Price trends for commercial property in 2013

by admin

The commercial property sector is showing signs of recovery in the UK, with the market witnessing its sixth consecutive increase in the month of October. According to Investment Property Databank Ltd, the average value of offices, industrial properties and shops increased by 0.6 percent between September and October of 2013. This is good news for owners who saw a total return of real estate value and rental income reach a rate of 1.1 percent.

The increases aren’t just located in the capital city either. Industrial units across the country are currently growing in value at a stable rate; however, the real success stories are being seen in the South East. The returns on commercial property here have actually outpaced the growth of the sector in central London.

Property agents are seeing commercial property reaping the benefits of economic growth. For example, office buildings witnessed a 0.9 percent increase, while warehouse values grew by 0.8 percent. Even the value of retail properties have seen signs of recovery with averages rising by 0.3 percent. Considering the recent trials and tribulations of the high street this is good news.

The increase in value of commercial property foots the overall trend seen in the job market and industrial sectors. Manufacturing and construction sectors grew last month, while British services increased at a quicker rate than any other time in the last 16 years.

The amount of unemployed people in the UK is currently dropping as more businesses find their footing and start to flourish. The number of jobless people actually declined to its lowest numbers since 2009 during 2013’s third quarter. Recent figures showed the unemployed amounted to just 7.6 percent in the UK.
