Industrial a standout performer

The improving economic environment combined with a large increase in consumer demand for online goods, has seen industrial real estate perform strongly over the start of 2021. Third-party logistics and transport firms have been the dominant sector wanting to lease warehousing space over the past 12-months, as they cater for the increased prevalence of households purchasing their goods online.
 
The reduction of interest rates, to historically low levels, has seen demand from investors rise and they are aggressively competing with owner-occupiers who now see purchasing a premises, to house their business, as a viable alternative to leasing space.
