East Yorkshire property market at an “all-time high”

What are the prospects for the property sector in Yorkshire and Humber?

The property market in this region is at an all time high and I expect values to remain buoyant as greater interest is generated in Hull and Humber not least through the City of Culture in 2017. The major investment made by Siemens in the renewable energy industry in Hull will also be a major driver in property values with thousands of jobs being created. The future is brighter than ever for both commercial and residential property investments.

What is the best project you have been involved in?

AJD Properties is currently working on behalf of a private investor to create a large multi million pound private property portfolio consisting of both commercial and residential properties. It is an exciting project which will generate excellent return on investment while also helping to provide good quality rental properties in Hull and East Yorkshire.

What is your favourite building in the region and why?

I love old architecture, so my favourite would have to be the magnificent Maritime Museum in Little Queen Street, Hull.

If you could change one thing to improve the property industry in this region, what would it be?

Speeding up the planning process both for new build and improving existing buildings would be a huge step forward for the property sector. It would provide such a huge boost to attracting investment from both large property developers and smaller property investors.

Who has inspired you?

My family is my biggest inspiration, My grandfather inspired me to join the Royal Navy and I enjoyed a successful career while seeing the world. Now my wife and children inspire me every day to build a successful business and safeguard their future.
