Investors to spend in Suffolk - commercial mortgages

09 January 2007

A growing number of British investors, including those with commercial mortgages, will look to purchase property in areas with good transport links to London, one expert has claimed.

With the city bonus season about to begin, Alexander Hunt, spokesperson for chartered surveyor Cluttons, has said that many investors will be eyeing properties in Suffolk, Sussex, Surrey and Kent.

Investment in areas within close proximity to London is noted at this time of year, Mr Hunt commented, adding that he expects areas in Suffolk to boom in the future.

He said: "I think parts of north and south Suffolk will experience large growth because of the train and transport links that they are afforded by Colchester and Chelmsford."

Both of these towns have good transport links to the capital and would allow investors with commercial mortgages to commute.

City bonuses are expected to surpass £20 billion this year, with the money spent in and around London.
