Occupier Market
The Occupier Sentiment Index returned a reading of
+29 in Q1, very similar to the previous figure of +32.
Consequently, this indicator continues to suggest occupier
market conditions are improving to a solid degree.
Investment Market
The Investment Sentiment Index moved to +37 in the latest
results, representing a slight easing on +45 in Q4. Although
this measure is still consistent with solid investment market
trends, it represents the most modest reading since 2014.
