You asked

Please could you tell me how much is paid in rent for the Manchester ONS office (i.e. Heron House), and to whom?

Also, could I please have a breakdown of how much is spent on utilities for this building, such as electricity, heating, or any other office maintenance costs?

We said

Thank you for your request. 

Payable rent is £443,820 per annum. Service charge is £109,788 per annum which includes landlord services and Gas/Water costs. 

Electricity costs are in the region of £48k per annum. Utility costs are for the ONS demise only, not the building. 

Rent and Service charges are payable to Bruntwood Management Services Limited acting as Landlords Agent.
