For commercial property London is one of the best places in the world to be looking. The market tanked during the financial crisis, with values for some of the biggest buildings such as office space being cut in half. Rents fell, though not as far. As a result, yields were considered extremely good and when the bounce occurred investors piled in to take advantage of the bargains on offer. The comparatively weak pound meant that foreign money poured in from Europe and the Middle East, since these currencies could buy more. Commercial property comes in a number of forms (offices, industrial, retail), and specific agents may deal with some or all aspects of it. Those offering small shops to let in north london may or may not be able to secure a good deal on several thousand square feet of grade A office space – since the type of outfit looking for a shop for sale in London or somewhere to rent is likely to be different from a big company looking to relocate its headquarters.
At the same time, depending on the nature of your business, there can be great strength in going to an agency that deals with a broad cross-section of the property market, since many companies will require more than one sub-sector. If you’re after several shops to rent in North London, there’s a good chance you’ll need warehouses to keep your stock in and office space to administrate your business. It’s simpler and cheaper to find all of these through the same agency than it is to hunt around and pick them up piecemeal.
London is a good prospect for commercial property at the moment – a growth area that led the country’s recovery in the sector. The rebound from recession has not been as strong as hoped, but the capital has tended to do better than other areas, partly due to the lack of new developments, heralding a bottleneck in coming years and pushing up prices through the simple law of supply and demand. If you’re looking for a shop for sale in London or other forms of commercial property London is still promising in terms of the potential for return. However, regardless of whether you are looking for industrial property on the outskirts or shops to let in north london, ensuring you have the right agent can make a huge difference in the cost and suitability of the space you rent or buy.
