European real estate investment volumes are forecast to reach €53 billion in Q2 2026, a 6% year-on-year increase ➡️ http://savi.li/6047aD4WZ Lydia Brissy, Director in Savills European commercial research team, says: “Average deal sizes are expected to have increased during Q2, supported by several landmark acquisitions that demonstrate continued appetite for exceptional assets despite weaker overall market sentiment.” James Burke, Director, Global Cross Border Investment at Savills, says: “Although debt remains readily available for high-quality assets in Europe, lenders and investors are placing greater emphasis on income security, asset quality and pricing discipline. We anticipate that prime yields will remain stable across most sectors and countries during the remainder of 2026, with yield compression likely to be confined to exceptional assets.”

Initial thoughts on the new draft London Plan ➡️ http://savi.li/6047a8tdv The Draft Plan comes at a pivotal moment, where housing delivery in the capital is facing a perfect storm of challenges and the need to boost economic and industrial capacity is apparent.

At the same time, the limited availability of prime space in central locations is supporting rental growth, particularly for highly amenitised, energy-efficient buildings.” Mike Barnes, European Office Research Director https://lnkd.in/eBPctmY6
