Rental yields vary by region and risk profile. In 2025, typical net yields range from 5% to 7% in regional areas, and 3.5% to 5% in prime locations such as London or the South East. Yields depend on tenancy, lease length, and asset quality.

Industrial property remains one of the most robust and sought-after sectors within the UK commercial property market, with various options to invest in Colchester. Fuelled by the continued rise of e-commerce, logistics, manufacturing, and life sciences, the demand for warehouse and industrial space has consistently outpaced supply—particularly in logistics corridors such as the Midlands, South East, and North West. For investors, the sector offers strong fundamentals, attractive yields, and long-term tenancies from dependable occupiers. Properties available for sale span from small light industrial units and workshops to large-scale logistics sheds and multi-let estates, offering a range of entry points and asset strategies.

When purchasing industrial property in Colchester, investors should carefully assess location, building specification, tenancy profile, and development potential. Proximity to major roads such as the M1, M6, or M25, and to ports or urban centres, is often a key driver of tenant demand. Unit features such as minimum eaves height, loading access, yard space, and potential for extension or refurbishment can significantly affect rental value and capital appreciation. With ESG considerations and EPC compliance gaining importance, sustainable and energy-efficient assets are increasingly preferred by occupiers and institutional buyers alike. Whether investing for income, long-term capital growth, or redevelopment, industrial property offers a resilient, future-facing opportunity in today’s market.

  • Location: Prioritise access to major motorways, urban centres, ports, and last-mile logistics networks
  • Tenant covenant: Evaluate tenant strength, lease length, rent review clauses, and potential void risks
  • Unit specification: Look for good eaves height, ample yard space, multiple loading doors, and modern construction
  • Planning classification: Confirm permitted use (e.g. B2/B8) and any potential for future change of use or redevelopment
  • Rental growth prospects: Focus on supply-constrained areas with rising occupier demand
  • Energy performance: EPC ratings and sustainable features are increasingly crucial for compliance and marketability
  • Exit strategy: Consider long-term income, break-up potential, or sale to institutional funds or REITs
