Take notes of property-linked variety this year - 2012 - Property Week 78(04) 27 January 2012, 36(1) .

2012 commercial property returns for the UK will be much lower than in 2011 as a consequence of tough retail conditions, the eurozone debacle and further employment contraction in the banking industry.

Graphs show negativity hitting implied UK returns, and balanced funds underperforming IPD All Property index.
