The UK economy has officially returned to recession shrinking 0.2% quarter-on-quarter in Q1 2012 after a 0.3% fall in Q4 2011. A fragile economic outlook continues to impact negatively on property occupier fundamentals and investor sentiment. Recent IPD monthly property indices show clearly that property valuations are beginning to reflect market conditions. Derivatives and listed markets signal weakness ahead for direct markets and occupational conditions remain subdued. Property investment is polarised between prime and secondary assets. Gilts are currently priced as safe haven assets and the yield gap with property should remain attractively wide.
