Teesside sits within the North East industrial and logistics market. Teesside is an urban area straddling the border of County Durham and North Yorkshire, once dominated by heavy manufacturing before deindustrialisation in the later twentieth century. We arrange acquisition finance, commercial mortgages, bridging, development finance, mezzanine and term debt on industrial and logistics property across the county, tracking 10 industrial catchments, led by Middlesbrough, Redcar, Billingham, Eston and Hartlepool.

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 Teesside-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 Teesside

Industrial demand concentrates along the A19, A66, A174, A689 and A1085 corridors, where road access drives occupier demand for units and yards. Established industrial locations such as Teesworks and Teesside Industrial Estate are the natural home for workshops, trade counters and multi-let units, and the first places a valuer looks for rental comparables. Multi-let landlords with estates across the county include Mileway, Flexspace and Indurent.

Rents, vacancy and yields

The UK industrial and logistics market saw 25.6m sq ft of big-box take-up in 2025 (CBRE, UK Logistics Q4 2025, 2025), with £10.5bn of investment (Knight Frank, UK Logistics Market Dashboard, 2025). Prime North East rents run to £8.50/sq ft (Allsop, Northern Industrial spotlight, Q1 2025), and prime equivalent yields sit around 6% (Allsop, Northern Industrial spotlight, Q1 2025). Nationally, CBRE put logistics vacancy at 7.08% (CBRE, UK Logistics Q4 2025, Q4 2025), against forecast rental growth of 2.7% (Savills, Big Shed Prospects 2026, 2026 forecast).

We arrange funding for ground-up industrial unit schemes, trade parks, logistics and distribution warehouses, and the refurbishment or extension of existing units across the UK.

Industrial and logistics refinance and equity release

We arrange refinancing for industrial units, estates and distribution warehouses: better terms at maturity, capital raised against rental income, and clean exits from bridging or development debt.

Industrial and logistics portfolio finance

We arrange facility-level funding secured across mixed industrial and logistics portfolios, replacing a patchwork of loans with one structure sized on the whole income.

Mezzanine, equity and JV funding

We arrange junior debt, preferred equity and joint venture capital that stretch the funding on industrial and logistics developments and acquisitions beyond what senior debt alone will reach.
