Commercial property capital values bottom out

The Q2 RICS commercial survey added to the growing body of evidence that capital values at the all-property level have now bottomed out. But, in line with our forecasts, it also implied that the recovery will be modest by past standards with values only expected to tread water over the next year. According to the survey, investors after better returns will need to look to alternatives, with residential, hotels and life sciences all expected to comfortably outperform the traditional sectors.      

Our team have recorded a special podcast episode all about the big themes in commercial real estate. The 12-minute episode showcases our enhanced coverage which provides a more global, comparative view of how the key markets we forecast are performing, touching on issues such as the question of growing distressed assets but also whether political uncertainty on both sides of the Atlantic is affecting sentiment and activity.
