News & Market Commentary Across the South West
Our news pages bring together market commentary, auction results, regulation updates and sold case studies from across Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset, giving buyers, sellers and business owners a regional view of the commercial property and business transfer market.
Auction results are published after each sale, run in partnership with BTG Eddisons, the UK’s second largest property auction house, so you can see how recent lots performed before deciding whether auction is the right route for your own property or business.
We also cover regulation updates relevant to commercial property and business owners, from planning policy and use class changes to licensing updates, alongside case studies on notable sales and lettings we’ve handled across the region.
Get in touch with your local office if you’d like to discuss how current market conditions might affect your own commercial property or business.
