UK Capital Markets 2020 Review and 2021 Outlook

Investment across the UK recovered well towards the end of 2020, following a period of very low activity through much of the first half of the year, a strong end to the year brought 2020 investment volumes to £42.7bn.

Following this strong finish to 2020, there is momentum in the investment market. We expect overall investment volumes to increase significantly as the recovery for the Covid-19 pandemic continues.

Andrew Frost - Head of UK Capital Markets

“The resurgence in the investment market over the latter part of 2020 was remarkable. Considering where we were after the first lockdown, to finish the year only 15% down represents an incredibly encouraging performance. Looking forward, we expect this bounce-back to broadly continue, albeit tempered to some extent by the return of stringent restrictions throughout much of the first half of 2021. The ‘three L’s’ of Living, Logistics and Life Sciences are attracting the greatest investor interest, and are likely to see the strongest performance over the year ahead.”
