Why Staines upon Thames

The rental market in Staines has seen significant pressure due to a chronic undersupply of private rental stock.

• Rental Growth: Average rents in the Spelthorne area rose by roughly 3.6% to 6.1% annually leading into 2026.
• Average Rents: Currently, one-bedroom flats average around £1,200–£1,300 pcm, while two-bedroom properties often exceed £1,600 pcm.
• Yields: For investors, flats (averaging £280k–£330k) offer healthy yields, often hovering between 4.5% and 5.5%, which is competitive for the South East.

Staines sits within the “Golden Triangle” (London-Oxford-Cambridge) and is a primary beneficiary of the Heathrow economy.

• Major Employers: The town is home to global HQs like Hitachi Capital, Bupa, and Samsung, alongside proximity to DHL, Kuehne+Nagel, and the Heathrow Airport ecosystem (one of the UK’s largest employment hubs).
• Professional Tenants: This creates a consistent pool of high-earning, corporate tenants who prefer the modern “Build-to-Rent” developments and riverside apartments over living in Central London.
