MARKET PERSPECTIVE - RESIDENTIAL

The RICS UK Residential Survey conducted in August 2021 indicates a slight reduction in activity which can be attributed to a reaction to the significant surge in sales recorded prior to the beginning of the Stamp Duty holiday phase-out, with an albeit controlled lifting of Covid restrictions this summer also playing a part.

When reviewed at a national level, whilst demand lessened across all regions in the last month of reporting, the outlook amongst survey participants still foresees a generally steady sales picture emerging over the near term, as the three-month expectations net balance remains unchanged at +4%, with longer term expectations for the next 12 months posting an upturn in demand of +7%.

The outlook for our region shows that we have one of the most positive expectations in the country, despite a review of the supply backdrop confirming a decline in the number of new listings which has remained negative in 8 of the past 9 months.

On the back of this, stock levels on estate agents books have dropped, whilst feedback points to market appraisals currently running at a slightly slower pace than the comparable period last year (net balance -10%).

The lack of available stock on the sales market is well reported and remains a key factor sustaining strong rates of house price inflation, where 73% of respondents to the survey reported prices increases over the latest survey period.

COMMERCIALLY SPEAKING

The latest RICS UK Commercial Property Survey again paints a picture of disparity in occupier demand across the various sectors, although the prevailing sentiment across all sectors is one of cautious optimism.

As with previous reports, the industrial sector continues to report growth in occupier investor demand. The industrial sector is suffering a lack of supply of available, leasable space, which is behind a forecast rental growth between +3% and +5% over the coming year.

Whilst demand for offices still remains in negative position at -3% overall, demand trends are more stable than in previous quarters. Nevertheless, prime and secondary office rents are forecast to fall between +1% and +3% over the forthcoming year nationwide.

Demand for retail property is reported at -25% across the country. The continued levels of available retail space is creating an oversupply, whereby retail rents are forecast to decline with country-wide expectations between -5.5% and -8% over the next 12 months. Locally, demand within the secondary retail market is bucking this trend which is helping to hold rents up.

Strong investor demand for industrial property is underpinning an expectation of continued capital value growth for this sector. The investment demand outlook for offices has improved, influenced by the easing of lockdown conditions and changes to permitted development rights for residential conversion. Locally, there remains strong demand for retail investments, particularly from cash buyers.
