UK Real estate – Overview Q1 2024

Returns and outlook

  • Total returns for the UK commercial property market turned positive in Q1 2024 with the MSCI UK monthly index recording a return of 0.6% (0.3% on a 12-month basis to March). Retail was the best-performing sector with a total return in the three months to March of 1.5%. Offices continued to struggle and were the only sector to register negative total returns in the first quarter, coming in at -1.4%.

  • All-property capital values declined by 0.8% in the quarter and by 5.3% on a 12-month basis. Despite ongoing economic headwinds, income returns remained positive in Q1 2024 at 1.5% (5.8% on a 12-month basis), demonstrating the resilient income credentials that underpin the UK commercial property market.

  • Income returns will underpin the expected improvement in total returns while yield-driven capital growth is likely to be limited, at least in the short to medium term. This will drive the continued divergence in performance across property types. Over time the benefits of looser monetary policy will increase activity, but the impact is unlikely to be seen fully until 2025. 2024 will continue to see the impact of the 515bps of tightening seen since late-2021 feeding through to the real economy.

  • The all-property net initial yield at the end of March 2024 was 5.6%, up marginally from 5.5% in Q4 2023. With the era of ultra-low interest rates behind us there is further value correction to come, although it is expected to bottom-out by the middle of the year. This, alongside more conservative loan to value ratios, increased margin costs and potentially elevated rates of under- and nonperforming loans, could see more instances of bank-forced sales creating further opportunity for market dislocation.

UK Real estate – Overview Q1 2024

Important information

For use by professional clients and/or equivalent investor types in your jurisdiction (not to be used with or passed on to retail clients). This is a marketing document. This document is intended for informational purposes only and should not be considered representative of any particular investment. This should not be considered an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any securities or other financial instruments, or to provide investment advice or services.
Investing involves risk including the risk of loss of principal. Your capital is at risk. Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. The value of investments is not guaranteed, and therefore an investor may not get back the amount invested. International investing involves certain risks and volatility due to potential political, economic or currency fluctuations and different financial and accounting standards. Real estate investing involves risks, including, without limitation: (i) actual operating results; (ii) interest rates; (iii) availability and costs of financing; (iv) economic and market conditions; (v) date of expected exit; (vi) increases in costs of materials or services beyond projections; (vii) force majeure events (e.g., terrorist attacks, extreme weather conditions, earthquakes, war); (viii) supply/demand imbalances; (ix) currency fluctuations; (x) litigation and disputes relating to investments with joint venture partners or third parties; (xi) changes in zoning and other laws; (xii) inability to obtain necessary licenses and permits; (xiii) competition; and (xiv) changes in tax law and tax treatment and disallowance of tax positions.

The value of directly-held property reflects the opinion of valuers and is reviewed periodically. These assets can also be illiquid and significant or persistent redemptions may requite the manager to sell properties at a lower market value adversely affecting the value of your investment.
