In addition, house prices have increased at a considerable rate over the past 2 years (7%) and forecasts suggest that they will continue to grow. Recent residential flat sales have achieved between 350-405 psf as reflected in the following schedule: PROPERTY ASKING PRICE NO.BEDS AREA SQ FT PSF Newstead Way, Fifth Avenue, Harlow, Essex Gladwin Way, Harlow, Essex Mill Court, Edinburgh Gate, Harlow 195,000 1 480 406 175,000 1 489 358 210,000 2 596 352 OFFICE MARKET COMMENTARY Harlow is a well-located office location situated within the London-Cambridge-Stansted Corridor, with all three locations accessible within 1 hour. The corridor offers a large and highly educated workforce with almost 40% qualified to a degree level or above with substantial recent investment into educational and public infrastructure. Take-up in 2016 totalled 50,000 sq ft, take-up in 2015 totalled 117,000 sq ft; both in excess of the 10 year average annual take-up of 32,000 sq ft. Harlow benefitted from a positive start to 2017, with 28,000 sq ft let to Pearson at KAO Park, at a headline rent of 18.00 per sq ft. Supply in Harlow is currently 130,000 sq ft, owing largely to a significant development pipeline at KAO Park. The majority of supply is therefore Grade A office accommodation with quoting rents in excess of 18.00 per sq ft. The supply of office accommodation for more cost sensitive occupiers, of which Mitre Buildings would be considered, has diminished in recent years through various redevelopments and conversion of traditional office supply to alternative uses such as residential.
