  3. Introduction Issue • Prime office rents are often questioned for lack of responsiveness to market pressures

  4. Introduction Prime office rents

  5. Introduction Issue • Prime office rents are often questioned for lack of responsiveness to market pressures • Some reasons • Smaller markets struggle to get evidence of declines • Less active market especially in quiet times • But see some example of this even in London • Asymmetric Properties of rental movement (Hendershott et al)2008 • Definitely something there but a quantifiable known is effective rents

  6. Introduction Effective rents • Incentives are used to hold up rents in downturns • It is in landlord’s interests to maintain headline rents • Supports capital value and provides a market floor • Provides a lock in value for developers • Market evidence used in rent reviews • Especially with upward only rent reviews • Impact and how to treat incentives for investment returns well documented (Brown) 1995

  8. Data Collection • Need to standardise approach Take account of standards – UK 3 month always free for fit out – Other markets in ‘turn key’ condition – No rent frees beyond first break (5 years in UK 3 years in Italy) • Standardise lease lengths at 10 years – No rent frees beyond first break (5 years in UK 3 • Calculate effective rent (((Lease length – (rent free period-fit out allowance))/lease length)*prime rent

  9. Models • From this we calculate an implicit rent series of rent free months and model this • Other variables used • Availability • Stock • Main driver of prime rent – not the rent itself • Lagged incentive

  13. Conclusions • Rents are similarly volatile at effective rents level • Some markets (UK) have used incentives a long time but other markets (Belgium) are using them more – particularly in difficult conditions • Some markets (Madrid) do not use incentives and thus appear more volatile

  17. Conclusions • Rents are similarly volatile at effective rents level • Some markets (UK) have used incentives a long time but other markets (Belgium) are using them more – particularly in difficult conditions • Some markets (Madrid) do not use incentives and thus appear more volatile • Incentives are being increasingly used and this trend will continue
