The CPN is delighted to share that member firm Innes England has been named Top Regional Investment Agency in the East Midlands at the CoStar Awards 2026 — one of the commercial property industry’s most respected accolades.
The award recognises a strong year of investment activity for the firm, with Innes England advising on a wide range of transactions throughout 2025. Its work spanned both a broad geographic reach and a diverse mix of asset classes, including industrial, student accommodation, private rented sector, offices and specialist properties such as educational facilities. The breadth of deals completed highlights the firm’s ability to deliver across both mainstream and more specialist areas of the market.
Ben Robinson, Head of Investment at Innes England, said: “To be recognised as the top regional investment agency in the East Midlands at the CoStar Awards is a tremendous achievement and a genuine reflection of the hard work, expertise and client relationships we have built up over many years.
What I’m particularly proud of is the variety of assets we have been working on both on the disposal and acquisition side, from our core industrial and living sectors to offices, c-stores and specialist occupier properties. The geographical spread of our transactions also demonstrates that while we are firmly rooted in the East Midlands, we have the capability and network to support clients wherever they need us.
We are optimistic, as we head into 2026, that resilient occupier markets supported by a lack of new development coming through will translate into a steady improvement in investment volumes and values. Whilst investor sentiment continues to focus on the industrial and living sectors, we expect to see this appetite broaden into well-positioned city centre offices and retail units over the year as investors become increasingly attracted by the cyclically high yields on offer.”
With offices in Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and Birmingham, Innes England is a full-service commercial property consultancy offering director-led advice across agency and development, investment consultancy, property and asset management, building consultancy and professional services. That full-service approach enables the firm to help clients unlock value from their property assets while managing risk effectively.
This latest recognition is a significant achievement for the team and reflects the strength of expertise within The CPN network. We congratulate everyone at Innes England on a well-deserved award win.
