Led by Matt Lenzie, ex-Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland, we arrange commercial mortgages, bridging finance, and development finance across Collier Row and the wider Romford area.
Collier Row's property market reflects its position within the broader Romford area, with pricing that appeals to value-focused buyers, with retail rents of £18-32 per square foot and office space from £15-25 per square foot. Borough-wide yields average 6%, though prime Collier Row stock with secure tenants on longer leases can achieve tighter returns. Property values across Romford have risen 16.5% over five years, and Collier Row has broadly tracked this positive trajectory.
Development interest in Collier Row centres on upgrading the existing building stock, re-roofing, new shopfronts, energy-efficiency retrofits, and internal reconfiguration feature prominently. The wider borough benefits from town centre enhancement, which lifts investor sentiment and attracts new occupier demand. Applications are typically well-received where designs respect the prevailing streetscape character.
