520			_aVolumes levels in the City of London investment market reached £3.3bn in the first half of 2010, still significantly down on the boom years of 2005-2007. Investors from many countries are seeking prime and well located secondary assets. Cash influx and supply imbalance have caused downward pressure on yields. West End investment volumes totalled £980m in the first quarter of 2010 with UK buyers taking up 42% whereas in 2009 78% of central London purchases were by overseas investors. The severe shortage of new-build space is likely to worsen into 2011 encouraging pre-lets of buildings due in 2012. Central London's largest source of real estate capital this year is expected to be Qatar.
