Everything you ever need to know about offices... ever

The new year has begun, and for most businesses, January is a natural reset. All of December's 'let's pick it up in the new year' conversations have come back around, budgets are being approved, growth plans are being set, and operational decisions move from intention into action. If you're considering relocating your London office this year, all of this plays a part in why January happens to be one of the smartest times to start planning.

As we close out 2025, we want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey this year.

At Kontor, we partner with ambitious businesses to create spaces that accelerate growth. From early-stage startups to established scale-ups, our focus is on understanding each client’s unique journey; aligning property decisions with culture, strategy, and long-term goals.

It's early November, and your office isn't working anymore. Maybe your team has outgrown the space, or hybrid working has left you paying for desks no one uses. You've been thinking about moving, but there's a voice in your head saying, "Let's wait until January. Fresh start, new year, all that."

Imagine a workspace that combines the focus and prestige of a private office, with the energy and versatility of a dynamic coworking environment. This isn’t just flexibility, it’s a strategic choice. With the right setup, you get a dedicated sanctuary for concentrated work, alongside vibrant spaces that spark collaboration, networking, and innovation.

London is one of the most competitive office markets in the world. For tenants, that means endless choice, hidden pitfalls, and constant pressure to make the right move fast. Whether you’re a start-up looking for flexibility or a global business negotiating a long-term lease, knowing how the process really works gives you the edge.

Six months into 2025 and the momentum is running. Kontor’s two specialist Landlord and Tenant teams are united in shaping workspace strategies that drive real business outcomes for their clients.

London's office market has never stood still, but 2026 marks a pivotal moment; the next business rates revaluation. A clearer picture is emerging of how the capital's commercial landscape has evolved, and where opportunities lie for those looking to reduce their liability.

Moving office represents one of the most significant decisions your business will face. When executed thoughtfully, an office relocation can unlock operational efficiency, energise team engagement, and signal an exciting new chapter of growth. Yet it also demands considerable time, investment, and bulletproof commercial reasoning.
