As Heathrow’s closest major town centre location, Staines delivers steady and respectable letting results. A strong lineup of US firms such as ServiceNow, VMWare, Gartner, Mallinckrodt Pharma and Ensono populate the market. A range of ample supply within the 5,000 - 20,000 sq ft bracket, both in the town centre and along The Causeway, has kept rents steady at £34.00 - £35.00 psf, rather than heading upwards just yet.

XLB and AIMCo recently secured 50,000 sq ft to ADP, a payroll and HR solution company previously occupying space in Chertsey, reflecting Staines’ primacy over smaller neighbouring satellites. Other occupiers may follow as Chertsey becomes more peripheral.

The town centre itself has suffered a couple of hits, with Waitrose closing and the usual Debenhams issue, but the street scene has generally improved with completion of aspirational residential quarter Eden Grove and regeneration piazza London Square.
