A GRI Barometer survey of the real estate industry’s leadership in the UK, run in early February 2019, posed the question: ‘What strategy are you employing, given the current business environment in the UK?’
Respondents represent a full range of investors, fund managers and developers at the most senior levels, including chairmen, CEOs, partners, managing partners and managing directors, all of whom invest in or have operations in the UK. While 53,6% of them indicate that their companies are only observing the scenario, 33,9% say that their companies are still investing or expanding their business – even in the face of changes and uncertainties, including those brought about by Brexit to the economy and the sector.
Asked further how they expect the UK’s real estate market to perform in 2019, 43.9% expect it to perform OK, 8.8% to perform well or very well, and 47.4% to perform poorly or very poorly.
The full survey may be accessed below. It includes respondents’ views on the outlook for the UK economy, which real estate sectors in the UK offer the best opportunities, and which sub-sectors they are tracking or investing in right now.
