“The office market in Cheshire has had a strong year, with a number of significant lettings across the county, notably in the out-of-town market. The key towns in Cheshire have had lower take-up than the long-term average, although this is down to lack of supply rather than lack of demand. There are significant opportunities for those prepared to undertake speculative development and a number of sites across the county should are scheduled to come forward in 2019/20.”

“The North Wales market has remained strong over the past 12 months and we are starting to see an increase in speculative development, with Wylfa and other major projects coming on stream. There is pent up demand for good quality space and we are confident that with help and financial assistance from the Welsh government, North Wales can go from strength to strength.”
