In this episode, we step away from the extremes and take a cold, hard look at what is actually happening in the self-storage sector as we move through 2026. Following a fantastic start to the year and our recent Commercial Property fundamentals course, I’ve been reflecting on why some investors "get motoring" while others stay stuck in inertia. Often, that inertia comes from conflicting stories about the market.

That's why this week we’re diving deep into the data—moving past personal opinion to analyze the UK Self Storage Association (UKSSA) 2024 Annual Report, FEDESSA’s European findings, and the latest 2025 outlooks from heavyweights like CBRE, Savills, and Janus International.

LEARN ABOUT THE FUNDAMENTALS: If you want to learn more about investing in Commercial Property, why not join us for our 2 day Introduction to the fundamentals of Commercial Property? Learn how the market works and the ways in which it differs from Residential property so you can avoid the pitfalls and learn how to create successful deals.
