What types of industrial properties are available to buy in Stevenage?
You’ll find a range of industrial assets including light industrial units, storage depots, warehouses, manufacturing sites, and logistics centres. Properties may be single-let, multi-let, or part of larger estates.
What should I consider before buying industrial property?
Key considerations include location, access to transport routes, tenant demand, condition of the building, lease status (vacant or tenanted), yield potential, and long-term capital growth. It's also essential to review planning use class and site constraints.
What is a good rental yield for industrial property?
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.

  • Exit strategy: Consider long-term income, break-up potential, or sale to institutional funds or REITs
