LOCATION.Ashford is located in the London Borough of Spelthorne approximately 17 miles (27 km) west of Central London and 3 miles (5 km) south of Heathrow Airport. The town has a resident population of 27,382 (2011 Census).Ashford benefits from excellent communication links being situated 4 miles (6.5 km) east of junction 13 of the M25 motorway. The town is also 2 miles (3 km) west of junction 1 of the M3 motorway and 5 miles (8km) south of junction 3 of the M4 motorway.

Ashford railway station provides direct rail services to London Waterloo with a fastest journey time of approximately 38 minutes. The Heathrow Express service at terminal 4 offers direct services to London Paddington with a fastest journey time of 15 minutes.

The local economy is dominated by the close proximity of London Heathrow Airport. In 2015 the Airports Commission recommended the expansion of Heathrow with a third runway. Whilst the location of the new runway will not impact on the property its proposed construction is likely to have significant positive economic benefits to the town.

The West London industrial market is the highest value industrial market in the UK and is characterised by strong tenant demand and a shortage of available buildings. The result of this imbalance has led to speculative development being undertaken, strong rental growth and a reduction in tenant incentive levels as occupiers compete for buildings.
