Short-Term Office Space in Glasgow: Weeks, Not Years

Many office requirements carry an end date: a six-month client engagement, a team awaiting the fit-out of new premises, or a business assessing whether Glasgow justifies a permanent base. Short-term office space addresses this with furnished, fully serviced accommodation on monthly terms, which you can vacate once the need has passed. At OUR HQ in Ibrox, private offices start at £265/month and are available from one week's notice, subject to availability. There are no setup fees, and the minimum commitment is the first month.
What counts as short-term office space?
Short-term office space typically spans anything from a single day to around twelve months. As a form of flexible workspace, it consolidates furniture, broadband, utilities and shared facilities into one monthly charge, so you avoid spending capital on premises you will occupy only temporarily. The principle is the same whether it is called temporary office space, a short-term serviced office or simply a short-term office. Our serviced office vs traditional lease guide compares it with conventional leasing.
When to hire temporary office space
Organisations typically hire temporary office space for a few reasons:
to staff fixed-term projects with consultants or contractors
to bridge the gap between one lease ending and another beginning
to keep a team together during a refurbishment
Others use it to test the Glasgow market before establishing a permanent presence, or to absorb seasonal peaks such as tax season. Early-stage startups use it to secure a professional base while revenue and headcount remain uncertain.
How short can you go at OUR HQ?
All options run on rolling monthly terms, so the decision rests on how much privacy your team requires. An £18 day pass secures a desk in our coworking space for the day, with no booking or membership. Individuals staying a month or longer can choose coworking at £99/month or a dedicated desk with lockable storage at £149/month.
Teams that need a lockable room can rent short term office space in the form of a fully furnished private office. Prices start at £265/month for one person, £325 for two desks, £495 for four desks and £595 for six desks, with offices available for teams of up to 14. Moving to a larger office mid-stay requires no new paperwork.
What a short stay actually costs
A three-person team occupying a four-desk private office during a three-month fit-out would pay £1,485 in total. That is equivalent to £165 per person per month, inclusive of furniture, internet, utilities, kitchen and breakout areas. Three dedicated desks would cost £1,341 over the same period. Meeting rooms range from Art at £15/hour to Atlas at £39/hour (£149 for a full day), and private office members receive 40% off.
When comparing flexible office space for a short stay, scrutinise setup fees and exit costs, since they are spread over only a few months. OUR HQ charges neither.
What to check before you sign
Confirm the notice period required to leave, because "monthly" terms vary considerably between providers. Establish precisely what the rent includes and whether you can change size without a new contract. OUR HQ is open Monday to Friday 07:00-20:00 and Saturday 08:00–18:00, with a G51 business address available on request.
