Terms of Trade

Registrations and advertisements on officeshare.co.uk are free but we charge the advertiser a fee when they successfully reach an agreement with an individual (or individuals or company) to take an office space advertised on officeshare.co.uk as a result of an introduction via officeshare.co.uk. OFFICESHARE (UK) LIMITED offers two charging systems; advertisers may choose either, irrespective of the initial indication given when registering with officeshare.co.uk.

1. A single payment. This is made on completion of an agreement between the person seeking an office (The Seeker) and the company or person advertising the office space (The Lister). When a Seeker (or group of Seekers) agrees to take a space advertised on officeshare.co.uk, OFFICESHARE (UK) LIMITED will invoice The Lister for a single payment the equivalent of one month's rent (as advertised by The Lister on officeshare.co.uk), multiplied by the number of desks taken, plus VAT. There are no further payments and The Lister will take care of all the billing and other legal and financial matters concerning the new tenant.

2. Monthly payments. If The Lister chooses our Managed Solution, OFFICESHARE (UK) LIMITED will take care of all billings for your new tenant(s) for the duration of their occupancy. For this service OFFICESHARE (UK) LIMITED charges 15% of the monthly rent advertised by The Lister on officeshare.co.uk. This amount is deducted from the amount paid by the tenant(s) to OFFICESHARE (UK) LIMITED each month before the remainder is paid to The Lister each month, or other agreed period.

OFFICESHARE (UK) LIMITED retains the names and contact details of all Seekers who have requested further information from a Lister via our 'Contact' form and the names and contact details of all the Listers they have contacted. OFFICESHARE (UK) LIMITED makes regular checks to ensure any fees due are paid and will not hesitate to take legal action to recover the funds if The Lister does not pay the agreed amount within 30 days of reaching an agreement with The Seeker.
