Dealmaker: James Dillon, Sunderlands
“We have found the market in Hereford remains buoyant and active, despite what has clearly been a disruptive 12 months, both economically and politically.
“As always, properties priced sensibly with good exposure have sold and let well. In particular, we have found demand has been high for industrial premises, both within the city boundary and on nearby industrial parks. This demand, however, has not led to an increase in prices compared with the same period in 2018.
“We also note that commercial investors are now tending to seek properties with a higher yield than previously. As with the demand not necessarily driving prices higher, we suspect investors seeking larger returns is caused by market uncertainty.”
