LONDON’S OVERHEATED COMMERCIAL PROPERTY MARKET FUELS REGIONS

Published: 06/02/2014

In the past years, yields of the regional properties have fallen as value, and the market was largely moribund. Investors preferred pouring their money into London for several years.

But crunching down yields forced investors to consider other options. The regional market recaptured the attention in 2013, with opportunistic investors looking for bargains sold by distressed owners.

Biggest investors are UK-based institutions and overseas buyers.

The 3 most popular sectors are retail, industrial and offices in third place.
