UK Commercial Property: Growing confidence in long-term outlook

The RICS UK Commercial Property Monitor for Q4 2023 revealed some growing confidence in its long-term outlook.

While mixed, the largest proportion of respondents in Q4 (33%) now believe that the market has bottomed out, seemingly aiding a slightly more positive long-term outlook.

While most of the market remains sluggish and lacking momentum, there are clear incremental improvements. Occupier demand remained negative overall (-7%), although less so than previously (-12% Q3), and although both the office and retail sectors remain relatively weak, sentiment has improved from Q3. Industrial demand remains positive although less so from previous highs.
