The Fife industrial property market

Fife sits within the Scotland industrial and logistics market. Fife is home to the Old Course at St Andrews, regarded as the oldest golf course in the world. We arrange acquisition finance, commercial mortgages, bridging, development finance, mezzanine and term debt on industrial and logistics property across the county, tracking 6 industrial catchments, led by Cowdenbeath, Dunfermline, Glenrothes and Rosyth.

The market figures below are reported nationally or at regional level by the industry's research sources, attributed to each source, and used as context rather than a Fife-specific measurement. The planning data and housing-transaction context is genuinely local and sourced from council planning registers and HM Land Registry.

Industrial locations and landlords across Fife

Industrial demand concentrates along the A92, M90 J1, A985, M90 and M90 J3 corridors, where road access drives occupier demand for units and yards. Multi-let landlords with estates across the county include Flexspace and Mileway.
