Havering: A Cost Effective Option
The benefits of Havering’s location and accessibility cannot be emphasised enough. Its mean rateable value of service space of £68 per square metre is significantly below the London average of £98.50 per square metre (2008). All of this combined presents a major advantage for businesses looking to set up or relocate here.
