The latest European rents and yields survey from King Sturge confirms that London and Paris lead the recovery with prime office rents up on the previous quarter.

Elsewhere in Europe most markets registered stable levels of occupier demand, although selective locations, in particular in Central and Eastern Europe, experienced further rental declines as demand for new office and industrial space remained subdued. Prime yields seem to have stabilised across most parts of Europe following the compression seen in the last 6 - 12 months. After a strong first half, investment activity is also slowing somewhat.

The European Property Indicators report from King Sturge is a quarterly survey of prime rents and yields in 26 locations in both the office and industrial markets.
