I'm looking to rent an office for my corp, but I can't seem to find a way to check this without actually having to fly to a station manually, dock there, and check..
Is there any way to do this remotely? I was hoping I could get some kind of information by checking the stations info, but there's nothing there for offices.

Any advice would be appreciated :)

Not that I know of.

I started with a list of stations I was interested in (location, facitlities, corp), then used a shuttle to check them out. Didn't really take that long to find an acceptable office.

Open the galaxy map. Search for a system.
Mouseover the system and then see the systems info tooltip.
Now mouseover there any station in list, you can see "services", "agents" and "offices".
Mouseover at offices show you which corps own offices at this station.
Each station has 24 public office slots so 24 different corporations can have hangars there.
Count/compare the amount of corps in the list.

The database website Dotlan tells a bit more about the services in stations.
And name "Office rental" as a service.
Type a system in search at the Dotlan website. Click the system found.
At the system overview click at one of the shown stations below to check the services.
Find "Office rental" at the services.
May be there is more information about the offices I didn't find already.

Unfortunately that doesn't tell you the rental price, which can be quite high even in stations with room (they may have room because people have recently moved out because of the high rent).

Office rental starts at 10,000 per month.

This would actually be a nice feature to have in game...you could give it a new skill and put in under corp management even.

Would see limited use, but for corps on the move a lot, it could be quite handy.
