    The UK Property Investment Market - December 2011


    Industrial tenant demand is relatively stable and the market is largely supply driven, particularly big boxes, with lower prime availability leading to more pre-lets and some rental pressure. For London offices, investment supply is up but prime occupational supply is still tightening. Regional office markets are more mixed and largely still cautious, but investment demand has firmed, notably in the Thames Valley.

    The UK Property Investment Market - November 2011


    Supply and demand remain out of balance in most sectors for prime space – with demand stable and in excess of availability. From an occupier perspective this is most notable for Central London retail and open consent retail warehousing while in the investment market the gap is also widest for retail warehousing plus West End offices. Secondary markets however remain in a very different position and the gap between the two is increasing once more. Demand lags supply in most secondary occupier segments, particularly regional retail and office markets, while in the investment sector, only in London is secondary demand ahead of supply but that balance too is closing as secondary availability increases.

    The UK Property Investment Market - October 2011


    Occupier demand remains more robust in London although some regional cities are exceeding expectations. Indeed, while polarised, top tier cities are seeing a falling level of office supply and stable or rising demand in some areas, notably in the Thames Valley. Similarly, the best retail units in larger cities and regional centres are seeing demand from international retailers and some UK fashion chains. Discount or value retailers are also expanding in a range of regional markets, in and out of town.

    The UK Property Investment Market - September 2011


    Core London markets appear to have shrugged aside the riots seen earlier in the summer and remain as strong as ever, particularly in the West End. While regional markets are more cautious, one or two are seeing more hopeful signs, such as areas of the Thames Valley and the South East office market. Higher industrial yields are attracting buyers into that market in some areas meanwhile, but for retail outside London, sentiment has grown more cautious.
