A refurbishment scheme has been prepared to comprehensively upgrade the building to create a highly efcient working environment, while maintaining an affordable rent. The specication can be adapted to meet particular business needs allowing a choice of nishes and t-out costs can be incorporated into a leasing agreement. In addition to the advantages that Argyle House brings in terms of location, cost and efciency, leasing packages can be tailored to specic business needs. Our aim is to make relocation to Argyle House as easy as practically possible.
