What to expect in this edition of the UK Real Estate Digest

  • Investment activity so far in 2024 has been lacklustre, with barely half the volume recorded in 2022.
  • Major private equity players have broken the deadlock though, signalling a belief that cyclical risks have receded and attractive entry points exist.
  • Data from MSCI suggests industrial and retail parks values are now firming up.
  • In contrast, office values are continuing to drift downwards despite relatively positive rental conditions.
  • Independent forecaster PMA predicts a slow but steady recovery for most sectors from 2025.

 

Independent forecasters are predicting a gradual recovery in the UK commercial property market. Look out for our Autumn Budget commentary for more insight and outlook.
