Knight Frank’s Post

Some great insights in the Next Gen Living report by Knight Frank for those operating in the living sector. To give you a taster: -Single family housing continues to grow rapidly with 71% of investors targeting it by 2029 (something our expert Anjali Bancroft would happily tell you more about); -Senior living continues to attract increased investment (with 36% of investors targeting senior living rental) (our expert Dominic Morris has rich experience in this sector so do reach out if you want to know more); - joint ventures are now the preferred route to market due to the ability to share risks (something I have certainly been seeing here at Gowling WLG); - ESG remains an investor focus (and rightly so in my opinion). It positive to see that over 66% of those asked noted EV chargers as being on the wish list for their developments; and - Operating costs and fire safety continue to be cited as key challenges when targeting affordability. This is where getting not just your design but also your management agreements right can make a difference so reach out if I can help.

The 'Seniors Housing' property market, part of the wider 'Living Sector', is growing rapidly. Knight Frank's latest detailed report shows; - The UK's living sectors are expected to attract £45 billion in investment over the next five years. - The market value of the UK's living sectors is currently £212 billion. - The market value of purpose-built student accommodation is estimated to be £89 billion, build to rent is estimated to be £79 billion, and seniors housing is estimated to be £44 billion. - In 2024, investment into the UK's living sectors was over £10 billion, which was about a quarter of all real estate acquisition activity. - Institutional investors plan to increase their exposure to the living sectors, with almost a quarter planning to double their current exposure. The report is well worth a read for anyone with an interest in property. #laterliving #seniorshousing #retirementliving #retirementhousing Knight Frank Finance

Our latest European #Living Snapshot is out now! 🏘 Covering opinion from 11 country markets across Europe, the snapshot looks at the macro trends in the #residential sector and what is happening on the ground in each country. A great job by Damian Harrington and Istvan Toth, they have also put together an interesting visual comparing rent regulation across Europe, which I certainly found helpful 👍 Overall sentiment in the market is largely positive, albeit transaction volumes remain subdued due to macro market factors, but capital allocations are stronger than ever. What is clear is that each country market functions in different ways, affected by the interaction between their build to sell markets and mortgage markets, but also other local political and economic factors.

𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘: 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 #not_about_themoney When we talk about real estate, most people firstly think about the money so the conversation often centers on profits, investments, and financial growth. But let’s shift the perspective and together look into real estate at different angles. What if real estate was about more than just money? #𝟭 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 : Investing in real estate allows us to create and nurture communities. It's about building dream homes where families create unforgettable memories, and developing commercial spaces where businesses flourish and local economies thrive. It is a mutual beneficial for the whole surrounding communities. #𝟮 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 : Real estate investments are a way to build a legacy. They offer opportunities to leave something tangible and meaningful for future generations. It's about creating lasting value that goes beyond monetary gains. Last year, luckily enough I met a landlord, who owns numbers of properties in prime locations of Hanoi and he told me that his building is not the asset but the legacy that he will keep for his grandchildren. #𝟯 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 : Real estate can drive positive change through sustainable and innovative practices. By developing eco-friendly properties and embracing new technologies, we can contribute to a healthier planet and inspire others to do the same. People are talking a lot about ESG recently and real estate surely can play an important role in that campaign as numbers of buildings certified for LEED certificates around us. #𝟰 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 : Real estate is fundamentally about people, connecting people at various levels. It's about building personal/professional relationships, understanding someone’s needs/problems, and encouraging someone’s personal growth. Whether it’s working with clients, tenants, or partners, the connections we make are invaluable and should be truly respected. While financial success is always important, the true essence of real estate may lie in its potential to make a difference in the world we are living on. 𝙎𝙤, 𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙇 𝙀𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙏𝙀 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮.

In today's dynamic real estate market, the journey towards sustainability, as illustrated by the Thompson family's experience, offers invaluable lessons for investors and homeowners alike. 🌍 The Thompsons, with their commitment to eco-friendly living in Greenfield, showcase essential decision-making strategies that are increasingly relevant in our industry. Their story reveals that successful sustainable living requires a balance of ideals and practicality. In real estate investment, this balance translates into analyzing both the emotional value of a property and its financial viability. Key themes emerge from their journey: 1. **Education and Awareness:** The Thompsons emphasized the importance of staying informed. Investors should similarly be proactive in understanding market trends, sustainable technologies, and innovations to make informed decisions. Knowledge is power, especially in a market that is shifting towards green building and energy efficiency. 2. **Networking and Community Engagement:** By connecting with local environmental groups and experts, the Thompsons amplified their impact. As real estate professionals, cultivating networks can lead to collaboration opportunities and shared insights that can enhance our investment strategies. Engaging with your community can also foster trust and create potential partnerships. 3. **Strategic Financial Planning:** The family conducted an energy audit and consulted experts to weigh options effectively. This mirrors the investment strategy of performing due diligence, understanding financial implications, and seeking expert advice to mitigate risks. The lessons from their financial approach highlight the necessity of a robust financial strategy that accommodates both growth and sustainability. 4. **Balancing Aspirations with Reality:** The Thompsons navigated the complexities of integrating sustainability into their lives. Similarly, real estate investors must manage the delicate balance between their vision for a property and the constraints of budget and market conditions. Strategic prioritization is key to achieving both personal and investment goals. In summary, the Thompsons' quest for a sustainable lifestyle serves as a microcosm of broader trends within real estate investment.
