INVESTMENT MARKETThe Greater London industrial investment market has shown its continued resilience in light of the EU Referendum vote with strong demand from a number of investors. The draw of London and the increasing tenant demand from e-commerce in ‘last mile’ locations, with associated rental growth, are proving key drivers for continued investor appetite.

Furthermore, many industrial sites are being converted to higher value alternative uses which is further increasing the supply and demand imbalance. This is providing a platform for the trend of rental growth to continue in years to come, which ensures the investment case for Greater London industrial remains highly attractive for investors.

OCCUPATIONAL MARKETEnfield is considered one of London’s premier industrial locations with strong access to the South East and rest of the UK owing to its proximity to the M25 and M1. The area is experiencing an acute lack of available stock with strong demand from a combination of retailers, food and drink distributors and 3PL’s as the ecommerce sector continues to grow.

Looking forward, there is a shortage of land supply further restricting future development opportunities. Prime rents in Enfield are considered to be in the region of £10.00 per sq ft with good prospects of rental growth looking forward.
