"Despite headwinds in the form of growing global inflation, €762m was invested in the Irish property market in the first quarter of the year. Read more in our latest report. "

"834,000 sq ft of industrial and logistics property transacted in Q1 – 33% higher than the five-year Q1 average and an increase of 59% compared to Q1 2021. This is according to a new report from property advisor, Savills Ireland that forecasts a vacancy rate of just 0.7% before the end of the year – a record low."

"Northern Ireland’s investment volumes rebounded strongly in 2021 with £300m transacting, representing a growth of 121% on 2020 and the highest annual turnover since 2017. Read more in our latest report."

"2021 was a year of two halves, with Q3 and Q4 contributing 89% of total year volumes, as lockdowns at the start of the year effectively stalled the market. However, the combination of more robust levels of take-up in Q4, the full return to the office, and positive forecasts for employment growth are all providing tailwinds for the year ahead and contributing to an overall positive sentiment in the office market. "

"While issues such as planning uncertainty and cost inflation continue to present challenges for the market in general, demand is nevertheless very strong for the right parcels of land. "

"Take-up totalled 2.3m sq ft in 2021, with leases of new stock accounting for almost half of annual take-up. This underlines the market's reliance on new builds to drive activity, suggesting an increase in delivery would drive stronger take-up. "

"Increasing clarity on the pandemic and accommodative quantitative easing policies provided strong tailwinds to the investment market last year and these trends are analysed in detail in this report."
