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%.
