With commercial property in the City of London<\/a> performing at its worst for some 20 years Landlords are dropping prices and becoming more flexible to encourage City take up.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recent reports by some of the leading commercial agents in the City have revealed that take up for the 1st<\/sup> quarter of 2009 is the worst that the market has seen since the last recession in the early 1990s.\u00a0 <\/span>Atisreal, Jones Lang Lasalle and CB Richard Ellis have all reported a significant decline in lettings since January with figures showing up to a 75% drop in take up compared to the 1st<\/sup> quarter of 2008.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In response, Landlords have been dropping prices with an increasing number of incentives leading to up to 25% discount rates at prime locations across the City.\u00a0 <\/span>Consequently occupiers are facing one of the most flexible letting markets in years.\u00a0 <\/span>Value for money and lease flexibility are at a high and reports in this week’s commercial and retail magazine Property Week<\/a><\/em> suggest that lettings could see a big increase towards the end of the year as occupiers gain confidence in the market.\u00a0 <\/span>Khalid Affara, managing director of Arab Investments<\/a>, told the magazine that viewing numbers remain healthy despite the bad take up figures, he commented; “There is a lot of pent up demand but people are afraid to jump too early.“<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile Serviced Offices<\/a> remain a very practical alternative to conventional leasing for companies looking for the most flexible lease terms available.\u00a0 <\/span>The UK’s largest serviced office operator Regus Plc is retaining strong financials despite the recession, having recently reported a 25% profit increase before tax for 2008.<\/span><\/p>\n
