Property consultancy Vail Williams has successfully negotiated leasing deals worth a total of £3.07 million rent roll in just five weeks right across the Thames Valley region, with a further £6.5 million under offer.

The agency based in team in Reading and Oxford all worked on the deals for a range of regional, national and international clients.

Guy Parkes, Vail Williams Partner based in Reading, said:

“The whole team has been exceptionally busy in getting numerous deals over the line. We feel that this not only demonstrates that confidence is returning to the office market across the region, but that there are a great many businesses out there seeking the best accommodation as the flight to quality continues with hybrid working arrangements settling down into a clear rhythm.

“Landlords prepared to invest and speculate in delivering super prime and Grade A stock may well prosper and see rental growth drive forward whilst there is strong demand and lack of new office stock coming to market at this time.”
