The Gateway was converted from a Victorian warehouse, creating hugely characterful workspaces in a predominantly residential area of Charlton, SE7. Most are suited to office and studio uses, whilst the larger units are ideal for light production facilities such as print and other graphics. This site contains 11 units, ranging in size from 285 sq.ft. to 1,950 sq.ft.

Facilities in each unit include:

  • Full power supply and lighting
  • Metered water supply
  • Own kitchenette unit
  • Close to Charlton Mainline station
  • Easy access to the A2 for the Blackwall Tunnel and Kent
  • Modern insulation standards, resulting in low heating costs
  • Tenants are responsible only for the maintenance of the inside of their unit and to ‘leave it as they found it’.
  • CCTV coverage
  • Shared toilet facilities on each floor
  • Business users’ on-street parking permits are normally available
  • Units are let on GEB’s Small Business Lease – see TERMS

The length of our “Small Business Lease” is 4 years, which is renewable by mutual agreement at its end.

The leases are ‘internally repairing’ only. We, the landlord are responsible for repairs to the structure of the building and to the car park etc; tenants are responsible for the interiors of their units

Leases are exempted from the Landlord and Tenant Act

We offer tenants the right to terminate the lease and leave the premises after only 6 months

We charge a simple monthly Fee, which includes the rent and a fixed service charge. The service charge covers many items, including:

  • Structural and external repairs and maintenance.
  • Maintenance of the shared areas.
  • Buildings insurance (not tenants’ contents)
  • CCTV
  • Removal of kitchen waste and office paper (tenants make their own arrangements for trade waste)

The Fees are defined in the lease for its duration; tenants thus know exactly what they will be paying in the years ahead, with no unexpectedincreases

There is an initial charge of £250 + Vat for drawing up the lease. Payment of this is the first step in the process of taking an office

A security deposit equivalent to one month’s rent inc VAT is payable in advance and is held on account
