Hiltongrove N1 Business Centre - FAQs

2: What sort of offices do you have to rent?
Hiltongrove N1 provides offices, studios, and suites for all types of
businesses but in particular those based in the creative industries sector.

3: How do I go about renting an office?
When you have identified a space you may be interested in, please contact us to find out more information. Once you have confirmed your intention to take a particular office, we'll send you a Law Society lease detailing all of your rights and responsibilities as tenant and ours as landlord.

4: What do I have to pay to move in and are there any charges other than rent that I would need to consider?
Two months deposit and quarterly in advance will be required before you move in. In addition to the rent and service charge you will be liable for business rates (contact Hackney Council ), which are paid direct to the local authority and the second is any amenities charges (telephone, electricity, gas and contents insurance) where these are
relevant.

5: How long will my lease be?
Most leases are two or three years, protected by the Landlord and Tenant Act, although we can tailor leases to suit individual requirements. Typically we use standard Law Society leases drawn up by our agents Granby Martin often allowing for a three month notice option after 12 or 24 months.

6: How do I pay?
Payment is quarterly by standing order in advance.

7: What about my deposit when I leave?
Your deposit will be returned to you on your departure subject to rent arrears and any unit dilapidation costs.

8: How can I arrange a viewing?
Please contact us on 020 8521 9292 or email Joanna@hiltongrove.co.uk to arrange a time.

9: Do I need a solicitor?
Our leases standard Law Society leases, and while some of our tenants decide that a lawyer is not strictly necessary, we encourage you to read all of the terms and conditions carefully and take any advice you think appropriate.

10: When can I move in?
Once the lease has been agreed and signed and upon receipt of deposit and initial rent.

11: What is in my unit when I move in?
Your unit will be clean, decorated and in good repair. You will need to take over any gas, electricity or telephone services.

12: Are there any secretarial, conference room or reception services available?
We do not offer these services as yet.

13: If I want to improve or add to my unit, what do I have to do?
Please write to us giving full details of your proposal. Your lease will
state that we have the right to ask you to return the unit to its original condition when you leave.

14: What if I want to change or add offices during my tenancy?
Subject to availability, we will allow you to move to larger spaces or take more offices.

15: What happens when my lease comes to an end?
Unless there are exceptional circumstances you will have the option to renew subject to standard rent reviews etc.

16: Why should I move to Hiltongrove?
Many elements make for a successful business, but the environment in which you work has to be uppermost in any employee's mind when choosing which company to work for. The size and dimensions of the offices in N1 coupled with the excellent craftsmanship finish with smooth plastered walls and real oak flooring ensure that once you've moved in, you'll be loathed to move anywhere else. Perhaps that's why so many Hiltongrove tenants stay with Hiltongrove.
