One of the first property stock exchanges in the world, Property Partner has announced plans to give investors the opportunity to buy shares in commercial properties directly using its online platform.

Company sources have explained that although commercial property investments in the UK have an impressive market value of £486 billion, private UK-based investors make up just 7% of the market. However, the ground-breaking new offering is set to change this, by allowing non-institutional investors to buy and sell shares in premium, market-leading commercial properties.

Daniel Gandesha, CEO and Founder of Property Partner says; “For most investors, the commercial property market has traditionally only been accessible through opaque, often illiquid open ended property funds, or listed property companies subject to stock market volatility. We’re doing away with this lack of transparency and access.”

This increased transparency will prompt investors to target individual assets and sub-sectors, and list shares for sale whenever they like, while the online platform will enable them to receive monthly returns from both the rental income and the capital growth of the properties.

The move should also prove particularly discerning in the coming years following Brexit, as Xavier Pullen, Director of Commercial Property at Property Partner, explains; “Commercial property offers a strong and reliable yield over the long-term, which will remain particularly attractive in the current low interest rate environment.”
