Rising demand

This high demand low supply ratio also characterises the UK’s commercial property market. The chief economist at the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), Simon Rubinson, explained: “We’re seeing a solid increase in demand for commercial properties across retail, office and industrial sectors.
