Interesting article about Brexit Impact and the effects on Real Estate investment, Architectural Services and property development in the United Kingdom. This is conducted by Bisnow. This article evaluates the effects of architectural services and investments in this field.

The liquidity of the London investment market is at a low not seen since the depths of the financial crisis. In spite of protestations from market participants that there is a wall of capital waiting to invest in the city. This is according to new data from Real Capital Analytics. This would truly affect property development and also architectural services that come alongside this field.

According to RCA’s latest Capital Liquidity Scores report, Central London liquidity is at a level last seen in 2009. The buyers holding back because of the deep political uncertainty created by Brexit negotiations. Therefore, Property Marketing is now playing a more important and challenging role. As now the developers have to convince the buyers that Brexit will not be the biggest threat.

Central London stands out as one of two major markets where liquidity is below its long-term average.” Tom Leahy, RCA’s senior director of EMEA analytics, wrote in the report. “It is now at a decade-low as both buyers and sellers wait for more Brexit clarity before they commit.”

“Liquidity is at the lowest level since 2009 and yields have moved out. For some, London will offer better value. Especially the long-term investor who takes the view that the market can ride out the Brexit storm. For other investors, the continued buoyancy of the Paris market is a strong buying indicator in itself.”

RCA uses six factors to measure the liquidity of a market:

  1. Volume.
  2. The number of unique buyers.
  3. The percentage share of global cross-border investment.
  4. The proportion of investment-grade deals.
  5. The proportion share of global market-maker investment and percentage share of zone market-maker investment.

Central London investment volumes have almost halved in the first three quarters of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, according to data from CBRE. Architectural Services are very important and determined right now as they can be a significant added value to development projects in the UK.
