FAQs

Our new ground-floor units are designed for start-ups, micro-teams and individuals. While each unit’s exact square-metreage may vary slightly, they typically accommodate between 1-4 people comfortably. The generous ceiling height, large windows and efficient layout mean you won’t feel cramped. Because they’re priced from £275 per month all-inclusive, they’re perfect for those stepping out of home working or moving from a small desk setup. If you anticipate rapid growth or require more space, we can also discuss stepping up to our larger units — see our wider Rent Office Space page. You also benefit from breakout and kitchen facilities, so you’re not confined purely to your desk area.
"All-inclusive" in this context means your rent covers all the essentials: utilities (electricity, water, heating), broadband/internet, building maintenance, communal cleaning and access to shared areas like the kitchen, breakout space and courtyard. You won’t receive separate bills for these core services. The only additional costs would be your own internal furnishings, business rates (if applicable) and any optional extras you choose (for example, bespoke branding or additional storage). This model gives you transparency and ease of budgeting, which is especially helpful for start-ups or small teams.
The units are offered on a minimum 6 month contract, giving you flexibility and a low-risk commitment. If your business grows, you can explore upgrading to a larger unit within the building or a longer-term lease. Our main Office Space for Rent page details how we support scaling businesses with flexible terms. Because the building is managed in-house, we aim to make transition seamless — you or your team can move internally without the disruption of relocating externally.
Yes — tenants at Oldknows Factory enjoy 24/7 secure entry with key-fob or code access. This flexibility means you can work outside traditional hours, host early-morning or late-evening meetings, or operate across shifts if required. In terms of security, the building is maintained and monitored by on-site management; communal areas, entry points and break-out zones are regularly cleaned and patrolled. CCTV may also be in operation in communal zones, and tenants are encouraged to maintain good practice (lock your unit, keep your access secure). The flexibility combined with secure access is a major benefit for modern businesses.
Your unit gives you more than just four walls. Included in your rental is a shared kitchen & breakout area on the same floor: ideal for team refreshments, informal meetings, brainstorming sessions or just a change of scenery. There is also access to a courtyard garden, which is a huge bonus in an inner-city setting — perfect for a coffee break, relaxed meeting or even client visits outside. Together, these amenities help make the workspace more than a desk: they foster a culture, support team wellbeing and enhance your brand when visitors come to see you.
Oldknows Factory is home to a diverse and vibrant tenant base — from freelance designers and content creators to small tech agencies, consultants and creative professionals. Our building sits in Nottingham’s creative-business ecosystem and the community is supportive and collaborative. If you’re a start-up, micro-team or professional looking for a flexible base with personality — you’ll fit right in. The building environment is less ‘sterile corporate’ and more ‘dynamic, character-driven workspace’. Many clients move here precisely because they want a space that reflects their brand and culture.
Simply contact the team at 0115 697 1057 or fill out the enquiry form on our Rent Office Space page. We’ll arrange a viewing at your convenience — you’ll see the actual unit, check the kitchen/breakout, view the courtyard and get a feel for the building. Once you’re happy, we’ll issue an agreement based on minimum 6 month term, you’ll pay rent in advance (as per terms), and we’ll hand over keys/access. Our team is experienced at onboarding small businesses, so the process is smooth and fast.
No, the key selling point is transparency. The rent is all-inclusive of utilities, WiFi and communal services. You won’t have unexpected bills for heating or internet. That said, you should factor in any business rates, insurance for your equipment/furnishings, and your own unit furnishings or fit-out. If you require extra services (for example dedicated reception, additional storage or bespoke branding) those may incur extra fees — we will disclose these upfront. For day-to-day occupancy, you should expect a straightforward monthly cost without surprises.
