Market Update Q4 - UK

The market for investment properties is significantly lower than last year, primarily due to the high-interest rates experienced. However, there are signs that interest rates are stabilizing, especially as central banks have indicated that the peak is approaching. The rate of return for several property types and in various geographical areas has increased slightly since the last quarter. At the same time, forecasts for the levels in 12 months indicate further increases in the rate of return in many places. The observed rise in interest rates and decreasing activity are expected to result in lower vacancy rates for investment properties.
