INVESTMENT MARKET The industrial property investment market continues to receive strong investor demand from a combination of UK institutions, foreign investors and property companies in light of the UK Brexit vote. Take-up of large industrial space increased by 4% in the second quarter of 2016. Lettings totaling 10m sq ft were completed during the quarter a rise on Q1 and above the five-year quarterly average. Combined with a shortage of good quality stock, this demand 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 up the risk curve.
