LEADING commercial property agency Innes England has been named the top regional investment agency in the East Midlands at the CoStar Awards 2026, one of the commercial property industry’s most coveted accolades.
Innes England’s win in the Regional Investment Agency category reflects a sustained programme of deal-making throughout 2025, advising on a diverse range of investment transactions.
Transactions were completed across both a broad geographical and sector range, with asset types including industrial, student, PRS, offices and specialist properties such as educational facilities, demonstrating the agency’s ability to transact across both conventional and niche commercial property markets.
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.”
