🏢 UK Real Estate Outpaces Europe: Key Insights for 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 📈 The UK’s commercial real estate market is rebounding faster than Europe, with a 1.4% increase in property values and a 7% rise in transaction volumes to €26bn in the first half of 2024. In contrast, Germany and France are experiencing flatter growth 💬 Mark Ridley, CEO of Savills, notes that the UK is "the fastest recalibrating market." However, he mentions uncertainty about "how fast and how far the recovery goes." With commercial real estate values down nearly 25% from their 2022 peak across Europe, the UK’s early gains highlight a key opportunity for strategic lending 📊 The market's recovery is uneven, with prices for warehouses, residential properties, and hotels improving, while office buildings continue to face declines. Blackstone’s significant investments in the UK, including $3bn focused on logistics, residential, and leisure, signal strong demand in these sectors 🔍 As the UK property market turns a corner, kennek's complete lending software helps lenders navigate these shifts effectively, managing risks and scaling their business 👇 Check out the full insights from the Financial Times article in the comments and follow our page to learn how kennek make lenders lives easier! #lending #loanmanagement #fintech

What do lenders and Lewis Hamilton have in common? (This one will surprise you!) 🏆 Lewis Hamilton clinched victory at Silverstone this weekend in a tumultuous race 🔧 He thanked his team and took his lead engineer “Bono” onto centre stage with him 💻 What he did not say, is that his car, like all the F1 cars, is powered by the same technology provided by McLaren 📚 The facts: In 2006, the FIA understood that all F1 teams needed excellent technology to race but recognised that the costs of competing became unsustainable for most teams So they put out a tender for a standard set of electronics for F1 cars McLaren won the tender and now provide the technology for ALL F1 teams 🧠 Lessons: 🏎️ F1 teams know that good technology is critical for performance but it is not differentiating. What makes them unique is their brand, team and risk appetite. 💰 The same can be said of lenders. Excellent lending technology is crucial for scalability, cost-efficiency, risk-management and investor reporting. But it is not differentiating.
