Around a fifth of the East of England lies below mean sea level, and the region includes the lowest point in the country at Holme in Cambridgeshire. We arrange the full range of industrial and logistics finance across the East of England, from the commercial mortgages that buy and hold a unit, a warehouse or an estate to the bridging, development, mezzanine and equity behind a refurbishment, a distribution scheme or a yard. Industrial and logistics market data is published nationally and regionally by CBRE, Knight Frank, Savills, Colliers and MSCI, so the figures above are presented as clearly-labelled benchmarks, with the regional figures attributed to their sources, while the planning and housing-transaction data is genuinely local for the towns we track.
Scarce prime stock relative to take-up and subdued speculative development underpin a positive, if moderating, rental outlook into 2026, with port-centric and e-commerce occupiers leading demand.
Nationally, forecast logistics rental growth runs at 2.7% (Savills, Big Shed Prospects 2026, 2026 forecast), against UK logistics vacancy of 7.08% (CBRE, UK Logistics Q4 2025, Q4 2025) and a prime distribution yield of 5% (Knight Frank, UK Logistics Market Dashboard, Jan 2026). That supply and demand picture is the backdrop to every regional appraisal we run.
Development activity is visible across the region: we track 69 recent industrial planning applications in the East of England through council planning registers, part of a national feed covering more than 100 local authorities.
