The Prideview Group hosted their annual Investment Seminar in Central London on 8th November, which was attended by over 100 private investors.
Their guest speaker was George Walker, Partner and Auctioneer at Allsop, the leading commercial property auction house, who discussed the current market and the results of their £150m October auction sale (their highest since 2006).
The investors present came from as far as Europe and Africa, and many of the new faces were former residential investors looking at commercial property investment due to the recent residential tax changes.
Accordingly part of the seminar was focused on buying shops with flats (which are not subject to residential tax rates) and ways to add value to commercial properties.
