Independent financial advisers are increasingly keen to recommend commercial investment property to clients, research has shown.
Four in ten independent financial advisers (IFAs) have started to increase the number of clients they recommend commercial investment property to, research shows.
The average recommended allocation to
development investment has also increased by one per cent in the last three months, according to the Investment Property Forum (IPF) survey.
Demand for commercial
asset financing recommendations is also expected to increase, with a third of the IFAs polled claiming their clients are not exposed enough to the sector.
The rising interest in office and retail property developments seen since the last quarterly survey has also been maintained over the last three months.
However, interest in specialist sectors remains low, although the UK and European regions have all become more popular among IFAs.
Last month, the IPF called on all commercial property owners and occupiers to respond to the Property Industry Alliance consultation on the Carbon Reduction Commitment, which focuses on arrangements for both landlords and tenants.
