Recent Property Deals in High Wycombe
High Wycombe is one of our busiest markets right now, and it's not hard to see why. Good transport links, a strong commercial property offer and steady occupier demand make it a town we're working in constantly.
Here's a snapshot of what the team has been up to in Wycombe recently, but first, a bit of context on what makes the town work for business.
Why High Wycombe Works for Business
Geography, as any surveyor will tell you, matters enormously. And High Wycombe's geography is close to ideal for businesses operating across the Southeast. Sitting on the M40, the town enjoys direct road access to London, Oxford and the wider Midlands, with Junctions 3 and 4 flanking the town and offering connections to the M25 and M4 via the A404. For occupier businesses managing supply chains, client visits or staff commutes, that kind of connectivity is hard to beat.
The rail picture is equally compelling. High Wycombe station puts London Marylebone within around 30 minutes on Chiltern Railways - fast enough to maintain a London relationship while enjoying Buckinghamshire rents and premises costs. It's a balance that continues to attract businesses who want the best of both worlds.
Add to that a workforce of around 90,000 people across the district, a growing university presence at Buckinghamshire New University, and a strong tradition in sectors like IT, advanced engineering, software development and biopharmaceuticals, and you begin to see why the town continues to draw investment and occupier interest.
The Business Parks: A Quick Tour
High Wycombe's commercial property offer is varied, which is part of its appeal. Whether you're looking for industrial, office or hybrid space, there's usually something to suit.
Cressex Business Park
The headline act. According to recent data from Buckinghamshire Council, Cressex contributes around £556 million in economic output each year. Located around 1.5 miles south of the town centre and less than a mile from Junction 4 of the M40, Cressex offers a substantial mix of industrial, warehouse and office space, including modern courtyard developments and purpose-built commercial units. It's home to a diverse range of. Our own Carrie Collinson recently settled a rent review on behalf of a tenant on Wellington Road within the park, a deal that reflects just how busy things are here right now.
Sands Industrial Estate
Another well-established location, offering practical industrial and warehouse space with solid motorway access. Progress Road and the surrounding streets remain popular with trade and distribution occupiers.

A Word from the Partners
"High Wycombe remains one of the most active markets in our patch," says Simon Harper, Head of Tenant Advisory at Jaggard Macland. "The combination of strong transport links, a good quality labour pool and continued investment in the town's commercial stock means we're consistently busy here, whether that's search work, rent reviews or dilapidations."
Head of Commercial Property, Steve Macdermott, agrees: "Cressex Business Park in particular continues to attract strong occupier demand, which means landlords are often well-informed when it comes to review. That makes having expert representation more important than ever for tenants.”
