QUALITY commercial property opportunities for private investors are popping up for those with a quick eye for good value in turbulent times, according to wealth manager HFM Columbus (HFMC).
While millions of pounds are still locked into giant funds run by the likes of Norwich Union and New Star, a number of smaller, fast- moving direct investment opportunities are presenting themselves, especially outside of central London.
HFMC, which has resurrected its commercial property investment arm, has already picked off some new projects while the equity market was in turmoil during the recent banking collapse.Š
“As institutions are desperate for liquidity, it is the quality end of the property spectrum that gets sold first, so there are great deals to be done,” said HFMC director Charlie Walker.
“We are now looking for more potential property projects and investors to take advantage of some great value returning to the sector.”
