Latest insight: Positive signs from occupiers in commercial real estate
The UK Real Estate Digest covers the latest trends and developments from the sector for those looking to invest in commercial property. You can read the latest edition at the link below, but here are the key points:
- Despite ongoing geopolitical concerns, there are positive signs from commercial real estate occupiers in central London’s office market, Manchester and Birmingham.
- However, despite these promising occupier trends, the investment market has been sluggish, with limited activity across traditional commercial sectors and even the once-stable residential market experiencing quiet periods.
- This contrast between strong occupier demand and cautious investor sentiment highlights the current market uncertainty.
The report shares research and insight from real estate experts across NatWest Group, including Coutts.
