BTG Eddisons delivers £12.5m of industrial sales in strong start to 2026

BTG Eddisons has completed more than 600,000 sq ft of industrial and logistics transactions across the East and South East during the first five months of 2026, with deals totalling in excess of £12.5 million in sales alongside a series of major lettings.

The firm completed four industrial sales and three significant lettings, underlining continued demand from both occupiers and investors for high-quality warehouse and logistics assets across key regional markets.

Among the investment transactions was the sale of a secure 34,168 sq ft warehouse and office facility on Dallow Road, Luton. Situated on a self-contained 1.59-acre site in one of the town's most established commercial locations, the freehold interest was marketed at £4.5 million. 

BTG Eddisons also completed the £5.4 million sale of Units 2 and Factory 5 at Manton Road, on Corby's established Earlstrees Industrial Estate. Extending to 58,513 sq ft, the extensively refurbished asset comprises two units capable of occupation individually or collectively and benefits from substantial yard space and three separate access points from Manton Road. BTG Eddisons acted on behalf of Mulberry Industrial Properties Ltd.

Further strengthening the team's investment track record was the sale of Unit A, Henson Way, Kettering. The detached warehouse facility extends to 27,244 sq ft together with a 2,909 sq ft external store and was acquired by a private investor for £2.6 million.

The firm also advised on the sale of a 90,000 sq ft multi-let industrial estate in Kingston, Milton Keynes, occupying a four-acre site, to a private equity purchaser.

On the occupational side, BTG Eddisons secured a letting of Atlantic House, Michigan Drive, Tongwell, Milton Keynes, comprising 55,000 sq ft of refurbished industrial accommodation. The prominent 2.5-acre site includes fully modernised two-storey offices and was let on behalf of Pearl & Coutts on a five-year lease.

At PLP Park, Milton Keynes, the team completed lettings on three newly developed units ranging from 30,000 sq ft to 37,000 sq ft. Occupiers include RWS Global, which is investing more than £10 million into a state-of-the-art new facility, joining existing occupiers including Huel, Kegstar and JD.com/Joybuy.

In Bedfordshire, the firm completed one of the county’s largest industrial lettings of 2026 to date, securing water treatment specialist FLI Water for a detached 30,000 sq ft warehouse at Little Staughton Airfield Industrial Estate, Bedford, that also benefits from a substantial 29,000 sq ft external storage yard. 

Elsewhere, the team advised on the letting of a 65,000 sq ft industrial facility at Saxilby, near Lincoln, to Agri-gem Limited, part of Origin Enterprises PLC, on a 15-year lease, while also completing the sale of a 107,000 sq ft multi-let industrial investment in Horncastle, Lincolnshire to Hurstwood Holdings, off an asking price of £2.5 million. 

The transactions reflect continued resilience across the industrial and logistics sector, with demand being driven by occupiers seeking quality warehouse accommodation and investors targeting well-located assets with strong fundamentals.

Paul Quy, head of industrial and logistics at BTG Eddisons, said: "These transactions represent an exceptional start to the year for our team, and demonstrate the depth of demand that continues to exist across the markets in which we operate.

"The combination of significant investment sales and substantial lettings highlights the strength of both occupier and investor appetite for quality industrial assets. Despite wider economic uncertainty, businesses remain focused on securing strategically located premises that can support growth, while investors continue to recognise the long-term appeal of well-positioned industrial property.”

Luke Tillison, managing director (South East and transactional) at BTG Eddisons, said: "What I find particularly encouraging is the diversity of the transactions completed, ranging from refurbished logistics facilities and manufacturing space through to multi-let investments and development opportunities. The level of activity we have seen during the opening months of 2026 provides strong momentum for the remainder of the year and reinforces the value of expert market knowledge and regional coverage."
