UK Logistics & Industrial Outlook

The UK Logistics & Industrial National Outlook report analyses quarterly UK industrial and logistics property activity across the UK including demand, market supply and pricing trends with an outlook to future trends in this property sector. 

Q4 Key Findings:

  • Occupier demand fell to 10.2 million sq ft during Q4 2022, a fall of 11% on the previous quarter, and taking total 2022 take-up to 54.5 million sq ft. Despite this fall 2022 remains the second strongest year on record, surpassing the then record of 52 million set in 2020.

  • Demand dynamics shifted markedly during the year, with manufacturing take-up growing by circa 30% on 2021 volumes. Simultaneously a fall circa 75% was recorded YoY was seen in the Ecommerce sector, owed to a fall in parcel volumes, and a lull since the sectors acquisitive spree during 2020 and 2021.

  • Availability rose for a second consecutive quarter, reaching 55.9 million sq ft. Despite this availability remains below the long term average, and supply shortages are most pronounced within the Grade B segment.

  • Investment volumes stalled considerably during Q4 2022 reaching just £1.3 billion, the second lowest Q4 since 2012. This was largely due to widespread uncertainty within financial markets, and period of pricing transition, seeing yields Q4 2022 decompress by circa 150bps.

European Macro Outlook: What’s in a number?

Two consecutive quarters of negative growth is the technical definition of a recession. There has been a great deal of debate on whether the economies of the euro area and the UK are in a recession. If growth remains flat or is revised down for the final quarter of 2022, the underlying truth is that growth for the euro area and the UK has been subdued. Although the near-term outlook looks brighter than many expected six months prior, some downside risks remain. We continue to expect a mild recession in the UK and the euro area. In this report, we break down our baseline economic forecast and the implications it will have on CRE property sectors over the next couple of years.

Unlocking First Generation Beds For Generation Z Students & Investors

Sharing two bathrooms with six or more people in a block whose main point of interest is the laundry, with rent at less than £100 a week, is a memory of student life for millions. The often underappreciated stock of Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) has historically not been the centre of attention for investors; however, we believe that this is about to change. First Generation beds make up a third of all beds in the UK.
