Occupy with no fees, no fuss, and few
formalities
How soon can I move in? Almost
immediately: just sign our simple two-page Licence Agreement, and
pay your first two weeks’ Licence Fee. There are no legal costs.
All we need otherwise is identification and proof of residence, along
with a returnable deposit against dilapidations, equivalent to four
weeks’ Licence Fees.
Are there any restrictions? Our class
of use is B1, so we we can accommodate most businesses, bar Retail -
the provison of goods or services direct to the visiting public - and
we cannot accept any additional motor repairers. Because we're
a community, we naturally can't accept any hazardous business
processes.
What does Licence Fee mean? With a more
formal lease, this would be the rent.
What do I have to pay, and when?
Licence Fees are payable strictly in advance, but to help your cash
flow, we invoice every fortnight - no need to find a large sum to meet
quarterly rent. Or if you prefer, we can invoice calendar monthly. Any
services you use – power, gas, copying, use
of meeting rooms, etc. – are billed each month.
What’s included in the Licence Fee?
Business Rates*, buildings insurance and maintenance, water
rates, parking, refuse disposal, and maintenance of all common
facilities such as toilets and
showers. We take care of fire precautions, drills, and so on, leaving
you to get on with your business.
*Subject to certain conditions, you may be eligible for
Small Business Rate Relief, which would reduce the overall cost.
What if I want to change units? This
happens quite regularly, especially as businesses expand. We will do
our best to accommodate your needs.
What if I want to leave? There is no
long term commitment. If you choose to vacate your unit, just two
weeks’ written notice is required to terminate your Licence to
Occupy. Your deposit is returned, less any cost of dilapidations or
outstanding invoices.
