Total investment volumes in the Dutch office, industrial and retail markets has jumped from €1.25 bn in H1 2013 to €3 bn in H1 2014, according to Savills.The figure marks a rise of 147%.

Office investment was particularly bouyant in Q2 this year, accounting for more than €1 bn in investment. Amsterdam accounts for 62% of commercial property investment spend, with The Hague a distant second, getting 8% of investment money spent in the country.

Clive Pritchard, investment director at Savills Netherlands, said, 'Investor demand has been increasing substantially in the Dutch market over the past five quarters and is expected to remain high. It is mainly the lack of good quality product, as we have seen in the retail investment market, which may hold the investment volumes back.'
