East Riding of Yorkshire sits within the Yorkshire and the Humber industrial market. The East Riding takes its name from a historic subdivision of Yorkshire, and its largest settlement, Kingston upon Hull, is a major port on the Humber Estuary. We arrange acquisition finance, commercial mortgages, bridging, development finance, mezzanine and term debt on light industrial property across the county, tracking 5 industrial catchments, led by Kingston upon Hull, Goole, Grimsby and Scunthorpe.
The market figures below are reported nationally or at regional level by the industry's research sources, attributed to each source, and used as context rather than a East Riding of Yorkshire-specific measurement. The planning data and housing-transaction context is genuinely local and sourced from council planning registers and HM Land Registry.
