unquote" Regional Mid-market Barometer

Mid-market dealflow was broadly stable in 2012, while activity elsewhere in Europe collapsed. LDC's Darryl Eales says vendors have become more realistic in their valuations and investors have become more willing to do business as extreme conditions abate.

The London region was the most popular investment destination and was able to accelerate its lead in the £5-50m deal bracket in 2012, after the South almost caught up to the capital in 2011. However, in the £50-150m range it saw deal numbers and value fall slightly. Only the South was able to make gains here.

Unfortunately, the strength of London and the South was not mirrored in the Midlands or North. The Midlands was particularly badly hit, with volume and value down across all deal-size ranges.
