Weybridge office market – an open door to international business

Weybridge is often viewed as an attractive, leafy Surrey town with a strong lifestyle offer, but it also  punches well above its weight as an office location.

According to Surrey office market agents, Vail Williams, Weybridge brings together a unique blend of high-quality, competitively priced office accommodation, and exceptional connectivity. And it is this combination which continues to underpin office market demand in Surrey.

But how has the Weybridge office market performed amid evolving occupier requirements and ongoing workplace recalibration? Charlie Nicholson, regional managing partner for Surrey, explores.

Weybridge is incredibly well connected, offering fast rail services into London Waterloo which place the City and south west London within easy reach. Not only this, direct access to Heathrow and Gatwick airports cements the town’s role as a genuine hub-and-spoke location for international businesses.

Beyond its first class transport links, Weybridge’s appeal as a business location is also reinforced by its lifestyle offer – close proximity to the Surrey Hills and high-quality leisure amenities, including a strong mix of state and internationally recognised schools across Weybridge, Leatherhead and Chertsey, make it a prime destination.

It is no surprise, then, that global occupiers such as Samsung and Sony have long-established operations in and around the town. So where are we seeing the greatest office market demand in Weybridge?

Weybridge office market trends

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 – from P&G to PageGroup. These locations have continued to anchor significant occupiers over the last 12 months, notably at The Heights Brooklands and Bourne Business Park.

Key deals have included F5 Networks’ occupation of a self-contained building at Bourne Business Park, where post-occupation “grey space” has let well. F5 Networks leased 23,950 sq ft of office space, underlining continued demand for operationally efficient, fitted space and the ability to acquire a self-contained HQ.

Meanwhile, our Surrey office agents completed the re-gear and expansion of Royal Caribbean Cruises at Optical, The Heights. Elsewhere at The Heights, a 7,304 sq ft letting was secured to Synamedia at Building 5.

One of the defining characteristics of the current Weybridge office market is a growing mismatch between supply and demand.

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

Charlie 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.”

The Heights – A case study in targeted investment

The Heights at Brooklands exemplifies how intelligent, targeted investment can successfully reposition office assets for today’s occupier market.

Located close to Weybridge town centre and the amenities of Brooklands Retail Park, the campus comprises five contemporary office buildings set within a landscaped business environment.

Under the stewardship of Kennedy Wilson, The Heights has undergone a comprehensive upgrade programme, encompassing refurbished office accommodation alongside a significantly enhanced amenity offer, including a central café, gym and roof terraces for networking opportunities.

This combination of specification and amenity has proved highly effective in sustaining leasing momentum.

Scott Colman, Director at Workplace specialist Blue Jelly, commented: “We supported Synamedia on many property viewings in the area but the Heights demonstrated the most advantages.

“It exemplifies what our clients are targeting in the current occupancy market. The mixed use Campus format, with shared amenities, promotes staff attendance beyond the base ‘anchor days.’  The broad uncluttered floorplates provide the ideal opportunity to personalise a tailored fit out, to specific user needs, without compromise.”

Recent lettings, including Synamedia’s occupation, demonstrate the importance of scale and flexibility for businesses seeking a high-quality corporate environment without committing to bespoke development.

Office rents in Weybridge

Headline rents at The Heights are now moving into the early £40s per sq ft, with prime refurbished space typically achieving £38–£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.

Flexibility for the next letting cycle

Looking ahead, Weybridge appears well positioned to serve two distinct but complementary occupier profiles.

“At one end of the market, demand is emerging for bespoke, pre-let solutions from larger corporates with specific operational requirements. This was evident in Haleon GSK’s decision to pursue a build-to-suit solution at The Heights, driven by a lack of suitable existing stock of the size required at the time,” explained Charlie.

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

Flexible workspace providers, including YoooServ at Weybridge No.5, have also responded to this demand by delivering amenity-rich environments that appeal to experience-led occupiers. In doing so, YoooServ is helping to provide an incubator and flexible offering to start-ups alongside more established corporate occupiers in the area.

Weybridge opening the door to international business

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.
