The Q4 2015 RICS UK Commercial Property Market Survey shows a continued rise in occupier and investment demand, albeit the latest results signal a slight softening in the rate of increase. Nevertheless, with supply failing to keep pace with demand right across the UK, capital values and rents remain firmly underpinned.
In the occupier market, demand for leasable space continued to rise across all sectors, as it has done in each quarter since the early part of 2013. According to survey feedback, momentum is greatest in the industrial sector at present, although tenant demand growth remains solid in both the office and retail areas of the market. At the same time, available space continues to fall significantly with the RICS supply indicator for the occupier market signalling an eleventh consecutive quarter of contraction.
