Impacts on your contract if they trash the place, sue you etc...

I wouldn't worry about having to charge VAT to sub-tenants who aren't VAT registered. Having to pay for VAT on their costs is part and parcel of running a non-VAT registered business. All that matters is a) can you charge enough to make it worthwhile and b) can they afford it?
Have you checked that the lease would actually be standard rated for VAT?

I've run this past the property manager and it is ok with them. My question is, how do I deal with this in my accounts (FreeAgent) specifically with regards to charging VAT to the other occupants and paying HMRC correctly.
If it makes any difference, the sub-tennants are not VAT registered, they are self employed and would be wanting to expense the office costs.
Just a thought.
Caveat : It's not legal.
They could then choose to expense it anyway and you'd have to hope they don't get investigated.
I'm not condoning the behaviour but it's very common practise when small VAT registered companies deal with non-VAT registered people/companies.

You pay the invoices that you are due to pay the property manager.
You issue an invoice for the service to the other people. You include VAT on that invoice.
They pay the invoice.
