UK Returns Fall Short of 20%

LONDON-UK commercial property returns for 2006 are expected to fall just short of 20%, Investment Property Databank predicts. The office sector also continues to lead the market.

The third quarter return of 3.8%, which was a slowdown on the 4.8% return in Q2, means that the 12-month rate currently remains above 20%, at 20.6% to be specific, and outstrips returns from UK equities and bonds, which earned investors 14.2% and 2.5% respectively.
