Frequently Asked Questions About Renting Light Industrial Units in South East, England

Search all light industrial units
What is a light industrial unit?
A light industrial unit is a commercial property typically used for activities such as manufacturing, assembly, storage, distribution and workshop operations. These premises are generally suitable for businesses that require operational space without the impacts associated with heavier industrial uses.
What types of businesses use light industrial units?
Light industrial space is used by a wide range of occupiers, including e-commerce businesses, tradespeople, manufacturers, food producers, logistics operators and service-based companies. Many growing businesses choose these properties because they can accommodate both operational and storage requirements.
What should I consider before renting a unit?
Important factors include location, transport links, loading facilities, power supply, parking, ceiling height, security and lease flexibility. You should also confirm that the property's planning use aligns with your intended business activity.
How much does light industrial space cost?
Rental costs vary depending on the location, size, specification and condition of the property. In addition to rent, occupiers should budget for business rates, utilities, insurance, service charges and any fit-out requirements.
What lease terms are typically available?
Lease lengths vary by property and landlord, with both short-term and longer-term agreements available. Before signing, it's important to understand any break clauses, rent reviews, repair obligations and restrictions on use.
Are business rates included in the rent?
Business rates are usually payable separately unless the property is offered on an all-inclusive basis. Depending on the circumstances, some occupiers may qualify for available business rates relief schemes.
Do I need planning permission for my business activity?
Many light industrial properties fall within Use Class E(g)(iii), although planning permissions can vary between sites. If your intended use differs from the existing permission, you may need approval from the local planning authority before operating from the property.
Can I make alterations to the property?
Minor alterations are often permitted with landlord approval, while more substantial works may require formal consent and, in some cases, planning or building regulations approval. Always review the lease before undertaking any changes.
What features are commonly found in light industrial units?
Many properties include roller shutter doors, three-phase electricity, concrete flooring, loading areas, office accommodation, welfare facilities and on-site parking. Specifications vary between buildings, so it's worth reviewing individual property details carefully.
Do I need insurance?
Most occupiers will require appropriate insurance cover, which may include public liability, employers' liability and contents insurance. The landlord will often insure the building itself, although responsibilities should be confirmed within the lease.
Can I sublet or assign my lease?
This will depend on the terms of the lease. Some agreements allow subletting or assignment with landlord consent, while others place restrictions on these arrangements. If flexibility is important, review these provisions before signing.
How can I find the right property?
Start by identifying your operational requirements, including size, location, access needs and budget. Comparing multiple properties and reviewing their specifications, lease terms and future expansion potential can help you find a space that supports your business effectively.
