Birmingham Office Market - Latest Research from DTZ

November 25 2009

DTZ Research believe that pricing in the Birmingham office market is now approaching fair value, and is expected to offer investors attractive returns over the medium to long term by early 2010. The finding is the conclusion of recent modelling work used to assess whether market pricing in recent years has offered investors a return sufficient to compensate them for the cost and risk associated with commercial property investment.

The findings indicate that for investors with a ten year time horizon, current market pricing is offering investors an expected return of around 8.5 per cent, the most attractive prospective returns since 2001.

The current attractive returns present a stark contrast to the pricing available to investors buying before the current correction; in hindsight, it is clear that the market had been overpriced for the last ten years, with pricing especially high in 2006 and 2007.
