Highlights

Approximately £505m of North West industrial property investments transacted in H1 2022 – up 24% on the H1 5-year average, but down 26% on H1 2021.
Strong demand for all industrial submarkets, across a broad spectrum of investors, although some headwinds have emerged in Q2 2022
Investor appetite for speculative funding has been a driving force in the industrial investment market throughout H1 – accounting for over 20% of volume.
In the short term we expect to see pricing on certain stock move backwards slightly, potentially up to 100 bps.
Occupational take up in H1 2022 continued to break records, with units >90,000 sq ft up 25% from the same period in H1 2021.
Supply remains restricted with only two new build speculative units >90,000 sq ft immediately available in the North West.
New build rents for mid box units (40,000 – 75,000 sq ft) are edging towards double figures on a per sq ft basis
Land values have increased across all site types in the industrial sector, with pricing in excess of £2.0M achieved in super-prime locations.
