■ A notable deal from November was the purchase of 20 Moorgate, EC2 for £155m, 4.29% NIY and £979/sq ft. The property has been bought by Asian Growth Properties from Deutsche Fonds Holdings AG, and is currently single-let to Prudential Regulatory Authority on an assignment from Cazenove & Co Ltd, for a term of 12 years.

■ The second largest deal of the month was Chuang's China Investments Ltd purchase of 10 Fenchurch Street, EC3 for £80.0m, 4.44% NIY and £1,045/sq ft. Standard Life Investments sold the 76,541 sq ft city core building, which is currently fully let to 8 tenants including Hannover Services, Sugarman Group Ltd and Matthew Daniel (London) Ltd with a WAULT of 4.5 years.

■ To date in 2016 Asian purchasers have accounted for the highest level of turnover (50%), followed by European purchasers (18%) and UK purchasers (17%). The percentage share for US purchasers is still relatively low at 7%, while Middle Eastern purchasers have only accounted for 6% of City turnover. The remaining 2% is accounted for by purchasers from other nationalities.

■ Partly due to the currency shift following the referendum, we have seen increased activity from overseas purchasers, most notably from Asian investors. Since July, Asian purchasers have accounted for 54% of total turnover, while overseas purchasers have accounted for 85% of total turnover.

■ Since the referendum, 73% of the Asian investment acquisitions have been in the City Core, with an average lot size of £86.5m.
