Britain\u2019s commercial property market remains robust despite the Brexit decision although a weaker economic outlook may see some prices dip over the next 24 months, ratings agency Moody\u2019s said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The report published on Monday says that the market experienced some significant uncertainty after June 23<\/a> in the medium term. However, it also says that solid fundamental are underlying the sector which will keep it stable, as Reuters reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“While political risk will keep market uncertainty high, commercial property sector fundamentals will remain robust in Europe. That said, a weaker macro outlook would take the steam out of the UK commercial property market,” said Ramzi Kattan, Vice President \u2013 Senior Analyst at Moody’s.<\/p>\n

“While we expect slower economic growth in the UK as a consequence of Brexit, we do not foresee a recession or \u2013 perhaps most importantly \u2013 a sharp increase in unemployment,” the report said.<\/p>\n

If the country manages to keep unemployment below 6%, the growth of employment would remain robust. This would support the demand for both housing and office space<\/a> with London experiencing a higher level of uncertainty due to the fact that firms might move elsewhere.<\/p>\n

However we expect those roles to take many years to migrate and total numbers may be relatively small, given that employment in London has increased by roughly 35,000 a quarter since 2012 despite a somewhat subdued economic recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Nonetheless, the weaker macroeconomic outlook may take some of the steam out of UK property markets: in our base case, we see UK prices remaining broadly stable overall, but expect price decreases in particular instances of up to 10 percent depending on property type, quality and location.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
