UK Real Estate: Talking points July 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

  • Investment activity remains subdued against long-run averages, but this is expected to improve over H2 2024 following the general election.
  • Divergence in capital values at a sector level is evident, with retail warehousing leading the way in terms of the recovery, followed by industrials (the latter driven more by rental growth then yield compression).
  • Despite rising rents attributable to ‘best-in-class’ assets1, office capital values continue to trend down on risk appetite, but declines are moderating as pricing rebases.

Political stability, rebased pricing, falling inflation and the expectation of rate cutting are collectively expected to provide a more supportive environment for UK real estate. Together with resilient rental growth across favoured sectors, this has the potential to deliver elevated forward-looking returns.

UK Real Estate: Talking points July 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.
