowledge of the property market, they will have the best informed knowledge of the locations that are going to offer the best value for money and their negotiating power gives tenants the opportunity to push falling prices down even further.
While the recession may be spelling bad news for certain pockets of the London office rental market, it is offering opportunities for business-owners that, ultimately can only help to improve the state of the economy at a later date.

In 2012 one of the most important sporting events will be coming to London, the Olympic Games will obviously draw huge numbers of people, all interested in experiencing the event in person and soaking up the incredible atmosphere in the capital. One of the most important aspects of any stay in the capital is the organisation of your accommodation; obviously you need the best options to make your time as enjoyable as possible. Firstly it needs to be within a moderately easy commute of main sporting areas, the ability to easily get to different areas of London will be seriously hindered by the sheer quantity of people prepared to use the transport routes. It is also essential to be staying in a relatively central place to really experience the buzz surrounding the event, the majority of central London will be a hive of activity with a great deal going on including markets and street shows. There are a great deal of options available to anyone looking to stay in the capital during the Olympics in 2012 and the venues of the Olympics will be spread over a vast area, so there will be plenty of different places that you can usefully stay.
It will be very busy during the Olympics in the capital so it will have to be a well prepared stay in the capital, and often there are massive price hikes towards the event and you can end up paying vast sums more than you would have done if you booked and paid in advance.
A brief Guide to the Olympic Venues
The majority of the venues for the Olympics are in central areas surrounding the Thames, the main arena is the ‘Olympic Park Stratford’, close to Victoria Park. The venue is currently being built and will house the main Olympic stadium, the aquatics centre, the athlete’s village and the VeloPark (indoor cycle track). Other areas that will host some of the events include Wimbledon which is hosting the Tennis, Wembley which will be showing the football and the Lords cricket stadium will be staging the archery. Also the Millennium Dome (O2 arena) will be housing the gymnastics and possibly the quirkiest choice is the House Guards Parade, the home of the ‘changing of the guards’, which will play host to the beach volleyball tournament. There are a variety of venues in different areas of the country so you can enjoy the Olympics without necessarily travelling to London. Some of these venues include Old Trafford (Manchester), St James’ Park (Newcastle), Hampden Park (Glasgow) and the Millennium Stadium (Cardiff), which will stage the football tournament. There will also be other areas playing host to specialist events, including Eton Dorney (Berkshire) staging the rowing, canoeing and kayaking and also Weymouth will stage the sailing competition at the National Sailing Academy on the south coast of England.
Hotels in London
For people wishing to stay in some good areas during the Olympics, hotels provide some good options. If you are looking to stay near the Olympic Park in east London then hotels such as the ‘Holiday Inn Express Stratford’ should comfortably accommodate your needs, as it is a recently built hotel and well known for its quality. There are various other options available within easy commute of Olympic locations including quality hotels in the docklands and the Canary Wharf areas, some of the options in these areas include the ‘Hilton Docklands’, the ‘City Hotel’, the ‘Travelodge Docklands’ and the ‘Four Seasons Canary Wharf’. Hotels will certainly be expensive during the Olympics but will offer a useful, adaptable alternative then other forms of accommodation.
Rented Accommodation in London
A great way of experiencing the Olympics is to rent an apartment; many people prefer the relaxed nature of living in a designated home with comfortable living space compared to a hotel. It also affords you the adaptability to choose whether you want to go out for meals or enjoy an evening in or entertain friends, generally a more adaptable option. Often rented accommodation is cheaper than a comparable hotel as there is no service associated with the property and so lowers the overall cost of renting. There are some negatives though with the luxury of room service not being available at rented accommodation amongst other services associated with hotel accommodation.
Other Accommodation in London
There is a variety of cheaper accommodation available in London including various hostels, bed and breakfasts and guest houses available. These are situated throughout London and often in useful places to view and be involved in the Olympic Games; some of these include the ‘Piccadilly Backpackers Hotel’, the ‘Jesmond Dene Hotel’ and the ‘Belgravia Hotel’. There are various sites that can be used to find and book accommodation throughout London, some of these include ‘hostellondon.com’ and ‘bedandbreakfasts.co.uk’

There are many housing councils in the UK, There are a lot of times when one citizen wants to move to another province or another state. Whether he has a house or bungalow and is looking to move from council to housing association, council to council, he requires the assistance of a council.
When a person shifts or wants to shift from one province or state to another, he needs to take the help of the local council to have his home swapped and to find a new house or flat or whatever form of shelter he is looking at buying or renting.
There are council exchange associations where a number of people who are interested in a home swap get registered to avail of its benefits. These associations in return help its members by finding them suitable house swaps or exchanges.
A lot of these associations are private run and charge their customers. Most of these private run associations have a small website on which the members’ properties are advertised. Other members who are looking for a house may just find their required home swap on one of these websites.
There are a lot of government run associations which also host a lot of local tenant information. These are normally done for free and are found locally. They sometimes help you find homes in other provinces as they act on behalf of the customer. They fix a meeting ground where a customer can take a look at the various offers he gets for his new home.
There are a lot of people who are homeless in the UK. These local council’s help these citizens by finding them homes and providing them with shelter. All these councils are run by the government and operate mostly for free as community service. This is just a part of the councils as there are many other types of council which deal with various other aspects.
Many of these associations also help in finding jobs, foreign exchange, and in finding educational universities. In foreign countries they act on behalf of their local governments for citizens living in different countries.

For those who do not make use of a regular domestic cleaning service last-minute guests can lead to a number of problems, claims one home expert. Chantal Lamers, writing for the San Francisco Chronicle, explained there are some ways to quickly tidy-up but nothing beats a regular cleaning regime. Homeowners that have neglected the annual spring clean should choose their target areas and de-clutter with a speedy cleanup. Ms Lamers also suggested that it can be easy to fake a tidy-up, especially if guests are not too nosy by hiding away any unsightly mess. “Use the laundry basket to collect stray toys, shoes, mail, books and other strewn-about items. Stash the basket in a closet where guests can’t see it,” she added. Finally, she advises the use of a linen spray to help freshen up any curtains, rugs or upholstery. A recent article by the BBC suggested that many households regard the employment of a cleaner as a necessity – despite the current economic climate. Rather than relying on last-minute and hurried cleaning, homeowners could seek out the services of a cleaning agency that can provide regular domestic cleaning and spring cleaning services.

A spring clean will make your home sparkle and enhance the atmosphere in the house or flat. Whether it’s to help sell or rent your property, or for your own peace of mind, our spring cleaning service is guaranteed to leave your home looking brand new.

At our cleaning company we also provide a professional After-Builders spring clean, End of Tenancy cleaning service and one off cleaning services. Our professional cleaners at FK will clean every corner, behind sofas, behind cabinets and deep clean your kitchen and bathroom.

The new Saatchi Gallery just off the trendy Kings Road in Chelsea is already becoming a “must see” destination for visitors to London.

Admission is free to this amazing display of contemporary art.

The imposing location at the Duke of York HQ is just a few minutes walk down Kings Road from Sloane Square underground station and just 10 minutes walk from Victoria station.

Currently on display is a stunning exhibition of pictures, sculptures and installations by 24 of China’s leading artists – mainly based in Beijing. Many of these innovative works are stunning and thought provoking and even humorous.

Of note are some very realistic wax sculptures including one of an elderly angel lying prone with realistic fleshy “poultry-looking” wings which appear to be almost real. There are some witty paintings of Chairman Mao in unlikely locations including Venice (enjoying the sun with a bikini-clad companion), the Yalta Conference, the McCarthy hearings and riding in an open carriage with the Queen Mother.

In the basement is a hypnotic installation of life-size elderly state leaders, past and present, including Archbishop Makarios and Fidel Castro. These ancient characters are displayed in their declining years slumped in motorised wheelchairs. They move and collide randomly in the space providing a strangely mesmerising display.

Outside on the plaza is an open air café and on Saturdays in the plaza there is Chelsea market – a veritable bustling melee of stalls cooking and selling delicacies from many of the major cuisines of the world. The aroma from the wonderful food permeates the square where you can buy delicious produce such as French cheeses, juices, Middle Eastern, Thai and Spanish food, as well as organic meat, whole food wraps and good Olde English pies.

A trip to London is not complete without a Saturday stroll in this bustling area of London. You can shop in the eclectic collection of designer boutiques, enjoy good food and complete your day with a memorable visit to the excellent and unforgettable Saatchi Gallery.

Firstly you need to know:

Who can extend?

You can apply to extend your lease only if you are what is known as a “Qualifying Tenant” under the 1993 Act. You are a Qualifying Tenant if:

1.) You are the tenant of a residential flat.

2.) You are not a business tenant.

3.) The original term of your lease was longer than 21 years (or contains an explicit right for perpetual renewal); and

4.) You have been the owner of the lease for at least two years.

You have the right to claim a lease extension from your landlord if:

1.) Your immediate landlord is the freeholder of the property (if your immediate landlord is a leaseholder, the question of an extension will depend on the length of the term your landlord has left on his lease); and

2.) Your landlord is not a charitable housing trust.

(NOTE: There are other leases which may qualify for renewal. If you are unclear please seek professional legal advice.)

After meeting the qualification guidlines the next big question is:

What will it cost?

You will need to pay a premium for the lease extension. The price is the cumulative total of the following:

1.) The diminution of the value of the landlord’s interest in the flat.

2.) 50% of the marriage value of the existing lease term and the additional 90 year lease; and

3.) The compensation for loss in clause of other property owned by the landlord.

The date on which the tenant applies for a lease extension will be the date of valuation.

In addition to paying you own legal fees you will also be required to pay the landlord’s legal fees and the costs of the valuation.

Some other very popular questions that have been asked on lease hold are:

What happens if I want to buy a leasehold flat and I want to extend the lease?

As you need to have owned the lease for at least two years you will not be able to extend the lease after you have acquired it. Therefore, it is common practice for the seller of the leasehold to make an application to extend the lease and then assign the benefit of the application to you as purchaser.

What lease will I be granted?

You have the right to be granted a lease of 90 years (plus the present unexpired term) from the expiry date of your current lease. The rent will be a peppercorn (i.e. rent free). The lease will be broadly on the same terms as your existing lease but may be subject to amendment (depending on any modifications, exclusions and/or additions to the demised premises).

It is worth noting that the landlord will retain a redevelopment right at the end of the existing term of the lease. The landlord will have to pay the full value of the remaining 90 year lease to you and the termination is subject to a court application by the landlord.

What is the procedure?

As a Qualifying Tenant your solicitors will serve a preliminary notice to obtain information from your landlord. Your solicitors will then serve the notice of claim which will state:

1.) Details of the property.

2.) Details of the lease (showing that you are a Qualifying Tenant);

3.) Details of the premium offered; and

4.) A date for the landlord’s counter-notice.

The landlord should then respond and will probably require payment of a deposit equal to 10% of the premium offered.

The landlord will value the premises and serve a counter-notice which will state whether they object to the claim.

If the parties cannot come to an agreement they can apply for the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to determine the claim.
