The report shows that prime UK property currently offers above-average investment prospects with London set to continue to deliver superior investment performance over the next five years.
The report includes analysis of the factors that contribute to making the UK such an attractive investment destination with a particular focus on London's office, retail, industrial and residential property markets. Relevant factors in this context are that occupier markets are improving, particularly in London and that the value of the pound sterling seems to have stabilised at a relatively low level.
Another positive factor is that the size and structure of the UK property market provides relative security of income for investors, in the current recession and beyond.
