Property agencyLuton is a Bedfordshire town known for its hat-making heritage, its car manufacturing excellence, and its brilliant football club. It is also one of the UK's most ethnically diverse towns, bringing a wide range of unique retail and leisure businesses to the people who live and work there.
With Luton Borough officially turning 150 years old in February 2026, we wanted to take some time to reflect on some of the stand-out deals that our team has completed over the years. We are immensely proud of how we have supported company owners, investors, and financial institutions across the borough, and we look forward to continuing to do so for many more years to come.
From landmark town centre buildings to industrial estates and development sites, join us on a trip down memory lane as we look back at how we have supported businesses and individuals across Luton.
Top deals completed in and around Luton
Youthscape buys Bute Mills
One of our landmark Luton transactions saw us act on the sale of Bute Mills to Youthscape, a respected national charity with deep roots in the local community. The deal marked a meaningful moment for both the building and for Luton itself.
Aldi opens on Gipsy Lane and Sundon Park Road
Our team played a key role in bringing two new Aldi stores to Luton, delivering the transactions on Gipsy Lane and Sundon Park Road that helped the discount retailer establish a stronger footprint in the town.
Both openings were warmly received by local residents and represented a notable contribution to Luton's retail offer.
Water Tower House survey
We were appointed to carry out a pre purchase building survey on Water Tower House on Whitehill Avenue, providing the client with a thorough assessment of the property's condition and a clear picture of any remedial requirements. Work of this kind is often the foundation for confident investment and ownership decisions.
Percival House: Sale, letting, and management
Percival House, formerly the headquarters of Monarch Airlines, is one of our most complete Luton success stories. We handled the sale of the building, subsequently let the entirety of the space on behalf of the new owner, Hampton Brook, and now manage the property. This is a genuine example of our multi-disciplinary approach delivering value at every stage.
Capability Green sales
Our agency team recently advised on the disposals of 200 and 950 Capability Green, one of Luton's most prominent out-of-town business parks. The transactions attracted strong interest and were concluded successfully, reflecting the continued appeal of well-specified office accommodation in the area.
Bilton Way: Agency, building surveying, and lease advisory
We have been appointed as sole letting agents at Bilton Way, and our involvement spans the full breadth of what BTG Eddisons offers: building surveying work and lease advisory sit alongside our agency instructions, making this one of our most comprehensive active instructions in the Luton market.
Letting agents for former Vauxhall headquarters
We are appointed to let Morton House, a well-known office building that previously served as the headquarters of Vauxhall Motors. The building represents a significant opportunity within Luton's office market with good transport links, and we are working to secure the right occupiers for this prominent address.
Wesley House
Wesley House is another landmark Luton building with a story worth telling. Our colleagues at Kirkby Diamond, now part of BTG Eddisons, handled of what was the largest office disposal in Luton that year. The space has since been converted to residential units but at the time was a significant instruction for the agency team.
BBC Three Counties Radio building
We acted on the sale of the former BBC Three Counties Radio building on Hastings Street, a property that holds a certain nostalgic significance for many people in and around Luton. The transaction was completed successfully and marked another chapter in the evolving story of Luton's commercial property landscape with the property now used by the London School of Science & Technology.
Industrial estate sales to funds
Over the years, our team has advised on the sale of a number of industrial estates in the Luton area to institutional and private equity funds. These transactions have helped landowners and vendors realise strong returns while bringing professional asset management to some of the town's key employment sites.
Alexon House
Alexon House, a substantial former hat factory on Guildford Street that reflects Luton's proud manufacturing heritage, is one of the more distinctive properties we have worked on in the town. We acted in connection with this building on behalf of UOB, providing advice and support on what was a complex and characterful instruction.
