Things could be worse – that was the general sentiment among north west property professionals at Drivers Jonas Deloitte’s 2012 National Investment Seminar in Manchester.

It said five types of commercial property property will continue to perform well during 2012; industrial distribution warehouses, quality multi-let industrial property, student accommodation, supermarkets and quality secondary offices in central Manchester.

Callum Robertson, assistant director of national investment at Drivers Jonas Deloitte, said: "Over the next 12 months, well-financed property companies and private equity houses will form the bulk of purchasers in the north west.

"The region’s medium-term fundamentals are good and create opportunities for investors."
