Supply Issues As Weybridge’s Office Market Thrives



Leafy Weybridge in Surrey continues to punch well above its weight in the office space market but a growing mismatch between supply and demand could prove crucial, says a regional commercial property specialist.


Charlie Nicholson, regional managing partner for property consultancy Vail Williams, says the town’s unique blend of high-quality, competitively priced office accommodation and exceptional connectivity continues to underpin office market demand.


The Weybridge office market has performed well amid evolving occupier requirements and ongoing workplace recalibration, helped by the combination of its lifestyle offer, top schools and good transport links to London, Heathrow and Gatwick.


Global occupiers such as Samsung and Sony have long-established operations in and around the town, cementing Weybridge’s role as a genuine hub-and-spoke location for international businesses.


Charlie said:

“However, we are seeing office outcomes in Weybridge become increasingly polarised. Buildings that have benefitted from investment continue to perform strongly; meanwhile older or less flexible stock has experienced slower rates of absorption. That’s why building specification and presentation matter more than ever.”

“There is also a clear shortage of modern, fitted Cat A+ and ‘oven-ready’ accommodation, particularly at the smaller end of the market. Suites within the 1,500 to 10,000 sq ft range are experiencing sustained levels of demand, but availability remains limited.”


Charlie, who has more than 20 years’ regional commercial property experience, added:

“Where landlords have invested in high-quality fitted office space in Weybridge, results have been encouraging. The multi-let buildings at The Heights demonstrate that when space is delivered in the right format conventional offices can and do let well here."

“This creates a clear opportunity for landlords and investors. Splitting larger floorplates and committing capital to Cat A+ refurbishments is making the difference between space sitting idle and space letting quickly.”


In 2025, there were 12 significant office lettings in Weybridge, totalling approximately 33,217 sq ft. This represented a significant increase in total square footage leased compared with 2024, reflecting ongoing occupier right-sizing trends but also a renewed transactional momentum.


Office demand remains centred on Weybridge’s established business park locations which benefit from strong access to the M25 and have a proven ability to attract major corporates. These locations have continued to anchor significant occupiers over the last 12 months, notably at The Heights Brooklands and Bourne Business Park.


Headline rents at The Heights are now moving into the early £40s per sq ft, with prime refurbished space typically achieving £38 to £40 per sq ft. Meanwhile the average net effective rents across wider Weybridge in 2025 sat closer to £30 per sq ft. This reinforces the town’s value proposition when compared with many outer London locations.


Charlie said:

“Looking ahead, at one end of the market, demand is emerging for bespoke, pre-let solutions from larger corporates with specific operational requirements."

“At the other end of the market, smaller and mid-sized occupiers continue to drive transactional activity, provided space is delivered in a format that supports immediate occupation and modern working practices."


“Also, flexible workspace providers have also responded to this demand by delivering amenity-rich environments that appeal to experience-led occupiers, helping to provide an incubator offering to start-ups alongside more established corporate occupiers in the area."


“From an office market investment perspective, Weybridge continues to offer long-term development and investment potential. The Local Plan identifies opportunities for intensification of office delivery across established commercial areas, including parts of The Heights campus."


“Not only this, as some older office buildings transition to residential use, those that remain are capable of profitable turnaround through refurbishment, reconfiguration or redevelopment, and are expected to attract sustained occupier and investor interest."


“For global occupiers, Weybridge provides a cost-effective gateway to UK and European markets, meanwhile, for landlords and investors, office demand will continue to flow, if capital is deployed intelligently and space is aligned with modern occupier expectations."


“Of course, Weybridge is not immune to wider economic pressures as we look ahead, but the office market here is underpinned by strong fundamentals – international appeal, excellent connectivity, a compelling lifestyle offer and consistent demand for high-quality space. Few locations within the Surrey office market combine these advantages so close to London.”


Vail Williams, based in Woking, has had a presence in Surrey since the late 1980s and over the years, we have played a pivotal role in some of the region’s major commercial and residential developments.

In a crowning achievement that underscores the UK's leading position in the global care sector, two UK-based offices have triumphed at this year's prestigious Visiting Angels International Awards. At the international conference held in San Diego earlier this year, UK franchisees beat over 830 entrants to take home two of the biggest awards of the night.

Nicky and Mark Goodall, founders of VA North Shropshire, picked up the award for Best International Office, while Heidi Nursey, founder of VA Central Lancashire, picked up the Rising Angel Award. The success of these two offices is a testament to the remarkable impact Visiting Angels is making on the UK's in-home care sector, setting a new standard for care and compassion in service delivery.


Husband and wife duo Nicky and Mark Goodall launched their North Shropshire franchise in early 2022. With Nicky’s background in care and Mark’s in logistics management, the pair have taken their business from strength to strength. “A big part of why we set up the business was to give people the opportunity to be cared for in their own safe, comfortable space,” explained Nicky.


“I just knew that we could be doing more to provide high-quality care for our area, and to be recognised for our commitment to this by receiving such a prestigious award means so much to us. We’re incredibly proud of our wonderful, dedicated team for the amazing work they do.”

Launching Visiting Angels Central Lancashire only one year ago, former police officer-turned-philanthropist Heidi Nursey has already made a huge impact on care provision in her area. Delivering over 10,000 hours of care in their first year of operations alone, Heidi has been recognised as the Rising Angel for her commitment to changing the face of domiciliary care for the better in Central Lancashire. “Receiving the Rising Angel Award serves as a validation of our unwavering efforts to improve the lives of those we care for and their families,” said Heidi.


“It really reinforces our belief that every individual deserves compassionate care, every carer should have the recognition they deserve, and it motivates us to continue delivering the highest standards of service every day.”

Visiting Angels’ ‘carer-centric’ approach sets it apart from other companies in the in-home care sector. Carers working for Visiting Angels feel valued and respected for their commitment to the industry. Through both financial rewards, opportunities for career development and wellbeing considered a priority, the care provider is committed to addressing these existing issues surrounding the industry, which often leaves carers feeling underappreciated and undervalued.


“It’s a real credit to the hard work of our UK teams that they have been recognised above such high-performing offices,” said Dan Archer, Managing Director of Visiting Angels in the UK. “Their dedication, commitment and continuous positive attitude are clearly evident to see, and for both teams to be recognised after only a year of operations is just astounding. I’m endlessly proud of what our franchisees achieve and the difference they make to the lives of those most in need.”
