Investors 'neglect commercial opportunities'

Commercial investment has always been regarded as the remit for professional investors, but the opportunities coming on to the market has opened the gates to the novice investor. Commercial investment does not have to be on a large scale and investors interested in diversifying their portfolio can see returns in the form of rental yields and capital gains with a variety of options to consider.

Nick Clark, managing director of The Homebuyer Show commented: “Commercial property offers an opportunity that many investors wouldn’t initially consider, but it can provide good rental yields, high capital growth and enables the investor to build up a diverse portfolio. People are cottoning on to the potential, and following the SIPPs u-turn it is now only commercial property that can be included in a SIPP, making it even more appealing not only to investors but to anyone looking to secure their future wealth.”
