Led by Matt Lenzie, ex-Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland, we arrange commercial mortgages, bridging finance, and development finance across Highams Park and the wider Waltham Forest area.
Highams Park offers one of Waltham Forest's more active secondary commercial markets, combining affordable occupancy costs with proximity to central London, with retail rents of £18-30 per square foot and office space from £15-22 per square foot. Across Waltham Forest, average commercial yields stand at 5.8%, with Highams Park assets often exceeding this for smaller lot sizes and secondary pitches. Five-year capital growth of 24.5% across the borough signals sustained investor and occupier confidence in the area's trajectory.
Commercial development activity in Highams Park is characterised by refurbishment-led investment rather than ground-up new build. Borough-wide initiatives including blackhorse lane transformation are improving the operating environment for local commercial property. Bridging finance-backed acquisitions are common, with investors purchasing below market value and adding value through targeted improvement programmes before refinancing to term debt.
