Property Returns Show A Slight Increase

All Property Total Return for the month to 30th September 2012 has according to the IPD UK Monthly Property Index shown 0.2%. Income return is stated at 0.6% but capital growth over the month is a negative 0.4%.

Overall UK property is generally forecast to deliver a return of only around 1% in 2012 as commentators’ expectations are revised down.

David Mundy, Investment Partner at Mellersh & Harding comments that "whilst prime yields have remained fairly steady during 2012, the more secondary properties are seeing the yields move out as risk is being re-evaluated by purchasers. We continue to advise buyers and sellers on commercial property investment throughout London and the UK and there is no doubt that quality of tenant and length of lease are of particular importance to all purchasers at the current time."
