Industrial and logistics finance in the Wales

Wales is a country within the United Kingdom with Cardiff as its capital, two official languages, Welsh and English, and a coastline of over 2,700 kilometres. We arrange the full range of industrial and logistics finance across the Wales, 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.

With South Wales short of new large units and distribution occupiers making up over half of 2025 take-up, double-digit rents are now being quoted and achieved at the best new schemes.

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 20 recent industrial planning applications in the Wales through council planning registers, part of a national feed covering more than 100 local authorities.
