Led by Matt Lenzie, ex-Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland, we arrange commercial mortgages, bridging finance, and development finance across Stratford High Street and the wider Stratford area.
Investors in Stratford High Street benefit from outer-London pricing combined with improving market fundamentals and transport links, with retail rents of £30-50 per square foot and office space from £22-38 per square foot. Average yields of 5.2% across Stratford provide a useful benchmark, with individual Stratford High Street properties varying by asset quality, lease length, and exact location. The 32.5% five-year price growth recorded across the wider area supports development and refurbishment viability in Stratford High Street.
Selective redevelopment and change-of-use conversions characterise Stratford High Street's development pipeline, with investors targeting period buildings for modernisation. East Bank cultural quarter creates a positive backdrop for investment in the area and supports higher end values for completed projects. Refurbished commercial space commands a measurable rent premium over un-improved stock, supporting viable project appraisals.
