In short: London industrial land is scarce, so warehouses are among the most sought-after commercial assets, with values driven by location, size, specification and lease terms if tenanted. Key areas include Park Royal, the Lea Valley, Thames Gateway (Barking, Dagenham, Belvedere) and around Heathrow. Check eaves height, loading doors, yard depth, power supply, planning use class, EPC rating and any ground contamination, and whether the site is protected industrial land in the London Plan. Finance usually needs a larger deposit than residential.
