Office to rent

Property Ref: 10224

We are pleased to offer serviced offices for rent in the fantastic Victoria Hall on Rawlinson Street in Barrow-in-Furness. Victoria Hall is a beautiful Grade II listed building, which was renovated in 2006 to an exceptionally high standard and has been maintained to the same standard ever since. It is located within the town center and offers on-site parking. It is a three-minute walk from Barrow railway station.

This is not a run of the mill, dull commercial building. Instead, it is a friendly, safe, spotlessly-clean, well-managed, and vibrant building full of character. It has state-of-the-art IT cabling, fire protection, security and controlled entry systems.

The heating and hot water systems were completely upgraded during our ownership, including the installation of a 12KW solar array positioned unobtrusively on the Carlisle Street elevation of the roof. These improvements, together with the heavy level of insulation in the building, have delivered a Level D EPC, which is exceptional for a Victorian-built, single-glazed, listed building.

The building has been under the same management and ownership for 15 years. Our philosophy has been unchanged since the beginning: supporting our tenants and helping them to succeed. Our building manager, Angela, who has been with us since the beginning, is the mother hen of the building and makes sure that everything runs smoothly and that everyone is happy. We believe we have the best and friendliest office building in Barrow!

The current tenants include Cumbria Community Housing, Eden Projects, Fitzpatrick Technology, Woke Healthcare, SCW Transport, Top Mary Care, Axis Care, Ingeus, Tarti HQ, SwitchED, CASC Barrow, Hideaway Nails and Beauty, Well Led Care and Commercify.

It is an immensely popular building comprising 20 suites of varying sizes. The vacant suites advertised here have recently become available, and they have been used in the past by a range of public, private and charitable sector organizations for a wide variety of purposes. These include office work, consulting rooms, meeting rooms, the provision of personal and leisure services, call center services and storage.

The landlord charges a rent figure, a building service charge, and an apportionment for utilities. There are no other costs charged by the landlord.

The landlord will negotiate on lease length, offering lease lengths flexibly from 3 months to 5 years, and underlying rents from £5 per square foot, depending on lease length and suite size. An apportionment for utilities and service charge will made on top of this figure.

The landlord will contract on a single fixed monthly charge, comprising rent, utilities and service charge. Our tenants prefer this certainty to help with budgeting and cashflow planning. The landlord is not registered for VAT, and no VAT is payable on landlord charges. No deposit is required.

On top of the landlord charges, business rates are payable to Westmorland and Furness Council and are based on the Valuation Office Agency ratable values (shown below). If this is your only office and you claim Small Business Rate Relief, all the vacant suites below will attract zero rates.

Finally, unmetered water rates are payable to United Utilities at approximately £140 per year. These figures are subject to confirmation by United Utilities and Westmorland and Furness Council.
