    What’s in store for housing markets in 2025?

    Housing markets around the world have faced strong headwinds since the pandemic boom period. Household finances and purchasing power fell under pressure from surging household bills and higher borrowing costs, and the outlook for interest rates remains murky at best. So, what does the year ahead have in store for house prices in the UK and more broadly in Europe?   Host Anna Ward is joined by Knight Frank's head of UK residential research, Tom Bill, head of European residential research, Kate Everett Allen and head of ESG research, Flora Harley.   The panel are quizzed on how global housing markets are performing – key hotspots for 2025 and what the data is telling us. They share their views on whether house prices will rise or fall this year in key regions around the world – and their key 2025 predictions for the year ahead.  Prospect of Trump Presidency intensifies Labour’s mortgage market headache https://www.knightfrank.com/research/article/2025-01-13-prospect-of-trump-presidency-intensifies-labours-mortgage-market-headache   2025 Outlook: European real estate and political shifts https://www.knightfrank.com/research/article/2024-12-19-2025-outlook-european-real-estate-and-political-shifts   The ESG Outlook – what’s next for 2025? https://www.knightfrank.com/research/article/2025-01-09-the-esg-outlook-whats-next-for-2025 Produced by Ollie Peart at Rethink Audio.

    Will 2025 be a pivotal year for UK commercial real estate?

    After a challenging year, what is the outlook for UK commercial real estate in 2025 and has the market turned a corner? Anna is joined by our UK head of commercial research, Will Matthews, London research head Shabab Qadar and associate in retail research Emma Barnstable.   We hear from Emma on how attitudes towards the retail sector are the most positive they have been for years, with retail the best performing mainstream property asset class in 2024. Two-thirds of the Top 300 retailers are rated low-risk. Despite this, investment volumes last year fell short of 10-year averages. Could 2025 be a more profitable year for investors?   Shabab talks about how the London office market is at an inflection point, with investor sentiment stabilising, pointing to renewed activity into 2025, particularly for top-tier office spaces. The investment market is polarised, however, with demand strongest for prime office buildings in the top UK markets. In certain areas of the capital, there is a significant shortage of high-quality office space. Specifically, less than 0.5% of the available office stock in London's City and West End submarkets is classified as grade A. The panel also look at projections for overall investment volumes into UK commercial real estate this year, and discuss why new infrastructure projects present significant opportunities.
