Currently, many law firms are facing lease events, presenting a prime opportunity to assess whether their offices and locations are truly fit for purpose and resilient to current and emerging trends, such as talent attraction, digital transformation, GenAI impact, changing workforce demographics and ESG commitments. Simultaneously, international law firms, particularly from the USA, continue to expand their footprint in London. This is set against a backdrop of constrained supply of prime office space.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐘𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰! It's fair to say its been a slow start to the year as the property market recovers from the November Budget and subsequent spikes in gilts and swaps. It has been relatively stable with positivity in sectors such as retail warehousing, industrial and food stores. The emergence of LGPS money has helped maintain that sentiment but the availability of good quality stock is an issue. Hopefully the expected base rate cuts as we continue through the year will add some much need stimulus to the markets. Read the full guide here: https://lnkd.in/eeAaCQxf #CRE #yourpartnersinproperty #yieldguide #valuation #retail Caroline Bathgate Tim Robinson Roger Young Emily Miller Jeremy Tham MSc FRICS Nicholas Peart-Moisey Matthew Dichler Henry Francis

Our Operational Long Income and Valuation Long Income teams recently hosted their inaugural Long Income Breakfast client event which offered some of our key clients an opportunity to network with peers and listen to valuable insights from sector leaders discussing the changing dynamics of this area of the market. The event featured a dynamic quick-fire panel discussion with panellists: • Renos Booth, Head of Real Estate Long Income at Aviva Investors • Sammie Stanton, Fund Manager at LGIM, LPI Income Property Fund • Matthew Forward, Senior Real Estate Investment Manager at Nest Invest • Nik Potter, Associate in Capital Markets Research at Knight Frank Key takeaways from the discussion included: • A number of new investors are active in the market as we see DB pension schemes reducing their exposure to real estate whilst LGPS capital, DC pension schemes and insurers all look to commit funds to the Long Income market. • Unsurprisingly, the Long Income market has faced headwinds with gilt and bond yields softening in Q1 2025 but the outlook is positive with further rate cuts expected. • Investor sentiment in the room was positive despite challenging MSCI performance in 2024, as investors expect a rebound in 2025. A special thanks to our panellists and all attendees for making this event a success!
