Bidwells has secured a landmark deal at the Inventa Building in central Oxford, negotiating a bespoke lease arrangement with Xyme, a fast-growing science and technology company. This pioneering agreement reflects Bidwells’ ability to challenge conventional leasing models to better support the evolving needs of the innovation economy.

Working as leasing advisors, our Oxford-based Business Space Agency (BSA) team structured a first-of-its-kind arrangement, enabling Xyme to recover its deposit upon successful completion of a £20 million funding round. This growth-aligned clause allows early-stage businesses to direct capital toward operations while giving landlords a unique, future-facing security model.

The Inventa Building offers premium, purpose-built lab and office space in the heart of Oxford. Bidwells’ advisory role in this deal reinforces our reputation for delivering creative, commercially sound outcomes for both occupiers and landlords in competitive life sciences markets.

This agreement sets a new benchmark for growth-conscious leasing in high-demand clusters, demonstrating how Oxford’s property market is adapting to meet the needs of the next generation of scientific businesses. For scale-up occupiers, it offers a blueprint for sustainable expansion; for landlords, a new route to alignment with tenant success.
