COMMERCIAL PROPERTY WILL OFFER ‘DOUBLE-DIGIT RETURNS’ IN 2014

Published: 06/02/2014

Commercial property will deliver double-digit returns for investors in 2014, according to an unusually strong consensus of analysts and fund managers.

With the onset of the financial crisis of 2007 some commercial property funds fell by as much as half as fears grew, but six years after the sector seems to have turned a corner, with many seeing it as a buying opportunity. Commercial property has generated an 8.9pc total return over the past year, and some of the best-performing fund managers ensure savers will pocket returns of 10pc or more in 2014.
