UK Real Estate: Talking Points October 2024

Welcome to our quarterly snapshot of current real estate market trends, using transparent capital and occupational market data points to summarise key implications for asset allocation and performance prospects.

State of the market

  • Q3 was characterised by muted investment activity with the new cycle slow to emerge as investors deal with refinancing issues and higher cost of debt despite some early cuts in interest rates.

  • Continued bifurcation with the industrial and living sectors most likely to outperform all-property, along with retail warehousing. Offices, albeit on a very selective basis, could see relatively robust rental growth.

  • Occupational markets have been resilient and with choice for occupiers continuing to diminish as future supply is limited, rental growth should strengthen particularly for ‘best-in-class’* assets.

Sentiment appears to be more positive after the summer and whilst there is capital ready to be deployed and evidence of appetite for larger lot sizes, there is a general lack of stock coming to the market hindering higher levels of investment volumes. But rate cutting and rebased pricing is expected to be a boost to UK real estate activity in 2025 supported by positive rental growth.

UK Real Estate: Talking Points October 2024

Important information

For use by professional clients and/or equivalent investor types in your jurisdiction (not to be used with or passed on to retail clients). This is a marketing document. This document is intended for informational purposes only and should not be considered representative of any particular investment. This should not be considered an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any securities or other financial instruments, or to provide investment advice or services.

Investing involves risk including the risk of loss of principal. Your capital is at risk. Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. The value of investments is not guaranteed, and therefore an investor may not get back the amount invested. International investing involves certain risks and volatility due to potential political, economic or currency fluctuations and different financial and accounting standards. Real estate investing involves risks, including, without limitation: (i) actual operating results; (ii) interest rates; (iii) availability and costs of financing; (iv) economic and market conditions; (v) date of expected exit; (vi) increases in costs of materials or services beyond projections; (vii) force majeure events (e.g., terrorist attacks, extreme weather conditions, earthquakes, war); (viii) supply/demand imbalances; (ix) currency fluctuations; (x) litigation and disputes relating to investments with joint venture partners or third parties; (xi) changes in zoning and other laws; (xii) inability to obtain necessary licenses and permits; (xiii) competition; and (xiv) changes in tax law and tax treatment and disallowance of tax positions.

 

The value of directly-held property reflects the opinion of valuers and is reviewed periodically. These assets can also be illiquid and significant or persistent redemptions may requite the manager to sell properties at a lower market value adversely affecting the value of your investment.
