Room Costs

Prices are based on the number of desk spaces and not the size. The rent quoted is per month and does not include phones or parking. Rents are not negotiable, however if a tenant wishes to occupy a number of units then a time limited concession may be made.

What is included in the price?

Included in the monthly charge is all furniture* and telephone handsets, which will be installed once a tenant has decided to take occupation.

Utilities, including electricity, rates, heating, cleaning of communal areas etc.

The only extra monthly charges will be for phones & parking.

*If you would prefer to bring in your furniture this can be discussed with the Trust Manager as well as the Office & Business Administrator. Please note that this must comply with Health & Safety regulations.

Moving in

Tenants will be given a notice explaining the implications of the lease. Following this, there is a 14 day “cooling off period” during which the tenant should make themselves aware of the lease and if necessary gain legal advice. At the end of this period an agreement will be drawn up and the tenant can move into the premises. Further details are available in the information sheet.

Telephone charges

There is a monthly service charge for telephones dependent on the number of desks in the room. This includes high speed Internet, VOIP phones and all local, national & mobile calls. This is not negotiable.

Opening hours of the centre

There is a receptionist between the hours of 9am and 5:00pm however there will be 24-hour access for tenants.

Security

All of the downstairs windows and any windows that open onto a flat roof will be secured with locks. The front door operates with a key fob system which allows 24 hour access. The individual rooms are all equipped with deadlocks and the tenants will be issued with the keys.

Meeting Rooms

There is a meeting room on the ground floor available for hire (subject to availability). There is also a training room with a digital whiteboard available. Larger rooms may be available please contact reception for information.

Telephones & Internet

Each room has phone sockets equal to the number of desks. Telephone handsets will be provided. There is High Speed Fibre Broadband to all rooms. There is no provision for a fax and you are not able to bring in your own VOIP system however it may be possible to port over your existing number. When moving out it may not be possible to take your number with you. The connection offers the ability to connect to other PC’s within the same room. This will allow for the sharing of data if required within a particular business unit. The external connection itself is a high speed dedicated Fibre connection.

This connection goes straight out to the internet. People will need to make provision for their own email accounts. When a person physically connects their PC to the structured cabling, it will initiate the configuration of this set-up automatically. Therefore the equipment is self configuring for the users convenience.

Tenancy

The tenant will be required to take a minimum lease of one year however upon six months there will be an option to activate a break clause. Subsequently the break clause will be actionable every month thereafter. After a year the tenant rents into a new lease.

The lease will be outside the security of tenure provisions of the 1954 Landlord and Tenant Act.

Deposit

Two months rent up front is required which will be held as a deposit.

Prior to moving in, tenants would need to pay their deposit plus one months rent.

Monthly rent

Rent is to be paid by direct debit or standing order on a monthly basis.

Visitors & Deliveries

Visitors must sign in and wait in the seating area adjacent to the reception to be collected.

The receptionist will contact businesses by telephone if a delivery arrives for them. If there is no response from the room, providing the parcel is not a bulky item, it can be signed for and held in reception.

Post

Mail is delivered to the business tenant's office and they are notified when parcels are delivered to the CPCT reception desk.
