Space-D Out
For landlords & property managers

Turn empty space into
community impact
& revenue.

Your commercial unit is costing you rates, maintenance and lost opportunity. Estate agents won't touch short-term deals. We will — and we bring the tenants, contracts and insurance.

Empty boarded-up British shopfront
01The problem

Your commercial space sits empty, costing you money in rates, maintenance and lost opportunity. Estate agents won't touch short-term deals.

Meanwhile, local charities, social enterprises and makers are priced out of the market and need space for weeks or months — not years. We close that gap with a simple, low-risk meanwhile-use licence and a vetted, insured tenant on the other end.

02How it works for you
01

List your unit

Free. Two minutes. Tell us size, dates available and access details.

02

We vet tenants

Every tenant org is verified — Charity Commission, Companies House, references.

03

£5M Host Protection

£5M Host Protection backed by Lloyd's is built into every booking. No certificates to chase.

04

You unlock & get paid

Standard meanwhile-use licence. Direct payout. You keep 100% — we cover card fees.

03Why landlords say yes

Reduce holding costs

Fill voids. Reduce business-rates liability through occupation. Cut vandalism risk.

Zero hassle

We handle vetting, paperwork, insurance and tenant comms. You just enable access.

Demonstrable social impact

Report community use to investors and ESG teams. "Your unit hosted 200 volunteer hours this month."

No long commitment

7-day exit clause baked in. Test the market without signing a 5-year lease.

Keep control

Set your own price. Approve every booking. Reject any tenant for any reason.

Keep 100% — we cover card fees

You set £100, you get £100. Bookers pay a 12% service fee on top. We cover Stripe fees and include £5M Host Protection backed by Lloyd's on every booking. No hidden deductions.

Host example: £100 listed = £100 payout to you. Booker pays £112 (£100 + £12 service fee). Space-D Out covers card processing fees from its service fee. £5M Host Protection included, subject to terms.

What we need from you

Three things, that's it.

  • 01

    Access to the space for viewings and tenant handovers (a key safe is fine).

  • 02

    Permission for short-term occupation under a standard meanwhile-use licence (we provide the template).

  • 03

    48 hours to respond to booking requests through the platform.
