Increased interest from investors in real estate

GLASGOW: As economic pressures start to ease, investors are prepared to release a wall of cash onto the commercial real estate market, according to a consultant. (Reported by news source)

Deal flow decreased in the second half of last year as investors took a break due to the conflict in the Ukraine and the financial upheaval brought on by the Truss mini-budget.

Interest among people with large cash stockpiles is being stoked by signs that inflation has peaked and that interest rates may stabilize.

According to the agency, Scotland's commercial property market saw trades of £2.395 billion in 2022, a 12.6% increase above the five-year average of £2.127 billion.

According to its study, 2017 was "a year of two halves," with 81% (£1.93 billion) of Scotland's overall investment activity wrapping up by the end of June. Compared to the same period in 2021, the second half had a 310% decrease.

Over the course of the year, offices, retail warehousing, and alternatives had the best performances.
