A private office can look great in photos and still be the wrong fit for your workday. Before choosing one, check how the space handles your actual routine: focused work, video calls, client visits and team collaboration.

Use these 12 questions during your next office tour. If possible, visit during your normal working hours and bring the laptop you use every day.

1. Will our team fit comfortably?

Look beyond the number of desks. Check chair clearance, storage and whether people can move around without interrupting each other. For a small team, our 1–3-person office guide can help you prepare.

2. How much sound travels?

Listen with the door open and closed. Ask whether you can test a normal speaking voice from outside the office. A private room does not automatically mean soundproof walls.

3. Can I test the internet where I will work?

Connect your own device and try a typical task or video call. Ask about wired connections, guest access and who handles connection problems.

4. Which furniture comes with the office?

Confirm the desks, chairs and storage included in your specific room. Ask before assuming you can replace furniture, mount a monitor or move items.

5. What is the complete monthly cost?

Request an itemized quote. Separate the recurring membership charge from deposits, setup fees, optional services and usage-based charges.

6. How does meeting-room access work?

Ask whether any hours are included, how reservations work and what additional time costs. Check the Conference Rooms page for the available meeting-space option.

7. When can members access the building?

Confirm access hours, holiday arrangements and procedures for arriving outside staffed hours. Distinguish building access from on-site support availability.

8. How will clients find and enter the office?

Walk the guest journey yourself: parking, entrance, directions and arrival notification. Check accessibility needs before inviting clients.

9. What are the mail and delivery arrangements?

Confirm which business names may receive mail, how notifications work and what restrictions apply to packages or address use.

10. What are the renewal and cancellation terms?

Read the written agreement. Confirm the minimum commitment, notice deadline, accepted notice method and how the final billing date is determined.

11. Can the space accommodate a changing team?

Ask how room changes or additional occupants are handled. Do not assume a larger office will be available when you need it.

12. What must be confirmed before move-in?

Get the room, price, included services, start date and outstanding requirements in writing.
