Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you enquire.

We rank buildings using a composite score across three factors: price competitiveness within San Francisco (40%), number of amenities offered (35%), and transport accessibility — proximity to central station or major transit hub (25%). This means a building doesn’t just have to be cheap to rank well — it needs to offer genuine all-round value. We pull data directly from operator listings in our inventory.
The traditional flex office market routes every enquiry through a broker who takes 10–15% of the annual rent as their fee. That commission is built into pricing — operators price higher to cover it. Seek cuts out the intermediary entirely. On a £50,000/year office that typically means £5,000–£7,500 back in your business.
Yes. Every operator in our inventory accepts viewing requests — typically within 24–48 hours for standard enquiries. Send a brief via Seek and operator responses come direct to you. No broker gatekeeping, no waiting for a “call back from your advisor”.
Our San Francisco inventory covers the full operator spectrum: global brands (Regus, Spaces, WeWork, IWG), regional specialists (Clockwise, Orega, Runway East, Landmark), and independent boutique operators. All operators are verified, contracts are transparent, and pricing includes all utilities, internet, and service charges.
The vast majority of flex operators offer rolling monthly contracts or 12-month terms with a one-to-three month notice period. True month-to-month is common in London and Manchester; 12-month terms with better pricing are available in all cities. We display the minimum contract length on every building listing.
The honest answer is: sometimes. Common hidden costs are a security deposit (typically 1–3 months’ rent), setup or fit-out fees on premium spaces, and add-ons like bike storage, parking, or after-hours access. Every Seek listing breaks out what is and isn’t included in the monthly price.
