RoadChiswick benefits from excellent road links as it is positioned at the intersection of the South Circular (A205), the North Circular (A406) and Junction 1 of the M4 Motorway providing quick access to central London and the national motorway network.
Public TransportGunnersbury Station (District Line and Overground) is located opposite the property and provides regular services into Central London and surrounds. Nearby stations also include Chiswick Park (District Line), Kew Bridge (Mainline Rail Service) and Acton Town (Piccadilly, District) and Acton Mainline which is due to benefit from a Crossrail station in 2018. In addition there are excellent bus routes linking with Richmond, Hammersmith and White City and surrounds, and a boat service which runs along the River Thames from Kew Pier.

OCCUPATIONAL MARKETChiswick forms an important part of the West London office market and is strategically located between Heathrow airport and London’s West End. Chiswick’s location between these two areas means it appeals to both occupiers along the M4 corridor and in the South East who are looking to move closer to London, and occupiers in the West End who are looking to gain Grade A space at a discounted rent.
Current office rental values within Chiswick Gate are comparatively lower than neighbouring markets and properties, including Hammersmith (£50.00 psf), Chiswick (£52.50 psf) and Richmond (£43.50 psf). In addition, the latest lettings at Chiswick Green and Chiswick Tower have been at £43.00 psf and £35.00 psf respectively.
The limited availability of Grade A stock in the South East coupled with the significant depth of occupier requirements is projected to lead to further rental growth and IPD forecast average rents for Hammersmith and Fulham to grow by an average of 8.8% per annum.

INVESTMENT MARKETInvestor appetite continues to strengthen for prime assets let to institutional covenants in core South East locations, value add and redevelopment opportunities. The weight of money in the market chasing a limited supply of prime opportunities have continued to put further downward pressure on South East office yields, as is demonstrated by the following recent transactions:
