UK commercial property investment staged a small recovery This would generate total returns of -4.5% in 2020 (the first in Q3 to £8.1bn, up from £4.3bn in Q2. The figures for the first negative annual return since 2008) and +6.0% in 2021. three quarters of 2020 have been significantly bolstered by the Alternatives sector (notably Blackstone’s £4.4bn acquisition of the IQ Student Portfolio in Q1), without which just over £20bn was transacted – the most subdued since the financial crisis. There are disparities across property sectors, with retail and leisure investment volumes at record lows while the much more buoyant industrial segment notched up nearly £2bn in Q3 with a return of portfolio deals.

The market dislocation that we are witnessing will bring with it investment opportunities, and in a world of subdued returns those assets that best capitalise on these broad megatrends have the greatest alpha potential. Retail investment increased in Q3, but remains severely depressed, especially for shopping centres. The small tick John Rodgers up was driven by increased investment activity in the Partner less distressed sub-segments – namely retail warehouses, Tel. +44 (0)203 486 3467 supermarkets and some portfolio deals. Retail rental growth fell [email protected] into deeper negative territory in Q3, while anecdotal evidence suggests that late and non-payment of rents continues. The outlook is poor, with store closures at the start of the critical Christmas trading period, the worsening economic backdrop and as shoppers shift increasingly online. Total return is forecast to be -17.8% in 2020 but will compare favourably with the other property segments again by 2022 with investment market stabilisation and a relatively high income return. 4 INVESTMENT BRIEF ECONOMIC OVERVIEW The impact of the second lockdown in England in November (with similar restrictions in other £ parts of the UK) will be less severe than the first. Nevertheless, Oxford Economics expects GDP to fall by nearly 3% in Q4 and the 2020 GDP forecast has been revised down to -11.3% (from -10.3%), before a recovery of +5.2% in 2021 (from +6.7%). The pace of the initial recovery in early summer was strong after the initial lockdown measures were relaxed and GDP rose by 15.5% in Q3. But this figure masks a loss of momentum from August, despite support from the ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ scheme and the reopening of schools. In September, output was still more than 8% below its pre-pandemic level, with much of the services sector reporting significantly larger gaps. Business survey data pointed to a further loss of momentum in October as local Covid-related restrictions became more stringent. Manufacturing sentiment and output is likely to plunge in November. But given that the sector has not been forced to close, the drop in output is likely to be smaller than the fall in wider GDP and the overall fall in 2020 is set to be lower than for consumer spending. The Job Retention Scheme (furlough) has been extended to the end of March 2021, which will ease upward pressure on unemployment. However, participating in the scheme will cost employers more than it did in the first wave through national insurance and pension contributions. Ultimately, when this fiscal support is withdrawn, unemployment is forecast to peak at around 7% in Q2 2021 on the ILO measure. Recent news of effective potential vaccines should provide a significant boost in the fight against coronavirus, but the complexities of implementing a comprehensive inoculation programme suggests that any economic benefits are unlikely before H2 2021. The other key factors influencing the UK outlook are: sustained monetary policy support through further quantitative easing over 2021 and mooted negative interest rates that will keep bond yields below 1% through to 2023; very low inflation, which reflects the temporary VAT cut for the hospitality sector and generally weak domestic economic activity – this will provide a boost to household spending power; and extra trade frictions due to Brexit from customs bureaucracy and some regulatory barriers that will weigh on export competitiveness.
