Hastingwood Trading Estate comprises just under 200,000 sf of good quality factory, warehouse and office space. There are more than 100 Units whose sizes range from under 200 sf to around 5,000 sf and the Estate contains a large number of small and start up businesses. Many of our tenants have prospered at HTE and moved into larger premises on the Estate as their business has grown.
HTE is located in Edmonton just off the A406 North Circular Road. The location is excellent for access to the M11 and M25 motorways, and the area generally is a thriving mix of industrial, retail and commercial developments. We are surrounded by other trading estates and business parks, and a large number of retail warehouses including Costco and a Tesco superstore.
The Hastingwood business method is to charge average rents for above average facilities and also to provide all of the essential services as effectively as possible. We have on site management and also employ our own maintenance and building team so we can respond quickly if there is a need. This also allows us to offer a range of optional services including electrical work, and building alterations or additions such as kitchens or works offices. All such work is charged at cost.
We see the Landlord and Tenant relationship as more of a partnership than a confrontation. Traditionally this approach has given us high occupancy rates and we aim to maintain this record. We are pleased to note that we are still unusual amongst Landlords, but it seems obvious in these days of short tenancy agreements and massive competition that co-operative, friendly and competent management will be of mutual benefit and that is what we try to provide.

HTE is within the Meridian Water regeneration area in the scheme being taken forward by the London Borough of Enfield. We are advised that HTE will not be affected until 2040 at the earliest. Meanwhile the MW Scheme is leading to substantial infrastructure improvements which are already in hand and which will benefit the Estate.
