   It depends on the type of space. The space type guide on spacebly (November 2026) gives these typical terms:
   Private office: 1 to 24 months on a rolling basis.
   Managed office: 12 to 36 months.
   Coworking desk: from a day pass to month to month.
   Meeting room: by the hour or by the day.

   A conventional lease is different. The rent direct guide on spacebly (October 2026) describes it as usually several years.

   Short terms give you room to change as your team changes. Longer terms can suit a team that knows its size and wants its own branded floor.

   Whatever the term, ask each operator for the minimum term, any break clauses and the notice period before you compare prices.
