The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

  • Over their usual Sunday drink at the St Bride’s Tavern, Bull and Bear view the Good, the Bad and the Ugly features of the current UK property market.

  • The MSCI/IPF Q3 and the CBRE October Monthly Performance numbers, which were published during the week, combined to make uncomfortable reading.

  • However, the recent hike in property yields and lower gilt yields has repaired some of the spread which will be required to attract buyers back into UK property.

  • Meanwhile, property funds are now being targeted for redemptions to help our domestic db pension funds realign their portfolio weightings following the LDI debacle last month.

  • Notwithstanding these headwinds, and the expectation of an unpalatable Autumn Statement on Thursday, Bull sees the opportunity to pick up ‘cheap’ deals.

  • Enjoy your Sunday.
