I'm glad that you found the process easy once you called up the relevant agents.

The problem we are trying to fix is finding the space online. A lot of people don't want to commit the time to pounding the pavements and physically calling numbers. They would rather be able to browse space online, see all the relevant information and be able to make an informed decision about what they would like to view. In an age where we can browse most things from the comfort of our home, why should commercial property be different? This is especially the case for those who don't live near the area they would like to move into.

Again, everyone's different and I do very much appreciate the feedback!

I agree there are some agents out there who are excellent, and we maintain a very good relationship with them over here in London.

Apologies n0! We just started blogging and are yet to optimise our post page for design.

I agree with you - it needs to be easier on the eyes!

Hey apunic

Thanks for the feedback!

We were initially hesitant in posting this on HN because of this exact reason. However, this was actually posted on our blog and people actually found the content useful. This included not only those who were searching for space, but also serviced office operators and some of the largest commercial agents in London.

We decided to post it on here this week to see if people had the same problems in London, but also in other cities.

The market is very opaque, so it took us a while to figure out and articulate these issues.

Appreciate your response Gusfoo!It's awesome that you found an office quite easily!

We have received a lot of feedback from those who have found it difficult, especially to do this online and that's what we're trying to fix.

Hey there ahtomski!

Our vision is to make renting an office easy by pulling together a fragmented market and presenting the company searching with all the options available for their specific criteria.

Once you know where you want to move to, we help you arrange your entire move, storage, furniture, utilities etc.

If you are renting out excess space, we manage the entire headache of taking rental payments and licencing agreement for your space.

Do let me know if you have any more questions!
