Serious Fraud Office Strategic Asset Management Plan - Executive Summary

Published 30 October 2025

Scope

Executive Summary

The SFO, a non-ministerial department (NMD) superintended by the Attorney General (AG), is the sole in-scope organisation for this SAMP. The SFO currently operates from a single building, located in Central London, within the Canadian High Commission (CHC) on Cockspur Street (CS). 

The SFO’s office on CS is integral for enabling all operational activity. Due to the SFO’s requirements, the organisation is unable to occupy space that has not been adapted to meet its specialist operational needs. This is a key consideration for the SFO. Indeed, the driving concern behind the selection, optimisation, and, ultimately, occupation of any building has been this need for the space to meet, or be adaptable to meet, these needs.

The SFO had planned to relocate to the Government Hub at 10 South Colonnade (10SC), in Canary Wharf, over the course of the 2024-25 financial year. The project to realise this aim was unfortunately cancelled following the decision to prioritise operational resourcing requirements at the Autumn Budget 2024.

The SFO remains committed to supporting the Government Property Strategy and continues to review accommodation options in line with its operational needs and the resources available. Any future move will represent a step toward fulfilling the rationalisation of the Civil Estate (SFO’s current CS office is part of the Crown Estate), and links with the broader strategy to better optimise civil service offices for modern hybrid working practices.

About the SFO

The SFO is a specialist investigating and prosecuting authority tackling top-level serious or complex fraud, bribery and corruption. For more information regarding the SFO, its work and specialised remit, please see the ‘About Us’ section on our website.

To read more about how the SFO intends to go about its vital work, please see our Strategic and Business plans on the SFO website.  

Property Function Overview

The SFO property function sits within the purview of the Facilities Management (FM) & Commercial team. 

SFO’s FM provision currently meets all mandatory standards (‘shalls’) as prescribed by GovS 004, and the Government Property Strategy. Upon relocation to a suitable property on the Civil Estate, SFO will be able to work towards developing its maturity beyond the mandatory baseline. 

Governance

The SFO leases its current offices from the CHC, who in turn rent the building from the Crown Estate.

The SFO’s lease for CS expired in March 2022. Since that date, SFO has leased space from CHC under a tenancy at will arrangement, as per the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.

Current SFO Workplace Provision

At present, the SFO operates from one site on CS, in Central London, spread over four floors of office space.

Estate Profile

Asset Inventory & Governance 

The SFO does not own any property outright, but rather rents space where required. Space rented encompasses:

No.	Asset	Governance Arrangement
1	Office space on Cockspur Street in the Canadian High Commission*	Tenancy, SFO as tenant, CHC as landlord, with CHC providing hard FM services via a 3rd party provider
2	A variable quantum of secure, off-site storage space	Commercial contract, rented from a 3rd party provider**
3	Space in a secure, off-site data centre	Commercial contract, rented from a 3rd party provider**

*In addition to the above, there are also two rooms at Southwark Crown Court, which the SFO is able to utilise gratis. 

**Commercially-provided storage and data centre space has been identified as the most optimal solution, as it permits the SFO to operate from a compact office space, in line with Government’s desire for a reduced civil service footprint.

For information for property asset number 1, CS, conforming to the Government Property Data Standard, with the data fields contained in section 9.1 to 9.4 of the standard, that include location, essential characteristics and overall condition rating, please see Appendix 1.

Transformations and planned estate changes

SFO Property Strategy & Relocation Projects

SFO Property Strategy

Due to the nature of its work, and with over 95% of its cases heard at Southwark Crown Court, the SFO requires a London base in order to operate efficiently. 

The SFO is therefore unable to develop a presence outside of London, and is restricted from meeting Places for Growth recommendations regarding this. The SFO is however committed to reducing its footprint within London. It has already returned an entire floor to its present landlord and is set to downsize further upon the successful completion of a move to a property on the Civil Estate.

The ability to adapt any workspace to suit the SFO’s specialist operational needs has been an additional factor of critical importance with regard to selection of location, as not all available office space is duly adjustable.

Flexible Working

The SFO has continued to augment the capacity of its current offices to support hybrid-working patterns in line with existing policy. This was identified as an important measure to take, and a key feature of the SFO’s wider flexible working strategy.  The SFO endorses hybrid working, as it has been shown to improve productivity by increasing accessibility and enables more diverse demographics to fully contribute to the workplace effectively. Whilst most SFO staff benefit from this, there are some specialist staff who are required on site full-time due to operational needs, and the nature of their role (e.g. digital forensics technicians).  

SFO Relocation Project

The SFO has been actively seeking to move to a new location since 2018, with work on the project beginning in earnest in 2020.

The SFO, working in conjunction with the GPA, had located a suitable building and high-level planning had been completed to determine the scope of the SFO’s fit-out works. SFO and GPA were looking to agree a timeline for fit-out and relocation within FY 2024-25, but this project was cancelled due to a lack of available funds.

SFO continues to review accommodation options with the overriding objectives the same as for the previous relocation project, and SFO will be building upon lessons learned during that endeavour.

Upon the eventual completion of the relocation project, the SFO will be located on the Civil Estate, aligning with the wider strategy to reform the Government Estate by moving all departments to buildings on the Civil Estate.  

The SFO’s requirement is 3035sqm which is in line with its current occupation at Cockspur Street. While a move may necessitate a reduction in the space the SFO occupies, it is likely to realise a host of positive effects, such as more modern surroundings, greater on-site amenities, and superior shared facilities. 

Risks

As with any relocation project, and as was realised during the previous cancelled project, there remains a residual risk of further delays due to hold-ups with the construction works required to adapt the space at any building the SFO ultimately decides to move to, as well as in securing the necessary funding to facilitate said works. SFO is actively managing these, and other, risks.

Future SFO Workplace Provision

As stated above the SFO’s requirement is for 3035sqm, however will depend on the availability of surplus space on offer. 

Sustainability Synopsis and Net Zero

As the SFO does not own any property outright, its ability to undertake adaptation to combat climate change is limited. The SFO complies with all governmental reporting on sustainability as required, and further details for CS are available at Appendix 2.
