THE CORE WEST ENDSEEKING A DISCOUNT FROMTO ATTRACT OCCUPIERSHAMMERSMITH CONTINUES
Below we set out details of some recent local investment transactions.
INVESTMENT MARKETJanuary 2019 saw space under offer in the West End at 1.2m sq ft, a figure well above the long-term average despite Brexit insecurities. Pre-lets accounted for 42% of the total with vacancy rates remaining at 3.9%.
Occupying a strategic location between the West End and Heathrow Airport, Hammersmith has directly benefited from severe supply constraints
in central West End submarkets attracting footloose occupiers keen to exploit its exceptional connectivity, comparatively low total occupational costs and ever-improving amenity provisions. Strong occupational fundamentals have seen large scale regeneration and development in Hammersmith with the recent arrival of exceptional mixed-use schemes from Aberdeen Asset Management, U&I, AXA, Kier and Investec.
2018 saw UK investment volumes hit £54.4bn, £6.2bn above the 10 year average, with London still the primary target for domestic and international capital driven by low inflation, weak sterling, low interest rates and increased credit availability. Far Eastern investors continued to dominate foreign investment accounting for c.£9bn of total investment in 2018.
Hammersmith is still widely classed as one of the most affordable Central London sub-markets with quality transport infrastructure, multi-million pound regeneration and strong occupational conditions drawing investors. Global uncertainty and a growing shift towards shorter, more flexible leases has driven increased appetite and seen yields contract for secure, long dated income streams which remain extremely scarce
