Buying a London warehouse

Eavesheight
Loading& yard
Powersupply
B8use class
In short: London's industrial and warehouse space is in short supply, with strong demand from logistics and trade businesses. When buying, check eaves height, loading doors and yard space, access for HGVs, power capacity, floor loading, and the planning use class (B2 general industry, B8 storage and distribution, or E(g) light industrial). Also check the EPC, any contamination, and whether the London Plan protects the site for industrial use, which limits redevelopment.

Frequently asked questions
