Hedge funds boost take up

Take up by financial services groups, including hedge funds and banks, has risen from 21% of total take up in 2004 to 37% over the last year according to research by Cushman & Wakefield. The research has also identified the impact of the Government's Lyons Review which has effectively put a moratorium on public sector deals. In the West End the public sector share of take up dropped from 32% in 2004 to just 9% over the last year. In contrast demand from hedge funds has helped push the financial services sector share of take up in the West End up from 17% to 32% over the same period. David Hume at Cushman & Wakefield has said that the figures show an "extremely healthy" market. - (06-07-2006)

Latest markets views

The latest report from King Sturge sees no significant rental growth in the City of London until 2006 and indicates tenants are now getting up to three years rent free periods on long leases. Tenants are paying around £45 per sq ft in the City and £90 per sq ft in the prime areas of the West End (between Bond Street and Piccadilly). The City still has more than double the vacant office space of the West End making it a buyers market. Cushman & Wakefield Healey & Baker has estimated vacant office space at 18m sq ft in the City of London, making the vacancy rate about 13%. In the West End the vacancy rate is put at about 8%, with 7.4m sq ft of office space vacant. - (13-01-2005)
