Cubo at No.1 Spinningfields: Office Enquiry Guide

Cubo operates workspace at No.1 Spinningfields in Manchester. Its building page advertises hot desks, private offices and meeting rooms, with private-office pricing available on enquiry. For a team considering a move, the next step is to obtain a proposal for the space and start date you need.

The Background: A 2024 Takeover

The change from WeWork to Cubo took place in 2024. In a report dated 13 June 2024, BE News described Cubo taking over nearly 60,000 sq ft across three floors. This was a historical transaction, rather than a new opening in September 2026.

The size of the operator’s space does not tell you which offices are available now. Ask for a current floor plan and confirmation of the particular suite being offered.

Ask for a Quote for Your Team

Give the operator or adviser your headcount, preferred move date and intended agreement length. Ask whether the price is for a desk, a person or the whole office, and whether VAT is additional.

A hot-desk membership and a private office are different products. Do not use an advertised coworking starting price as the budget for a lockable office without checking the relevant offer.

Your written proposal should identify:

• The suite, layout and number of workstations included
• The proposed start date and any conditions affecting availability
• The agreement length and notice requirements
• The recurring price and any planned increases
• Deposits, advance payments and other charges due before moving in

Confirm Deposit Terms and Inclusions

Ask whether a deposit is required for your proposed agreement. If a no-deposit offer is available, obtain its eligibility conditions and any expiry date in writing. An earlier promotion should not be treated as confirmation of today’s terms.

Cubo’s current Spinningfields page advertises barista coffee among its amenities. Check the full service schedule for your chosen product, including furniture, internet, utilities, cleaning, reception and meeting-room use.

For meeting rooms, confirm whether any credits are included, which rooms they cover and the charges beyond the allowance. Distinguish an amenity being available in the building from its use being included in your agreement.

Plan a Viewing

Use a viewing to check the proposed suite, the route into the building and the spaces your team would share. Ask about access hours, visitor arrangements and the process for reporting service issues. Confirm any changes needed before occupation, along with responsibility for the work and its completion date.

Contact Offices.co.uk with your team size and preferred start date to discuss a viewing and request current pricing. For help comparing proposals, see our guide to shortlisting offices in Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds.

Whichever adviser or operator you approach, including us, ask how they are paid and which providers they considered before recommending an option.
