"From resilience to growth"

"West End sales performance remains mixed, with strong summer figures offsetting a softening in September"

"Stabilisation of occupational trends leads to improving investor interest however, consumer confidence remains fragile ahead of the Autumn Budget"

"Prospects for the retail sector look strong, with vacancies generally on a declining trend, and strong rental growth observed in prime areas. Inbound tourists continue to play an important role in shaping the market, especially for luxury and high-end retail. That said, non-prime areas have not seen similar levels of success, and vacancies in such areas are visible. On another note, the strong performance of high-end retail has spread to tourist hotspots, which could be areas with great potential for future growth."

"Positive sentiment is filtering through with more yields trending downwards"

"Investor appetite for retail assets strengthens as pricing begins to stabilise, improving liquidity and sparking a rebound in transactional volumes in Q2."

"Vacancy continues to come under downward pressure helping to drive rental growth, albeit the rate of this growth is starting to slow as performance normalises"

"Political change, base rate cuts, and attractive pricing are likely to drive rising non-domestic investor interest in the UK"
