The South East 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 South East and East of England carries the second-highest prime rents in the country after London, supported by consumer proximity and the deep-sea container gateways at London Gateway and Felixstowe. Land is constrained and values are high, so schemes here turn on securing well-located sites; yields near 4.9% reflect strong investor appetite for the region's prime logistics stock.

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