LocationWeybridge is an established suburban London office

location. The area is now one of the principal office

centres in the Thames Valley and has attracted a large

number of international and national corporations,

The area is extremely affluent and is a highly sought

after location for both commercial and residential use.

SituationHorizon Business Village is located under 3 miles

south of Weybridge town centre and is adjacent to

the renowned St George’s Hill Golf Club, which

provides leisure and restaurant facilities to the affluent

members.

The Brooklands development, which is one of the

world’s first motorsports racetracks and one of

Britain’s earliest airfields, lies directly north of the

subject property. This also includes Brooklands Retail

Park, which provides a Marks & Spencer and a 24 hour

Tesco. The Heights Business Park campus is also close

by, which is a prestigious riverside commercial

business park that offers five new office buildings built

to a high specification.

CommunicationWeybridge benefits from excellent access to the M25

motorway via Junctions 10 and 11, approximately

3 and 4.5 miles away respectively. There is also direct

access to Central London via the A3. Weybridge train

station is situated to the north of the subject property,

providing regular train services to London Waterloo,

with a fastest journey time of 29 minutes. Heathrow is

situated 12 miles directly north and Gatwick 30 miles

south-east, providing good connectivity to the UK’s

principal airports. M25

WEYBRIDGE OFFICE OCCUPATIONAL MARKET

Weybridge Office MarketWeybridge is one of the principal office locations in the

Thames Valley region and benefits from an affluent and

highly skilled catchment population, as well as rental growth

driven by occupiers priced out of Central London. It is home

to a number of UK and European headquarters, including LG

Electronics, Cargill, Toshiba, Procter & Gamble, Sony, Royal

Caribbean Cruises, Mondi and Samsung.

While there are a number of office buildings in the town

centre, the focus of the Weybridge office market is now the

established out of town business parks. As well as the subject

property, The Heights, Weybridge Business Park, Bourne

Business Park, Aviator Park and Brooklands are the preferred

occupier locations. These parks have been the focal point for

the majority of leasing activity in and around the town in

recent years and have now driven rents on new build office

buildings above £30 psf.

SOUTH EAST OFFICE INVESTMENT MARKET

The South East investment market has gone from strength to strength

over the past 18 months and is currently experiencing unprecedented

investor appetite. The market has continued to thrive and is driven by

increased occupier demand, reduced vacant rates and rental growth.

The improvement in the occupational market is allowing investors to

positively appraise assets based on evidence and not just sentiment.

There have been significant amounts of local and overseas capital

targeting opportunities across the risk curve. However, there is still

room for further rental growth and yield compression in regional

markets, due to strengthening fundamentals, while well-located, good

quality property in secondary markets is expected to have the best

prospects for capital growth over the medium term.

South East office transactions totalled over £3.25bn in 2014, with

£2.09bn transacted in the first half of 2015. Prime Yields currently stand

at £5.25% and are expected to harden to 5.00%.
