Business property searches

We maintain a register of sites and property on the availability of industrial units, offices, shops and employment land within the city. 

We enter enquiries onto the register each day and these are matched to property or site details already held - your enquiry being defined in terms of type, size, tenure and location.

The register is updated with all commercial agents dealing with local property and sites.

The tailored listing provides a summary of the property particulars, together with photographs and the estate agents name / telephone number for you to contact for further details.
