Retail property investment prospects are looking brighter, as figures from the British Retail Consortium have shown improved footfall during August - a result of good weather and easing inflation. Total UK retail footfall fell by 0.4% in August year-on-year, compared to an annual drop of 3.3% in July, and marking it as the best monthly figure in over a year, following consistent reductions over the past 12 months. Key to improved figures was an uplift in visitors to retail parks, which increased by 2.6% in August, a strong recovery from minus 0.8% the previous month. The boost is bringing renewed confidence to retailers, especially as we enter the busiest retail period of the year. https://bit.ly/3X2o9IE #Retail #Footfall #RetailParks

According to research from Savills, the UK is experiencing a surge in commercial property investment, buoyed by recent interest rate cuts. Cross-border investment hit $14 billion in the first half of 2024, surpassing both the USA and European markets. With the Bank of England's base rate reduction and growing confidence in the UK’s economic stability, more capital is expected to flow into the market by Q4 2024. Retail rental values are also rebounding, joining industrial and office sectors in positive growth. https://bit.ly/473jOJU #InvestmentTrends #UKMarket #ClearbellCapital

Last month, our Managing Partner, Rob West, joined a roundtable on the future of the office sector, hosted by Montagu Evans. The event brought together industry leaders to discuss pressing challenges such as economic urbanisation, the impact of environmental and design obsolescence, and the changing trends in hybrid and remote work. Rob shared his insights into these discussions, which will inform upcoming Montagu Evans research and shape the future of the evolving office landscape.

The UK’s commercial real estate market is recovering faster than the rest of Europe after a two-year downturn. Recent market research found that deal volumes and property values in the UK increased in the first half of 2024, while in Germany and France, Europe’s biggest markets after the UK, dealmaking failed to pick up. Explaining the lift, industry executives and agents said the UK had benefited from hopes for political stability after the general election, stronger economic prospects, rising rents and a more moderate run-up in prices between Brexit and the market’s peak in 2022. https://bit.ly/4dGVHDe #CommercialProperty #DealVolumes #Market
