Agency
Flexible & Serviced Offices. Lower occupational risk.
RICS-chartered surveyors. UK-wide coverage.
CPRA provides independent agency advice focused on flexible offices, serviced offices, and managed workspace solutions across the UK.
We act for occupiers seeking a cost-effective alternative to traditional leased offices, helping clients reduce risk, avoid long-term commitments, and achieve immediate savings, with no upfront fees.
A smarter alternative to traditional offices
For many businesses, traditional leases are no longer the most efficient solution.
Long commitments, dilapidations risk, void costs, and under-utilised space can materially increase occupational expense. Flexible and serviced offices can offer:
- Shorter commitments
- All-inclusive costs
- Faster occupation
- Reduced capital exposure
Our role is to assess whether flexible workspace is the right commercial solution, not simply to place desks and then help you to complete your search.
What we do
Flexible & serviced office search
We source and negotiate workspace solutions including:
- Serviced offices
- Managed offices
- Flexible private offices
- Desk-based and hybrid solutions
We act across the UK and globally advising on solutions ranging from individual desks to multi-suite requirements.
Market comparison & cost analysis
We compare flexible workspace options against:
- Traditional leasing costs
- Fit-out and dilapidations exposure
- Business rates and service charge liabilities
This allows clients to make informed, evidence-led decisions based on total occupational cost, not headline rent alone.
Negotiation & commercial advice
We negotiate the best possible terms directly with operators, including:
- Pricing and incentives
- Contract length and break flexibility
- Expansion and contraction rights
Our advice is focused on cost certainty, flexibility, and risk management.
How we work
Our approach mirrors our wider advisory services.
- Requirements review – We assess space, location, and budget needs
- Market search – We identify suitable flexible workspace options
- Cost comparison – We analyse total occupational cost versus alternatives
- Negotiation & placement – We secure the most commercially appropriate solution
We act independently and in the client’s best interests throughout.
Fees
Our flexible office agency service is provided on a no upfront fee basis. In most cases, our fees are paid by the workspace provider, meaning:
- No cost to the client
- No impact on negotiated pricing
- Full transparency on how we are remunerated
