Listen: Suffolk Q1 2026 commercial property briefing

The Suffolk regional briefing covering Sudbury and the wider region. A Q2 2026 commercial property briefing on Suffolk, a four-engine county anchored by Ipswich's financial-services and port economy, the UK's largest container port at Felixstowe, the offshore-wind operations base at Lowestoft, and the cathedral-and-brewing town of Bury St Edmunds, with the global thoroughbred-racing capital of Newmarket completing a structure no other English county replicates. We walk through thirteen Acuitus auction lots concentrated in Newmarket and Ipswich, where lender appetite sits today, and what to watch along the A14 freight corridor and the AONB coast.
