The 2041 rent review includes 7 Amberly Wharf with an estimated total site area of acres MARKET COMMENTARY London has witnessed a significant reduction in available industrial land with a reported 260 acres per annum lost to alternative uses, such as residential, between 2010 and Coupled with high demand, particularly within the e-commerce sector, this has resulted in significant growth in rental values and land values over this period. RENTAL VALUE Based on the market position, we consider the current industrial land value for the subject property is at least 3,000,000 per acre with the prospect of significant future growth. As such we consider the current estimated rental value, under the terms of the rent review provisions in the lease, to be at least 550,000 per annum. Since December 2011 to mid 2017 London Industrial Capital Value growth, according to IPD, was over 60% which applied to the last rent review would support over 3,000,000 per acre. GVA Research are forecasting further London Industrial Capital Value growth of over 5.00% per annum over the next 5 years. The growth in land values is also supported by the growth in rental values with prime rental levels of per sq ft plus in Park Royal and per sq ft plus in Enfield, with rental levels within Inner London achieving over per sq ft.
