An industry expert has claimed that commercial property investment is becoming more attractive in light of economic uncertainty.
The effect the economic uncertainty is having on bonds has served to make commercial property investment appear an increasingly attractive option for investors.
Isis Property Trust manager Ian McBryde said that commercial development was a 'better option for those looking to invest capital,' due to falling bond yields.
But, McBryde warns that commercial property investment is no longer certain to produce short-term gains and certainly not of the level that could be relied upon in previous years.
He also highlighted that those investors buying into the 'secondary' non-prime commercial property market were even less likely to secure short-term gains that those who have invested in prime property, including that in central London.
“If you're in the secondary market, however, I don't think the income's so secure. Investors have picked up on this and the secondary market has remained flat around its crisis levels,” he said.
In related news, Peter Hargreaves, the chief executive of Hargreaves Lansdown, has claimed that a glut of available commercial properties will be created by public sector cuts, which is likely to drive rental prices down in the short-term, but also open the doors for entrepreneurs looking to invest in the sector.
