The Newton Abbot commercial property market

Newton Abbot is the industrial and market-town hub of Teignbridge, sitting on the A380 between Exeter and Torbay. The commercial mortgage flow leans more towards industrial and trade-counter than the coastal Torbay towns: the Brunel Industrial Estate and the surrounding estates carry a deep B2 / B8 owner-occupier and trade-counter market, alongside town-centre retail and the Pannier Market.

The deep-volume bracket is £250K to £1.5M: light-industrial owner-occupier, trade-counter, in-town retail and semi-commercial. Clean owner-occupier industrial prices 6.0-7.5% pa at 70-75% LTV, among the keener Devon rates reflecting strong industrial fundamentals on the corridor. Retail investment 6.5-8.5% pa. Refinancing maturing facilities is busy as 2020-2021 fixes mature.

HM Land Registry residential transactions across TQ12 confirm an active owner-occupier and family market that underwrites the retail, semi-commercial and convenience income the Newton Abbot lending sits against. The corridor position between two larger economies supports occupier demand on industrial and trade-counter stock.

Recent commercial planning activity in Newton Abbot (TQ12 / TQ13)

The live Teignbridge public access portal carries several applications in the TQ12 and TQ13 catchment that sketch the Newton Abbot commercial mortgage opportunity. The Innovation Valley first-floor insertion at Kennford (Ref 26/00844/FUL, TQ13 0DG) is a textbook industrial intensification deal, exactly the trade-counter and B2 stock our owner-occupier lending sits against. The Higher Lakehill agricultural-to-storage notification at Chudleigh (Ref 26/00883/PN, TQ13 0DE) shows the Class R conversion route into B8 storage that funds on covenant once let. The Yeatt Farm agricultural storage consent at Denbury (Ref 26/00843/AGR, TQ12 6EH) rounds out the rural-industrial corridor. We have placed industrial and trade-counter deals across the TQ12 corridor repeatedly. Stamp duty applies at the commercial rates on each acquisition; refinancing is unaffected.
