A ready-made crowd

Trading questions, answered
What does a unit cost?
Rents depend on unit size and position and are not published here. Email info@walthamestates.co.uk or ring 020 8509 0444 and Walthams will send current figures. Terms are deliberately simple and aimed at small independent businesses.
How long are the terms?
Arrangements are flexible compared with a high street lease. Notice periods and deposits are set out when you enquire.
What is included?
Each unit varies. Power, lighting and shopfront details are confirmed at viewing, along with the practical questions about rates and insurance.
Who suits the market best?
Independent traders who like talking to people: collectors, makers, menders, specialists. If your business gets better when customers can pick things up, the horseshoe will suit you.
How fast does it move?
Every enquiry gets a reply. If a unit fits, the next step is a viewing on a trading day so you can feel the footfall for yourself.
