London, 23 January 2011 – UK commercial property performance remained stable in the fourth quarter of 2011, despite continued economic uncertainty, according to new figures released by CBRE. Both occupier and investment markets remained neutral on fears that the economic recovery could reverse in coming quarters. Whilst prime retail occupier markets saw some deterioration this quarter, there was no headline decline at the All Property level, as industrial and office markets continued to see some improvements, at 0.4% and 0.1% respectively. This meant that over the year, prime rents at the All Property level saw a modest increase of 0.1%, with Central London shops and offices by far the strongest performers during 2011.
