Telsen Centre, Thomas Street

Offices to let at the Telsen Centre place growing businesses inside a landmark Aston building, with commercial units to rent ranging from 150 sq ft to 4,757 sq ft. This four storey former radio factory offers office space to rent, workshop space, and storage units across a single Birmingham address, B6 4TN, allowing occupiers to take a compact studio or an entire self-contained floorplate. Sole traders, creative studios, light industrial operators and established SMEs occupy the building side by side, and the mix of unit sizes suits occupiers who expect to scale. Few flexible office space options in Birmingham cover so broad a size range under one roof.

Connectivity is a defining strength: the building is visible from the A38M Aston Expressway and sits minutes from Birmingham city centre. Aston railway station is a short walk away, placing the wider West Midlands within easy commuting reach for staff and clients alike.

Crucially for fleet operators and daily commuters, the Telsen Centre sits outside Birmingham's Clean Air Zone, removing a recurring daily charge that affects most comparable commercial property to let across the city centre. On site car parking and a private courtyard support vehicle access, while a loading bay, roller shutter entry, and two goods lifts make the building as workable for distribution and storage users as for office occupiers.

Telsen Electric built wireless receivers here from the 1930s, and memorabilia from that era still lines the corridors. MIA refurbished the premises into 91 studios, workshops and offices in 1982 and has owned the freehold since 2002. A lattice gated passenger lift serves every floor from the main entrance, and an audio entry system, communal kitchen and toilet facilities, and an onsite caretaker support occupiers day to day.

Units are let on a straightforward monthly licence rather than a conventional lease, with 24 hour access included and a refundable deposit required on every unit. The service charge covers caretaking, cleaning to common areas and toilets, building insurance, and property management, and high speed symmetrical fibre optic broadband can be installed on a 48 hour turnaround. Business rates are payable separately on most units, though the smallest studio is priced inclusive of rates. Occupiers qualifying for Small Business Rates Relief may reduce that charge substantially, a point worth verifying with the local authority. Six units are currently available, and licence terms can begin immediately.

For businesses seeking office space to rent in Birmingham without city centre overheads, workshop and industrial units to rent under one roof, or simply units to let with room to expand, the Telsen Centre offers rare breadth on short commitment terms.
