Can regional industrial rents outperform?

In contrast to most of the past 20 years, RoUK industrial rental growth has almost matched the South East over the past couple of quarters. But that is unlikely to last.

Moreover, industrial assets in regions outside the South East are more vulnerable to what is likely to be a growing issue with depreciation and obsolescence.
