Temporary office space in Leeds, with no hidden costs

For over 20 years, Leigh House has given new, growing and downsizing businesses a simple, flexible place to work: a private, fully furnished serviced office in a Grade II listed building in Pudsey, Leeds, set in over an acre of gardens and grounds.

We help start-ups, sole traders, professional firms, hybrid teams and companies opening a Leeds satellite office. You get one licence agreement, one all-inclusive price and an office that is ready to work in. Terms run from 3 to 24 months, so you can start small, grow, or scale back without being tied to a traditional lease.

We also offer virtual offices and meeting and conference room hire if you need less than a full office.

Who our offices are right for

Our offices suit anyone from a one-person business up to a team of 8 to 10. Our tenants are typically:

• New start-ups who want a professional base without a long commitment
• Growing businesses that need a springboard and room to expand
• Remote and hybrid teams who want a dependable place to meet and work
• Companies opening a Leeds satellite office without the cost and delay of a fit-out
• Professional practices such as counsellors and psychotherapists, who value privacy, a warm reception and parking for clients
• Businesses downsizing from larger, costlier premises

We are not the right fit for shops or retail businesses that need a street-facing, high-footfall location. If that's you, we'd rather tell you now than waste your time.

What's included and what it costs

Our one-person offices start from £335 per month on a 24-month term, paid annually in advance, and the price is all inclusive. We are upfront from the outset, so there are no surprises after you move in.

Every office comes with:

• Your own private, fully furnished office, ready to work in
• Broadband connected and set up from day one
• Free on-site car parking in floodlit grounds
• A staffed reception, so visitors are greeted and the building stays secure
• Secure, keyless entry using your mobile phone
• A shared kitchen and mess room to step away from your desk

Prices vary with the length of term and the size of office, and they are negotiable once you've seen the space and chosen the office that suits you. If 24 months is too long, you can sign for anywhere from 3 to 24 months, and the price is pro-rated to the term. Depending on your agreement, you can pay monthly, quarterly or annually.

We may not be the cheapest option in the area, and for some businesses we'll cost more. What you get in return is a clear, honest price.

How it works: from enquiry to your first day

You can be working in your own office within a few days of signing. Here is how it goes:

1. Get in touch. Call or email us and tell us what you need: how many people, your budget and how long you want to stay.
2. View the space. We show you the available offices that match your requirements, and you choose the one that feels right.
3. Receive our proposal. We put the terms in writing, with the price, the length of term and how you'd like to pay.
4. Sign one licence agreement. There is a single, straightforward licence agreement rather than a complicated lease.
5. Pay your deposit and licence fee in advance. Once these are received, we prepare your office.
6. Move in. Your office is furnished and your broadband is connected. Your phone becomes your key, so there are no keys to lose.

Why businesses choose Leigh House over a city centre office

We make everything simple, and we are honest about the price from the start.

• One agreement, one payment. There is one licence agreement and one payment, whether you pay monthly, quarterly or annually.
• No hidden costs. The price we quote is the price you pay.
• Free on-site parking. In a city centre, parking is a cost you have to plan and pay for. Here it's free, and the grounds are floodlit.
• A setting no glass-box office can match. Your office is in a Grade II listed building, in over an acre of gardens and grounds that tenants are welcome to wander through, with a south-facing view over the extensive gardens.
• Easy to reach. Road, rail, bus and air links are close by, and bus stops are around a two-minute walk away.
• Close to everyday amenities. M&S and Asda at Owlcotes Shopping Centre are nearby, and several restaurants are open at lunchtime as well as in the evening.
• A healthier working day. We're open Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and we're closed at weekends and on bank holidays. We think work-life balance and mental health matter, and that a ten-hour working day is long enough.
• A building run by people who care. Our reception is staffed, and we keep an eye on who comes and goes during the day to protect the building and everyone in it.

What our tenants say, and where they go next

Some of our tenants have worked here for over ten years. Others have been with us a few months. Several have grown within the building and then outgrown it, moving on to larger premises, which is exactly what a springboard office is for.

• John Sisk & Son Ltd rented a temporary office with us for nine months. James Tomlinson described the space as clean, modern and well maintained, with fast internet and comfortable workstations, and said our team was responsive and professional from setup onwards.
• Geodis FF United Kingdom Ltd. Joann Fitzpatrick praised the listed building and mature grounds, plenty of parking for tenants and visitors, nearby shops and restaurants, and easy journeys by bus or train.
• Ashleigh Gardner Counselling & Psychotherapy. Ashleigh values a reception where clients are welcomed warmly, along with privacy and on-site parking.
• Joanne Higgins Psychotherapy Services. Joanne appreciates the staffed reception, the waiting area and the discreet, peaceful setting with good transport links.
• Meeting room guests such as Jan McGuinness and Lynda Mayall have praised the rooms and said our team was excellent to deal with.

Questions we're always asked

Is the price really all inclusive?

Yes. We are upfront from the outset, and we quote one clear price so there are no surprises after you move in.

Can I access the building at any time?

No. We're open Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and closed at weekends and on bank holidays. That is deliberate: we believe a healthy work-life balance matters, and that an 8am to 6pm day is long enough.

Is there parking?

Yes. Parking is free and on site, for tenants and their visitors. The grounds are fully floodlit.

How long do I have to commit for?

You can sign for anywhere from 3 to 24 months. The price is pro-rated according to the term, so you only commit for as long as you need.

How quickly can I move in?

Once you've signed your licence agreement and paid your deposit and licence fee in advance, we prepare your office, which can take just a few days.

Is the building secure?

Yes. Entry is controlled and works through your mobile phone, and our reception is staffed during opening hours. We monitor people coming and going during the day.

What if I need only part of the service?

We also offer virtual offices and meeting and conference room hire, so you can choose the level that fits your business.

Is Leigh House suitable for a shop or retail business?

No. We're a professional, office-based setting and not a street-facing, high-footfall location.

How do I get here without a car?

Bus stops with services to Leeds, Bradford and Pudsey are around a two-minute walk away, and Pudsey train station is about a 15-minute walk.

Come and see Leigh House for yourself

The best way to decide is to walk the building and the grounds, see the offices and ask us anything. There's no pressure, and no obligation.

Before you visit, know your budget. We may not be the cheapest in the area, but we promise an honest price, no hidden costs and no surprises once you've moved in. View Leigh House and decide whether it's the right space for your business.
