520 _aRetail warehousing again produced the best returns (17.4%) of any property investment sector in 2002, as it has done in six of the previous 10 years (1993-1997) according to the "IPD UK annual index 2002". Retail returns rose to 14.1% from 5.5% in 2001, industrial returns to 10.8% but office total returns more than halved from 7.6% to 3.3%. Overall, property performed well in 2002 and the index confirms that property has been the best-performing UK asset in the past three, five and 10 years. Yields in 2002 improved whilst rents fell, something not previously noted by IPD since their records started in 1981. IPD index is available at http://www.ipdindex.co.uk/downloads/uk_annual_03.pdf
