Flexas.com the leading UK online advertiser of Business Space to the SME market today announces that Freehold Office Space and Freehold Industrial Unit enquiries for the first four months of 2008 were 12% up on the same period of 2007.  Particular geographical hot spots were Scotland, North West England and London.

Matthew Hodges-Long, Managing Director of Flexas Ltd comments “Despite the headlines of Commercial Property Values Falling and the Credit Crunch we have not yet seen these factors negatively affect enquiry volumes for small Freehold office and industrial units in the 750 – 5,000 sq ft size range from the SME owner occupier community” 

Hodges-Long cites scarcity of supply, pent up demand and a long term investment horizon within the SME business community as key factors in maintaining Freehold enquiry levels.
