- Industrial sector continued to lead the way with demand to lease up\u00a0 11% year on year and demand to invest up 12%<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 2026 outlook shows positive signs alongside predicted interest rate cuts<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand in terms of both leasing and investment for commercial real estate in the UK largely remained in positive territory in Q4 2025, despite the uncertainty caused by November\u2019s Budget, according to Rightmove\u2019s latest Commercial Insights Tracker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Growth in demand was lower than in both the previous quarter and the same period last year. However, this was in part down to the timing of – and extensive speculation about – the Labour government\u2019s second Budget, which took place unusually late on 26 November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was speculation in the months leading up to the Budget that there would be significant changes to the tax code, giving business leaders a reason to wait and see what would happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt seems that uncertainty in the run up to the Budget suppressed demand in some areas, but it\u2019s positive that it mostly continued to grow year-on-year,\u201d said Andy Miles, Managing Director, Commercial, at Rightmove<\/strong>. \u201cSome business leaders understandably delay their decision making when potentially large financial changes are just around the corner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nFigures for the last quarter of 2025 remain robust, perhaps surprisingly given the uncertainty caused by the Budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added: \u201cThere are positive signs ahead for the rest of 2026. Not only is demand largely higher than last year, but we are expecting to see further interest rate cuts starting later this year, which would help to make commercial property investment more attractive and viable to some investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s still a difficult cost climate for many businesses, but stable demand to lease commercial space and interest rate reductions for investors would help to create some momentum for the 2026 market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Budget did indeed include a major shake-up of the business rates regime. From April 2026, a new five-category multiplier structure will apply. Perhaps most prominently, it introduced a clear distinction between retail, hospitality and leisure properties and all other commercial properties, as well as a new band for high-value premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand to lease industrial property increased the most year on year, at 11%, followed by offices (2%) and leisure (1%). Leasing demand for retail properties fell by 4% over the same period. When it comes to investment demand, industrial fared best at a 12% increase, followed offices (4%) and retail (3%). Demand for leisure fell by 7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, supply across all sectors ticked up when it came to leasing and all but leisure in terms of investment. At a time when demand is muted – or at least more muted – this is, perhaps, to be expected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand to lease office space in some of London\u2019s key business locations dropped by more than the national average, another signal that some business leaders adopted a wait and see approach at the end of 2025 due to the Budget – although this could also be due to tight supply at the prime end of the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand to lease office space in the City of London dropped by nearly a quarter compared to the same period a year ago (-24%), while in Westminster it was a drop of 8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Darren Bond, Global Managing Director at Christie & Co<\/strong>, comments, \u201cWe are optimistic about the market outlook for our specialist sectors. The visibility and pipeline of transactions anticipated to happen in the first half of the year are encouraging when compared with the same period a year ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cThere is no doubt that cost pressures will continue to put a strain on businesses, and the economic environment will be more challenging in the year ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs long as demand remains at the current level, with bank funding readily available, then we see no reason why market sentiment shouldn\u2019t be maintained and even surpass the levels seen in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nInvestment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nQ4 2025 overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\nAutumn Budget doesn\u2019t dampen commercial property outlook for 2026<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Demand in both leasing and investment remained in largely positive territory, despite Budget\u00a0uncertainty<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Industrial sector continued to lead the way with demand to lease up\u00a0 11% year on year and demand to invest up 12%<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 2026 outlook shows positive signs alongside predicted interest rate cuts<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand in terms of both leasing and investment for commercial real estate in the UK largely remained in positive territory in Q4 2025, despite the uncertainty caused by November\u2019s Budget, according to Rightmove\u2019s latest Commercial Insights Tracker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Growth in demand was lower than in both the previous quarter and the same period last year. However, this was in part down to the timing of – and extensive speculation about – the Labour government\u2019s second Budget, which took place unusually late on 26 November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was speculation in the months leading up to the Budget that there would be significant changes to the tax code, giving business leaders a reason to wait and see what would happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt seems that uncertainty in the run up to the Budget suppressed demand in some areas, but it\u2019s positive that it mostly continued to grow year-on-year,\u201d said Andy Miles, Managing Director, Commercial, at Rightmove<\/strong>. \u201cSome business leaders understandably delay their decision making when potentially large financial changes are just around the corner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nFigures for the last quarter of 2025 remain robust, perhaps surprisingly given the uncertainty caused by the Budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added: \u201cThere are positive signs ahead for the rest of 2026. Not only is demand largely higher than last year, but we are expecting to see further interest rate cuts starting later this year, which would help to make commercial property investment more attractive and viable to some investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s still a difficult cost climate for many businesses, but stable demand to lease commercial space and interest rate reductions for investors would help to create some momentum for the 2026 market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Budget did indeed include a major shake-up of the business rates regime. From April 2026, a new five-category multiplier structure will apply. Perhaps most prominently, it introduced a clear distinction between retail, hospitality and leisure properties and all other commercial properties, as well as a new band for high-value premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand to lease industrial property increased the most year on year, at 11%, followed by offices (2%) and leisure (1%). Leasing demand for retail properties fell by 4% over the same period. When it comes to investment demand, industrial fared best at a 12% increase, followed offices (4%) and retail (3%). Demand for leisure fell by 7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, supply across all sectors ticked up when it came to leasing and all but leisure in terms of investment. At a time when demand is muted – or at least more muted – this is, perhaps, to be expected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand to lease office space in some of London\u2019s key business locations dropped by more than the national average, another signal that some business leaders adopted a wait and see approach at the end of 2025 due to the Budget – although this could also be due to tight supply at the prime end of the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand to lease office space in the City of London dropped by nearly a quarter compared to the same period a year ago (-24%), while in Westminster it was a drop of 8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Darren Bond, Global Managing Director at Christie & Co<\/strong>, comments, \u201cWe are optimistic about the market outlook for our specialist sectors. The visibility and pipeline of transactions anticipated to happen in the first half of the year are encouraging when compared with the same period a year ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cThere is no doubt that cost pressures will continue to put a strain on businesses, and the economic environment will be more challenging in the year ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs long as demand remains at the current level, with bank funding readily available, then we see no reason why market sentiment shouldn\u2019t be maintained and even surpass the levels seen in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nQ4 2025 overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\nAutumn Budget doesn\u2019t dampen commercial property outlook for 2026<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Demand in both leasing and investment remained in largely positive territory, despite Budget\u00a0uncertainty<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Industrial sector continued to lead the way with demand to lease up\u00a0 11% year on year and demand to invest up 12%<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 2026 outlook shows positive signs alongside predicted interest rate cuts<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand in terms of both leasing and investment for commercial real estate in the UK largely remained in positive territory in Q4 2025, despite the uncertainty caused by November\u2019s Budget, according to Rightmove\u2019s latest Commercial Insights Tracker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Growth in demand was lower than in both the previous quarter and the same period last year. However, this was in part down to the timing of – and extensive speculation about – the Labour government\u2019s second Budget, which took place unusually late on 26 November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was speculation in the months leading up to the Budget that there would be significant changes to the tax code, giving business leaders a reason to wait and see what would happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt seems that uncertainty in the run up to the Budget suppressed demand in some areas, but it\u2019s positive that it mostly continued to grow year-on-year,\u201d said Andy Miles, Managing Director, Commercial, at Rightmove<\/strong>. \u201cSome business leaders understandably delay their decision making when potentially large financial changes are just around the corner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nFigures for the last quarter of 2025 remain robust, perhaps surprisingly given the uncertainty caused by the Budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added: \u201cThere are positive signs ahead for the rest of 2026. Not only is demand largely higher than last year, but we are expecting to see further interest rate cuts starting later this year, which would help to make commercial property investment more attractive and viable to some investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s still a difficult cost climate for many businesses, but stable demand to lease commercial space and interest rate reductions for investors would help to create some momentum for the 2026 market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Budget did indeed include a major shake-up of the business rates regime. From April 2026, a new five-category multiplier structure will apply. Perhaps most prominently, it introduced a clear distinction between retail, hospitality and leisure properties and all other commercial properties, as well as a new band for high-value premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand to lease industrial property increased the most year on year, at 11%, followed by offices (2%) and leisure (1%). Leasing demand for retail properties fell by 4% over the same period. When it comes to investment demand, industrial fared best at a 12% increase, followed offices (4%) and retail (3%). Demand for leisure fell by 7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, supply across all sectors ticked up when it came to leasing and all but leisure in terms of investment. At a time when demand is muted – or at least more muted – this is, perhaps, to be expected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand to lease office space in some of London\u2019s key business locations dropped by more than the national average, another signal that some business leaders adopted a wait and see approach at the end of 2025 due to the Budget – although this could also be due to tight supply at the prime end of the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand to lease office space in the City of London dropped by nearly a quarter compared to the same period a year ago (-24%), while in Westminster it was a drop of 8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Darren Bond, Global Managing Director at Christie & Co<\/strong>, comments, \u201cWe are optimistic about the market outlook for our specialist sectors. The visibility and pipeline of transactions anticipated to happen in the first half of the year are encouraging when compared with the same period a year ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cThere is no doubt that cost pressures will continue to put a strain on businesses, and the economic environment will be more challenging in the year ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs long as demand remains at the current level, with bank funding readily available, then we see no reason why market sentiment shouldn\u2019t be maintained and even surpass the levels seen in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Industrial sector continued to lead the way with demand to lease up\u00a0 11% year on year and demand to invest up 12%<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 2026 outlook shows positive signs alongside predicted interest rate cuts<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand in terms of both leasing and investment for commercial real estate in the UK largely remained in positive territory in Q4 2025, despite the uncertainty caused by November\u2019s Budget, according to Rightmove\u2019s latest Commercial Insights Tracker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Growth in demand was lower than in both the previous quarter and the same period last year. However, this was in part down to the timing of – and extensive speculation about – the Labour government\u2019s second Budget, which took place unusually late on 26 November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was speculation in the months leading up to the Budget that there would be significant changes to the tax code, giving business leaders a reason to wait and see what would happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt seems that uncertainty in the run up to the Budget suppressed demand in some areas, but it\u2019s positive that it mostly continued to grow year-on-year,\u201d said Andy Miles, Managing Director, Commercial, at Rightmove<\/strong>. \u201cSome business leaders understandably delay their decision making when potentially large financial changes are just around the corner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Figures for the last quarter of 2025 remain robust, perhaps surprisingly given the uncertainty caused by the Budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added: \u201cThere are positive signs ahead for the rest of 2026. Not only is demand largely higher than last year, but we are expecting to see further interest rate cuts starting later this year, which would help to make commercial property investment more attractive and viable to some investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s still a difficult cost climate for many businesses, but stable demand to lease commercial space and interest rate reductions for investors would help to create some momentum for the 2026 market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Budget did indeed include a major shake-up of the business rates regime. From April 2026, a new five-category multiplier structure will apply. Perhaps most prominently, it introduced a clear distinction between retail, hospitality and leisure properties and all other commercial properties, as well as a new band for high-value premises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand to lease industrial property increased the most year on year, at 11%, followed by offices (2%) and leisure (1%). Leasing demand for retail properties fell by 4% over the same period. When it comes to investment demand, industrial fared best at a 12% increase, followed offices (4%) and retail (3%). Demand for leisure fell by 7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, supply across all sectors ticked up when it came to leasing and all but leisure in terms of investment. At a time when demand is muted – or at least more muted – this is, perhaps, to be expected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand to lease office space in some of London\u2019s key business locations dropped by more than the national average, another signal that some business leaders adopted a wait and see approach at the end of 2025 due to the Budget – although this could also be due to tight supply at the prime end of the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand to lease office space in the City of London dropped by nearly a quarter compared to the same period a year ago (-24%), while in Westminster it was a drop of 8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Darren Bond, Global Managing Director at Christie & Co<\/strong>, comments, \u201cWe are optimistic about the market outlook for our specialist sectors. The visibility and pipeline of transactions anticipated to happen in the first half of the year are encouraging when compared with the same period a year ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is no doubt that cost pressures will continue to put a strain on businesses, and the economic environment will be more challenging in the year ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs long as demand remains at the current level, with bank funding readily available, then we see no reason why market sentiment shouldn\u2019t be maintained and even surpass the levels seen in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
