With the housing market having declined dramatically over the last year canny investors are now seeking other avenues in which to invest their hard earned capital. While business space has always been the poor relation when investors have come to making decisions on where best they can secure long-term capital growth, it may just be time to think again.

Two business space developments have just come on the market in North Ayrshire. The first at West Bowhouse Workshops in the Girdle Toll area of Irvine contains 13 units and is fully occupied. The current rental income is of £32,500 per annum and the asking price is offers over £335,000.

The second development on the market is the Ashgrove Workshops based close to the railway station in Kilwinning. The total current rent is £56,450 and there are a total of 18 units, all of which are fully occupied. The owners are seeking offers in excess of £600,000.
