Commercial tenant demand drops off

Commercial property demand from prospective tenants fell in the fourth quarter of 2017, RICS UK Commercial Market Survey has found.

In Q4 22% more surveyors saw a reduction in enquiries compared to a rise.

Simon Rubinsohn, RICS chief economist, said: “The weakish tone to the Q4 survey results for the retail sector sits comfortably alongside the generally disappointing trading statements emanating from the high street in the run-up to Christmas.”
