How Much Does Office Space Cost in Manchester? Per-Desk Prices by District (October 2026)

October 19, 2026 | by Michael Monday

Published asking prices in Manchester run from £149 per desk per month at the low end to £350 in the upper quarter, with a median of £300. That is the per-desk, per-month asking price for a private office or dedicated desk in a serviced or coworking building, with furniture, internet, cleaning and reception included. The figures come from 66 published prices on SquareFoot as of October 2026.

Price by district

DistrictListingsFromMedian
Old Trafford3£200£260
Salford Central3£300£300
Deansgate3£350£383
Spinningfields2£219£370
Ancoats2£360£360

“From” is the tenth-percentile published price in that district, so a real low end rather than a single outlier; the median is the middle of the published range. Districts with fewer than three published prices are left out.

What a team pays per month

TeamAt the low end (£149/desk)At the median (£300/desk)Upper quarter (£350/desk)
1 person£149£300£350
5 people£745£1,500£1,750
10 people£1,490£3,000£3,500
20 people£2,980£6,000£7,000

These are straight multiples of the per-desk price. In practice a 10-person office is often priced as a suite rather than ten desks, and the per-desk figure falls as headcount rises, so treat the median column as the budget to plan around and the low end as what a patient search in the right district can reach.

What the price includes

At a serviced or coworking operator the monthly figure covers the furnished office, internet, utilities, cleaning, reception and shared kitchens and lounges. Meeting rooms are either included as a monthly allowance or billed by the hour; parking, printing and phone lines are usually extra. There is no separate rent, taxes or service charge, which is the main difference from a conventional lease.
