Commercial properties: What to expect in 2025

Property Investment Podcast Network

The year 2025 is projected to be a “good year” for commercial property investors, with strong evidence for market recovery, Knight Frank’s chief economist Ben Burston argues. In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, co-hosts Liam Garman and Emilie Lauer are joined by Knight Frank’s chief economist, Ben Burston, to unpack the network’s latest report, which forecasts the ins and outs of commercial property for 2025.

Ben emphasises that 2025 is “a good time” to buy commercial properties as the data shows the market is on the cusp of recovery, marking 2025 as a pivotal year for investors to capitalise on lower pricing levels.

The trio then delve deeper into the report’s seven recommendations, which include the market’s upcoming growth, the role of interest rate cuts, investor strategy, office vacancy rates, industrial property supply, the expected boom of the retail sector, and the future of build to rent.
