London rental prices are sky high, especially when it comes to commercial property.

With many areas of London cropping up as the new hip place to be year on year, depending on the type of industry you work in, you may be able to get more for your money in a less known borough which is set to become popular over the coming years. Areas that are synonymous with certain industries can have both benefits and drawbacks as it can give your business more credibility or be positioned too close to strong competition, speak to experts at Bilfinger GVA for advice on the best places to invest.

  1. Think about the future

Financially, investing in property in an up and coming area may seem like a great idea but when it comes to thinking about the long haul, it may be worth re-evaluating your location of choice. If you’re planning on making a long-term investment for the future of your company, an up and coming area may be only be the in –thing for a couple of years and investing in somewhere more established could be more beneficial in the long run.

  1. Cost

Looking at locations close to these areas could be a good idea to try and mitigate the cost whilst still being close to the most well-known districts for your industry, in order to boost your business’ credibility.

Wherever you choose to invest in commercial property, doing your research beforehand is essential. Check out where competitors are based, what the better areas for your business are and most importantly where you can get the best building for your money that will help to expand and grow your business.
