Your one-stop-shop for locating office space in Woking
A new property search web portal designed to make finding commercial property within the Borough ‘a piece of cake’ will launch on Monday 26 June 2017.
The new portal, hosted under the ‘Locate’ tab, lists all commercial property available within the Borough.
At its launch, approximately 50 sites will be available to view, with each record showing the square footage available, type of space, photographs of the location, approximate cost and contact details of the agent representing the property.
With the support of the major estate agencies throughout the Borough, including Curchod & Co, New Ballerino and Hurst Warne, the portal means those looking for commercial property within the area no longer have to sift through numerous websites to find their ideal space to call home.
Cllr Saj Hussain, Woking Borough Council’s Portfolio Holder for Economic Development, said: “Part of the Council’s inward investment and retention strategy is encouraging businesses to relocate or stay within our Borough. We have so much going on in Woking right now, with a great housing regeneration scheme, new school and the continuing town centre redevelopment, many businesses can see our future potential and want to relocate to the area. That’s on top of all the small enterprises growing so successfully that they need new places to do business.
“We want to make it as easy as possible for businesses to work within our Borough, and this portal should save people a great deal of time and effort when they are picking a new location for their organisation.”
Ian Oswin, Senior Partner at Curchod & Co, said: “Woking is perfectly placed for those travelling in and out to London, out of the major airports, or down to the south of England with its great transport links, and yet it also offers country living on the doorstep. We want the property market in our area to stay buoyant and attractive and this portal offers us another way to reach potential customers. We can make sure that properties are filled quickly, keeping our local economy thriving.”
As well as helping companies find a home in Woking, the Woking Works team also offers support for businesses from serviced offices to sponsorship opportunities, networking and information events to reduced rate wi-fi provision.
For start-ups and established concerns, free business surgeries and advice sessions are available on a regular basis. These sessions are supported by the five Woking Works partners, who have committed their time and expertise to supporting other businesses: Arcom IT, Barlow Robbins Solicitors, Hamlyns Chartered Accountants, NatWest and Something Big Creative Agency.
