Capital Economics’ chief property economist has announced that commercial property is looking like a solid investment compared to bonds and residential property.
Ed Stansfield says that 'relatively benign conditions for the UK commercial property market' have been created thanks to the Bank of England holding the base rate low and a ‘sluggish’ UK economic recovery.
“The spread between interest rates and the Investment Property Databank All Property Yields Index is close to its 10 year high, which means that commercial real estate has the ability to generate income today with potentially high returns on capital investment,” he said.
Following a 44 per cent fall in UK commercial real estate values from 2007 to 2009, a healthy 24 per cent rise has been noted since last year, signalling a strong comeback for the sector.
James Burchell, chief executive at Faircroft Real Estate, says, “UK Property yields have outperformed both the UK All Share index as well as Gilts over the past 3, 5 and 10 years – the commercial property sector looks too attractive when compared to equities, gilts and bonds.”
A recent survey from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) also revealed a greater demand for commercial property space.
