Commercial property deals on the rise in Yorkshire

The vale of retail deals rose to represent 83.5 per of the total in the third quarter while the value of office deals fell dramatically.
LSH northern head of capital markets, Abid Jaffry, said: “Investor demand within the region remains focused on the retail sector with appetite for office and industrial stock continuing to be limited.”
Group chief executive, Ezra Nahome, added: “Overall, investors continue to be wary of regional investment due to the depressed occupier market.
“However, one trend that emerged this quarter was that when large, modern and well-let regional shopping centres and retail warehouses come to the market they attract purchasers, mainly because of the secure income they offer.
