At a European level, the UK overtook Germany for the first time since 2021 as the country with the strongest expectations for total property returns.
The study stated that more than half of investors expect purchasing and selling activity to either increase from 2022 or remain the same, signalling a degree of optimism.
Among the main challenges are fears of a recession, mismatched expectations between buyer and seller and tightening credit conditions. High inflation is also one of the great challenges for investors in 2023.
In terms of types of property, office buildings are expected to create more return on investment. 29 percent of investors opted for offices, 25 percent for residential properties and 23 percent for industrial.
To a lesser extent were commercial properties and hotels, with 8 percent each.
