Offices in investment market focus
January 07
Investment demand in the commercial property market remained
solid during the final quarter of 2006. Total returns from commercial
property investment have slowed a touch however into December
as capital values have started to stabilise. As such commercial
property returned 18% in
the year to December down from 22% six months earlier.
Investors have focused on the office market over the last 12
months with 45% of new purchases targeting the sector, in particular
Central London offices. Yields continue to converge with the all
property yield for December at 4.57%. An upward shift in interest
rate expectations has reduced the yield attraction of commercial
property and will continue to temper demand during 2007.
