Focus is on maximising returns

Award-winning Shropshire agents Halls Commercial has assembled a team of expert speakers for an October event that will focus on maximising returns from commercial property.

The event - to be held at Halls’ headquarters at Bowmen Way, Battlefield, Shrewsbury on Wednesday, October 22 from 5.45pm to 7.45pm - will turn the spotlight on maximising value, investment growth and funding initiatives in the current commercial property market.

James Evans, head of Halls Commercial, will be joined on a panel by Julien Lafargue (chief market strategist at Barclays Private Bank and Wealth Management) and director Mark Bramall from Dyke Yaxley. The panel will be chaired by Carl Jones, Shropshire Business editor.

Julien will speak about the present economic outlook, Mark and associate Sarah Crane will focus on tax essentials for property buyers, strategies and opportunities, while Giles Tebbittts (commercial property analyst at CoStar Group UK) will give a data-driven commercial property market overview.

Guests will be welcomed by Jon Murgatroyd (Halls’ commercial director) and James will close the event with a commercial property investment case study.

He will also showcase properties, such as Ludlow Business Park, where a multi-unit property was acquired, revitalised and its rental value significantly increased, optimising returns through strategic property investments.

“This event will explore the latest data-driven trends and opportunities in the commercial property market, focusing on strategies to enhance capital and rental value and drive investment growth alongside tax essentials and funding initiatives,” said James.

“We are bringing together a select group of investment services, investors, property owners and property professionals from across the West Midlands, offering a unique opportunity to engage with experts and peers.

“As a leading authority in commercial property services, Halls Commercial, alongside our event collaborators, will provide valuable insights into market dynamics, funding and practical investment advice.

“Whether you are a seasoned investor or exploring property as part of your broader investment strategy, this event offers tailored advice and exceptional networking opportunities.”

People attending the event will also be able to connect with Halls’ specialists in residential property, planning and development, rural professional services, fine art and auctions.
