"Build to suit demand levels remain strong and in 2018 we expect grade A sites such as East Midlands Gateway and DIRFT III to absorb an increasing amount of these requirements"

"Another resolute performance across the West Midlands and with the supply remaining tight we anticipate a similar performance in 2018"

"2017 saw a similar number of transactions as 2016, but with a lower average size of deal we saw an reduction in take-up. With a number of large scale requirements in detailed discussions we are forecasting a strong year in 2018"

"2017 take-up is down on previous years but this as a reflection on grade A supply levels as we are still seeing a healthy level of demand. We expect a flurry of major transactions will take place in the region in the first half of 2018"

"After a flurry of occupier site purchases in 2016/17 we are now seeing the development community react with renewed vigour on speculative development"

"The strong levels of take-up in the region have seen quoting rents increase which may in turn encourage developers and investors to deliver much needed speculative development"

"Last year Scotland experienced encouraging take-up which has tightened supply to an all-time low. With no sign of speculative development we will continue to rely heavily on the Build-to- Suit market to satisfy occupational demand"

"Investor appetite for industrial ahead of other sectors, combined with capital growth and rising rents, has almost doubled industrial property’s market share, a trend we expect to continue into 2018"

"Build costs and programme delivery time scales have stabilised into 2017"

"Conflicting signals but strong start expected"
