According to a new survey by The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), commercial property sales are on track for an extremely strong first quarter.
Surveyors across the UK are reporting that the commercial property sector is heading for its 'best quarter since 2007.'
Many predicted that activity within the sector is set to rise, with commercial business property owners likely to witness strong demand over the next few weeks.
Eighteen per cent of RICS surveyors reported that the levels of sales and lettings of commercial buildings would rise over the rest of the quarter to March. This is in sharp contrast to the opinions voiced during the last few months of 2010.
However, whilst the commercial sector in London is looking positive, outside London the outlook is less certain. RICS chief economist Simon Rubinsohn said, “While it is true that some optimism is returning to the real estate world, the commercial market still faces significant challenges.
“Regional variations are becoming increasingly visible with the picture on rents and capital values broadly reflecting the emerging economic recovery,” he added.
RICS said that the 'most buoyant part of the market' continued to be commercial investment property – such as offices blocks - in prime locations such as the City of London and the West End.
