Now that 2015 has come to an end, it is time to look back and analyse how good this year has been for UK property investment. We can say that the UK property market remained in an upward trend in 2015, following the same pattern as 2014, and an important question to ask is whether this year the market will reach its peak.

According to a CBRE’s report published recently, after three years of strong growth, in 2015, the investment volume reached £70bn.

The total amount spent on real estate investment is more than double that of three years ago (2012), over the same period. CBRE also stated that activity dropped slightly in Q3, however this was more to do with lack of supply rather than a decline in investor interest.

In addition, the company said that the levels of investment are likely to remain stable this year, with similar figures compared to 2015, so it is much more probable to witness a stagnation in this market instead of a fall.

In general, all the principal commercial property areas have improved their performance. For example, in prime London outskirts, annual price increase fell to 3% in August, despite that the activity was stronger in markets with higher levels of UK demand.

In conclusion, the UK property market is continuing to grow steadily but surely and these details are just a sample of how UK property investment is always a very good option for investors who want to see their money grow safely.
