Commercial property funds could end up benefitting from Britain's exit from the European Union, as foreign buyers take advantage of the weak pound to snap up British assets, according the asset manager Henderson.

The group runs one of the biggest property funds in the UK and had to suspend withdrawals from it when investors fled in the wake of the Brexit vote.

The fund is still suspended to give it time to sell off a swathe of properties to finance those withdrawals.

A number of property funds have been suspended since the referendum, over fears that commercial property prices could crash amid a flurry of fire sales.

But chief executive Andrew Formica said the market is actually showing signs of strength.
