The Uk's Most Active Agents 2019

DTheeals Competition 2019 THE UK’S MOST ACTIVE AGENTS 2019

CBRE has made it four years in a row as the UK’s most active agent, establishing itself as the country’s pre-eminent dealmaker in what has been a turbulent period for the industry. The latest fi gures from Radius Data Exchange, which are based purely on deals numbers, offer an extensive breakdown of where the industry stands at national and regional levels as well as on a sector-by-sector basis. Interestingly, the only use type CBRE fi nished top in is retail where, despite all the high profi le occupier casualties, transaction volumes for the top fi ve agents remain higher than for their counterparts in the buoyant industrial sector, suggesting reports of retail’s collapse are somewhat exaggerated. Indeed, many of the regional winners got there largely by their focus on retail. But nationwide it is in offi ces where volumes are highest and this sector is topped by JLL, helping it to maintain its second place overall. Cushman & Wakefi eld remains in third while Knight Frank is a new entrant into the top fi ve after outperforming everyone in investments and fi nishing strongly in offi ces. In leisure and hotels, Fleurets has made it three wins in a row. Perhaps the biggest surprise can be found north of the border, where Shepherd Commercial has knocked Ryden from the overall top spot for the fi rst time in almost two decades. In Wales, meanwhile, Jenkins Best now rules the roost after edging past Lambert Smith Hampton in terms of overall transactions. It has been a strong year for the regional specialists. Out of the 11 geographic areas covered by the competition, only three have national agents topping the overall rankings.
