<description><![CDATA[London, 23 January 2011 – UK commercial property performance remained stable in the fourth quarter of 2011, despite continued economic uncertainty, according to new figures released by CBRE. Both occupier and investment markets remained neutral on fears that the economic recovery could reverse in coming quarters. Whilst prime retail occupier markets saw some deterioration this quarter, there was no headline decline at the All Property level, as industrial and office markets continued to see some improvements, at 0.4% and 0.1% respectively. This meant that over the year, prime rents at the All Property level saw a modest increase of 0.1%, with Central London shops and offices by far the strongest performers during 2011.

<description><![CDATA[London – 5th February 2010 – The latest CBRE Monthly Index, revealed a widely anticipated slowdown in the rate of capital appreciation of commercial property, following three successive months of record growth in the final quarter of last year.

Central London offices saw the strongest performance over the month, with total returns of 2.2%, around half of December’s 4.3% figure. By contrast, retail warehouses showed the most significant slowing in the rate of capital growth, seeing total returns up by 1.2%, their weakest monthly increase since June. All Property rental values were broadly flat over the month, being down only 0.1%, a possible early indication that demand in occupier markets may be becoming more positive.

This change is all the more notable given that the office market is also the sector experiencing the most significant rental decline, with nearly a third of the locations seeing a drop in prime office rents in the final quarter.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[London – 8th January 2010 – According to the latest CBRE Monthly Index, commercial property ended 2009 on an exceptionally strong note, with total returns of 3.9% for December.On an annual basis property saw positive returns of 4%, a massive turnaround on the largely negative expectations held during the first half of the year.  All Property capital values rose by 3.3% over the month, the largest single month’s growth in the index history, led by further strong performance of retail warehouses where intense investment demand meant capital values surged by a massive 6.1%. The six month spurt in retail warehouse performance has meant that values are actually 6.5% higher than they were at the end of 2008, with a total return of 15.6%, by far the best performer of 2009.  Central London offices also continued their strong performance in December, with capital value growth of 3.7%, leaving the annual figure only marginally down at -2.1% for 2009. Rental values continued to correct at the All Property level, with a further fall of 0.3% in December. On an annual basis this meant rental values are 8.9% lower than the end of 2008.

<link><![CDATA[http://www.cbre.co.uk/uk_en/news_events/news_detail?p_id=2779]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. today announced that, as expected, the European commercial real estate investment market continued its fall with turnover for the first quarter (Q1) of 2009 totaling €11.5 billion. This level of activity marks a sharp decline from the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2008, which saw market activity of €20.6 billion, and reflects, among other things, the continuing impact of Lehman Brothers’ collapse last September on investor sentiment. Despite the sharp fall in activity, a slowing rate of decline in the UK and a pick-up in activity in several other European markets suggest investor sentiment may be starting to improve. The UK’s share of the European market increased to 37% in Q1 2009, up from 26% in Q4 2008.

<link><![CDATA[http://www.cbre.co.uk/uk_en/news_events/news_detail?p_id=2063]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Commenting on the MPC’s unprecedented of 1.5 percentage point tin interest rates, Peter Damesick, Head of UK Research at CB Richard Ellis, said:  “Today’s cut in base rates has re-lit the light at the end of the tunnel for commercial property. The size of the reduction reflects three things: first, that the MPC had been seriously behind the curve in responding to the gathering pace of the UK economic downturn.  Second the Committee is now very concerned about the likely depth of the downturn, And third, with the credit markets still frozen, it shows the Committee felt a big cut was needed to achieve the required monetary easing.”

<description><![CDATA[CB Richard Ellis Southampton has been appointed by its London sister company CB Richard Ellis Investors to market a 3,880 sq ft office suite on the first floor of 1650 Parkway, Solent Business Park.

Senior Surveyor Emma Lockey comments.

 “CBRE’s ethos of using its local experts to market local properties enables the regional offices maximise exposure.  A suite of this size on Solent Business Park is generating significant interest as the park has seen a dramatic reduction in available space over the last couple of years.  Occupiers can see the benefit of the location and its facilities as well as its excellent motorway access.”

Three-quarters of grocery pipeline floorspace will be developed outside town centres, with the remainder to be built in town centres.

The relatively steady grocery pipeline over the last few years has masked major share shifts between the main grocery operators, causing changes in local shopping patterns, further concentrating main grocery shopping activity.

<link><![CDATA[http://www.cbre.co.uk/uk_en/news_events/news_detail?p_id=794]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Spending on the High Street slowed last month reflecting weaker demand across all but one sector, as consumers held back from making purchases. Retail sales volumes fell by 0.1% between September and October. Less volatile quarterly and annual growth saw sales up by 1.4% and 4.4% respectively. Consumer confidence also fell marginally last month. Rising fuel and food prices pushed consumer price inflation to 2.1% in October, above the Government’s 2% target. Interest rates remain unchanged at 5.75%.

•Increasing build costs

•Costs of ‘Going Green’

Our "Barriers to Building" series will examine these in detail; the first in the series looks at the Section 106 agreements. ]]></description>

<link><![CDATA[http://www.cbre.co.uk/uk_en/news_events/news_detail?p_id=754]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Our research demonstrates that the section 106 process is a significant barrier to developments.
In London, the large increase in planning permissions for new housing has not been reflected in the number of new homes being built. This partly due to delays caused by lengthy Section 106 negotiations. As much of the new housing development is expected on very large sites, these problems will only become worse.

<description><![CDATA[The All Property average prime yield rose 30 basis points to 5.1% in Q3 according to latest CB Richard Ellis Prime Rent & Yield Monitor.  Yields now stand at levels last seen in Q1 2006 with all sectors recording falling capital values in light of a significant re-pricing throughout the commercial property market in Q3. All High Street shop yields softened 30 basis points in Q3 with only Central London bucking the wider trend as the average prime High Street shop yield in the Capital was unmoved 4.3%.  Both the All Office and All Industrial average prime yield moved out 40 basis points in the three months to September.   

Alongside this present negative investor sentiment towards UK commercial real estate, rental performance across all property sectors has come under-threat following downward revisions to UK economic growth in 2008, initiated by fears of a significant slowdown in the US.  All Property quarterly rental growth was 1.1% in Q3, and 7% year-on-year - the bulk of the impetus remaining in the core Central London office markets.

<title><![CDATA[CB Richard Ellis comments on latest ons quarterly institutional property investment]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://www.cbre.co.uk/uk_en/news_events/news_detail?p_id=580]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Institutions invested over £1.2bn into commercial property over the second quarter of 2007, up from a net disinvestment of £300m the previous quarter.  This level of investment is the strongest since Q3 2006 and is in line with a trend of resurgent investment levels in Q2 over the last three years.For the first time in a year, all three institutional groups were net investors over the three months to June.  Unit and Property trusts continue to dominate however, with net investment of $688m, largely on par with last quarter.  Insurance funds acquired a net £500m over the quarter, following three months of disinvestment.  Insurance companies are historically most active in Q2 and therefore this probably does not represent any dramatic shift in strategy.  Whilst positive, net investment by pension funds was negligible but a sharp contrast to the withdrawal of over £900m from commercial property over the previous two quarters.

<description><![CDATA[Spending on the High Street was driven by discounting last month. Retail sales volume growth rose by 0.6% between July and August, ahead of expectations. The largest increases over the month were recorded by clothing, food and other non-food outlets. The quarterly trend in sales growth remains robust, with sales up by 1.3% in the three months to August. Interest rates remained unchanged at 5.75% for the second consecutive month. The Consumer Prices Index fell marginally last month to 1.8%, due to reductions in energy bills and lower clothing and footwear costs. Inflation remains below the Government’s 2% target.

<description><![CDATA[The All Property average prime yield remained stable at 4.8% in Q2 but some sectors showed signs of easing given the recent widespread negative sentiment towards UK commercial real estate.   The All Industrial yield eased out to 5.5% in Q2 –this was the first upward movement in industrial yields since Q4 2001.  Softening regional office yields were offset by a buoyant Central London market while Retail yields remained relatively flat.
In light of the upward movement in interest rates, property now has a negative yield gap of -0.6% with bonds.   
Spurred on by the surge in Central London office rents, All Property quarterly rental growth was 2.3% and 6.9% year-on-year in Q2.  The capital’s prime High Street shopping locations also reported very strong rental growth over the quarter, far exceeding the muted rental conditions recorded elsewhere within the regions.

There was however some evidence to support projections of an imminent correction in market pricing given the rising yields reported in the regional office markets and the industrial sector – the first witnessed in over 5 years.  ]]></description>

<link><![CDATA[http://www.cbre.co.uk/uk_en/news_events/news_detail?p_id=373]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Evidence from the CB Richard Ellis July Monthly Index indicates that Property returns are slowing, reflecting the recent upswing in both swap rates and benchmark government yields.   With the moderation in investment flows into property and the consequent end of yield driven capital growth, All UK Property returned 5.2% in the first six months of 2007 according to the CB Richard Ellis July Monthly Index, down from 9.5% and 8.5% recorded in H1 and H2 respectively in 2006.  In recent years, although commercial property has benefited from a greater depth and diversity of capital sources, property’s current negative yield gap with gilts has begun to undermine the assets attraction.  In turn, the All Property capital value growth in the year to June 2007 was 2.7%, down from 6.6% in the same period last year.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[All Property rental and capital growth were 0.6% and 0.5% in June, bringing the YTD figures to 2.3% and 2.7%.  Offices performed strongest with a total 6-month return of 7.5%, compared to 3.8% and 4.1% for the Retail and Industrial sectors respectively.  A negative yield impact for Rest of UK Offices resulted in a slight decline in capital values, but yields for prime property remain stable.  The year-on-year All Property total return slipped from 15.5% last month, to 14.2% in June.

The MPC increased the bank rate to 5.75% in July which has pushed five year swap rates to a seven year high of 6.2%.  The benchmark gilt yield is also at a recent high of 5.5%, up 70bp from the beginning of the year.  Compared to an All Property equivalent yield of 5.4% on the June Monthly Index, property's negative yield gap continues to widen.  

•The FTSE All Share has returned 7.6% in the first half of the year outperforming commercial property.  However, in June, property was the strongest performer with a return of 0.9% against negative equity and gilt returns.

<link><![CDATA[http://www.cbre.co.uk/uk_en/news_events/news_detail?p_id=283]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Shopping centre pipeline levels rose in the last 6 months reaching their highest level since the early 1990s, with increases at all stages of the planning process. Most shopping centre development continues to be concentrated in town and city centres due to planning constraints. The majority of shopping centre floor space in the pipeline will be completed over the period 2008-10, with the level of floor space scheduled to open at its highest in 2008, due to a number of particularly large schemes. 

Mixed use schemes containing leisure and residential uses are becoming more common due partly to the lack of quality solus sites. Additionally, they have become increasingly important for securing planning consents and in assisting the financial viability of schemes.

<title><![CDATA[CB Richard Ellis comments on latest ONS quarterly institutional property investment]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://www.cbre.co.uk/uk_en/news_events/news_detail?p_id=383]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Institutions were net disinvestors to the sum of £600m in the first quarter of 2007 according to the ONS, following strong investment of over £2.8bn in 2006.  This level of investment is in line with a trend of Q1 net disinvestment for the past four years.  Unit and property trusts were the only net investors in Q1, increasing their exposure to property by £730m; this is the strongest first quarter figure on record and further positions retail funds as a dominant buyer in the current market.  Following relatively flat investment in Q4, insurance companies withdrew almost £800m from the market in the first quarter of the year, whilst pension funds reduced their exposure to commercial property to the value of £600m, marginally more than the previous quarter.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Retail sales saw modest growth of 0.4% last month, as all sectors saw improved sales, with the exception of clothing and footwear hit by poor weather.  Household goods and internet sales were the strongest performing sectors over the month. Underlying growth remains robust with sales volumes up 1.1% in the three months to May. Prices eased last month with both the RPI and CPI indices slowing to 4.3% and 2.5% respectively.

<link><![CDATA[http://www.cbre.co.uk/uk_en/news_events/news_detail?p_id=267]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[All Property rental and capital growth were both 0.4% in May, supporting a monthly total return of 0.8%.  Central London offices were the main driver of growth with annual returns of 25.8%, while Outer London/M25 and Rest of UK offices continue to lag.  Annual All Property rental growth has increased from last month's six year high of 4.7% while capital growth has continued to moderate as yields find a floor.  Total return for All Property was 15.5%.

 

As further increases in the bank rate remain a strong possibility, 5 year swaps have now risen to their highest rate in six years, hovering around 6.0%, up 85 basis points in the last 12 months.  The benchmark gilt yield also rose 20bp to 5.2% in May as fears of global interest rate rises persist.  Compared to an initial All Property yield of 4.6% on the May CBRE Monthly Index, property’s negative yield gap has widened considerably in recent months. 
 
•Equities were the strongest asset class in May returning 2.8%,  with the FTSE All Share outperforming property for the first time this year with an annual return of 21.7% compared to 15.5%. ]]></description>

London remains the world’s most expensive location, and EMEA dominates the Top 50 list, with 33 markets.  Further, whilst rental growth is most common in the Asian markets, it is starting to increase across Europe, with Sofia and Belfast registering in the top ten fastest growing markets.

<description><![CDATA[Retail sales fell by 0.1% in April largely due to a decline in household goods sales. Internet traders and clothing retailers were the strongest performing sectors over the month. Despite retail sales growth falling between March and April, quarterly growth remains robust. Sales in the three months to April were up 1.2%, compared with 0.5% reported in the previous quarter. Interest rates increased earlier this month to 5.5%, in response to rising inflation. Prices on the High Street continue to rise with much of the increase being achieved by grocers rather than non-food retailers.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[An underlying strength in demand continues to drive both Manchester and Liverpool. Manchester experienced further pre-let activity in Spinningfileds and, while Liverpool was without the one major annual letting transaction that it has come to expect, take-up of grade B space filled the void. Rents in Manchester held firm at £28.00 per sq ft while Liverpool continued on the path of growth and ended the year at £20.00 per sq ft.

Strong take-up of prime space in Manchester drove investment volumes almost four fold on 2005 levels. The year ended with circa £850m transacted, compared with £255m during the previous year. Liverpool also had a strong year and has made its way on to many investors lists through a combination of capital investment pouring in to the city and strong rental growth

<description><![CDATA[All Property rental and capital growth were both 0.4% in April, driving an all property return of 0.8%.  Annual all property rental growth rose to 4.6% from 4.3% in March, with significant rental growth restricted to the Central London and M25 office markets in April.  However the annual All Property total return continues to ease reflecting slower capital growth in both retail and industrials in particular.  Annual All Property capital growth was 10.6% in April from a peak of 14.2% in July 2006, producing an annual All Property total return of 16.3% in April.

<link><![CDATA[http://www.cbre.co.uk/uk_en/news_events/news_detail?p_id=251]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[The housing market gathered considerable momentum during 2006 and this has carried into the first quarter of 2007. Buoyant conditions are reflected in a high level of transactions. This has driven price growth and added over £3,500 to average property values so far this year.  This 2.2% price increase in the first quarter of this year is in line with our earlier forecast of around 7% house price growth for 2007. 

Despite the current buoyant conditions, we expect the housing market to cool somewhat this year. This will largely be driven by increasing affordability problems, which will be exacerbated by recent (and any future) interest rate rises. Although too early to call a turn in the market, there are tentative signs that the market is already slowing. In particular, mortgage approvals dropped slightly in March and house price growth has moderated slightly from its highs of last year.

<link><![CDATA[http://www.cbre.co.uk/uk_en/news_events/news_detail?p_id=249]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Prime office rents are rising at their fastest rate in over 5 years and demand for European offices remains healthy, according to CB Richard Ellis’ latest EMEA Offices Market View. 

“After a high level of take-up in Q4 2006, it is not surprising that demand moderated slightly in the early part of this year” commented Nick Axford, Head of EMEA Research & Consultancy at CB Richard Ellis.  “Activity levels are still healthy and in many cases in line with, if not higher than, the equivalent period of 2006, so this should not really be regarded as any kind of slowdown”, Axford added.

The CB Richard Ellis EU-15 Office Rent Index registered an increase for the ninth successive quarter. This represented growth of 1.8% quarter-on-quarter and 7.2% year-on-year, the highest annual growth achieved since late 2001. The sustained uplift has been underpinned by the fact that twelve of the 38 European markets included in the index recorded rental increases this quarter and that, in contrast with the previous quarter, none of the markets saw a decline. The highest rental growth levels were recorded outside the EU in Moscow and Oslo, but double-digit rental growth also occurred in Warsaw and Istanbul. These emerging markets are being driven by occupier expansion and rapid economic growth.

<link><![CDATA[http://www.cbre.co.uk/uk_en/news_events/news_detail?p_id=245]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[The average prime equivalent yield on UK commercial property remained stable at 4.8% in Q1 2007, but showed signs of edging out.  High Street shop yields rose 10 basis points to 4.6%, the first rise in shop yields in five years.  This outward movement in shop yields was primarily evident in smaller retail centres.  Office, industrial and retail warehouse yields were stable in Q1. 

 

Having enjoyed a positive yield gap over bonds since 1997, property yields at the end of Q1 were 10 basis points lower than the 10 year gilt which rose 20 basis points to 4.9% over the quarter.

 

All Property quarterly rental growth was 1.7% in Q1, a result of the continued upswing in the Central London office market.  Annual growth of 5.4% was the strongest figure since 2001.  Rental growth in the retail and industrial sectors remained muted.

<description><![CDATA[Further reductions in availability pushed the vacancy rate in the Central London office market down to 3.6%, its lowest level since 2001.  This is supporting rapid rental growth, with prime rents up by an average of 17.5% over the past year.  While aggregate take-up in the first quarter was down compared with the very high levels seen in the second half of last year, the volume of space under offer rose sharply, suggesting that leasing activity will pick up again in the short term.

The underlying trend in sales growth remains strong. Sales in the three months to March were up 4.5% compared with a year earlier. Recent interest rates rises have yet to impact on consumer spending. Further interest rate rises are expected following the rise in inflation indices last month, which is expected to ultimately slow discretionary spending.]]></description>

Rental values in Central London offices performed strongly in Q1 with growth of 4.1% surpassing 2.1% in the same period last year.   Whilst easing from the robust performance figures of 2006, the strength of the office sector should support solid returns through 2007.]]></description>

<link><![CDATA[http://www.cbre.co.uk/uk_en/news_events/news_detail?p_id=232]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Warmer weather contributed to an increase in sales of clothing and DIY and gardening goods, with food trade also strengthening last month. Compared with the same period a year earlier, UK like-for-like retail sales were up 3.9%. However, this was inflated by weak sales at the same time a year earlier,when trade fell by 1.4%, due to Easter falling in April 2006 compared with March the year before. Easter appears to have boosted sales. Trade of food increased prior to the holiday break, after dipping slightly in February from January’s six-month high. In other non-food sectors, home and leisure recorded mixed sales with some being discount driven. Demand for electrical goods was flat. CBI retail sales released earlier this month, also reported an increase in trading over the two week survey period between 27thFebruary -14thMarch. DIY and retailers selling hardware and household appliances reported the strongest growth in demand. Consumers continue to hold-back on making big-ticket expenditure with savings intentions remaining high. Although the Monetary Policy Committee decided to hold interest rates at 5.25% earlier this month, another interest rate rise later in the year cannot be ruled out. Along with increases in costs, this would be expected to slow consumer spending...]]></description>

<link><![CDATA[http://www.cbre.co.uk/uk_en/news_events/news_detail?p_id=223]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Following net investment in Q2 and Q3 2006 of £1.6bn and £1.5bn respectively, Q4 was modest at £340m but largely in line with the same period in 2005.  Despite disinvestment of £810m in Q1, 2006 net investment of £2.6bn was the highest level of institutional investment since 2000. Unit and property trusts continued to be the strongest supporters of the commercial property market with their 14th consecutive quarterly net investment, £900m in Q4 brought the annual figure to £2.4bn.  Minimal activity of £30m in Q4 meant insurance companies invested £620m in 2006, an improvement from disinvestment of £1.2bn in 2005.  Pension funds withdrew £580m from commercial property in Q4, the same as they had invested the quarter before, leading to £400m total disinvestment in 2006.  

Having surpassed the £1.1bn level in 2005, net investment activity in 2006 demonstrates a continued appetite from retail investors to gain exposure to UK commercial property.  This marks a shift in investor focus from traditional life funds towards more liquid unitised vehicles. Following three years of disinvestment, insurance companies showed a renewed interest in the market as competition from debt-backed buyers slowed against a background of rising interest rates.  Institutional investment is expected to moderate in 2007 but remain solid, partly in response to unspent property allocations from the retail investment funds.

<description><![CDATA[Retail sales saw a rise of 1.4% between January and February driven by spending in the clothing and household goods sectors, the strongest monthly growth since January 2005. Three monthly data also supports an upward trend with internet retailing continuing to outperform all other sectors. Recent rises in interest rates and household bills have yet to impact on consumer spending. The rate of inflation continues to rise on the High Street with the shop price index up 1.8% in February compared with a year earlier, although prices in London still remain lower than the UK as a whole.

<link><![CDATA[http://www.cbre.co.uk/uk_en/news_events/news_detail?p_id=221]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Take-up was very subdued in February, at only 341,000 sq ft across Central London, reflecting low levels of letting in the West End and an absence of significant pre-lets.  Take-up for the first two months of the year therefore totals less than 1m sq ft. 
Space under offer at the end of February rose to 3.6m sq ft the highest level since March 2006, a positive sign after an otherwise lacklustre start to the year. 
The top deal in the City was 37,000 sq ft at 21 New Street, to the City of London Police.  In the West End the largest letting was 22,000 sq ft to Providence Equity at 28-29 St George Street, which attracted a rent of £95.00 per sq ft. 
Overall supply in Central London rose only slightly to 12.8m sq ft. The rise was mainly confined to the City market due to the space currently under construction at 201 Bishopsgate and 20 Gracechurch Street coming to the market, totaling 669,000 sq ft. This was counteracted by a fall in availability of new space in the Southbank market, the only one to experience a decrease during February. 
Development completions are set to rise strongly.  Around 4.7m sq ft is due to complete this year, nearly half of it already pre-let.  Nearly 6m sq ft is scheduled to complete in 2008.  Currently only around a quarter of this is pre-let, but commitment on more of the speculative space is expected before completion.
