The industrial market continues to receive strong

investor demand from a combination of UK

institutions, foreign investors and property

companies. This demand, combined with a shortage

of good quality stock, has resulted in continued

yield compression over the last 18 months, with a

ripple effect from London to the prime and good

secondary regional locations as investors are

looking to up the risk curve. This hardening of

yields is being driven by the weight of money and

tangible evidence of rental growth in key centres

around the UK. Outlined below are some relevant

investment transactions.
