The North West is one of the markets the major property research houses report on directly, which is why the figures above are genuinely regional rather than estimated. We arrange commercial mortgages and the full range of warehouse finance across the region, from the purchase and term loans that hold an income-producing industrial unit to the bridging, development and stabilisation finance behind a build or a value-add play.

The North West carries the keenest yields of the major regional markets at 4.8%, reflecting institutional demand for Manchester and Liverpool stock and the pull of the deep-water container terminal at Liverpool2. Take-up softened slightly in the first half of 2025 against a strong prior year, but prime rents have compounded at almost 10% a year over five years, among the fastest regional growth in the country.

Figures are North West-level benchmarks from Cushman & Wakefield. Full sources: Cushman & Wakefield (Marketbeat Logistics & Industrial, Q2 2025).
