In 2021, we asked: Is there a ‘new normal’ for real estate? As we continue to navigate the next phase of the pandemic, it’s clear the situation is still in flux. Our UK Cross Sector Outlook for 2022 gives insight into the trends and opportunities for the UK real estate sector, as well as the issues that are shaping the commercial, residential and rural sectors individually.

To add to an already complex set of challenges, the green agenda and social factors remain major priorities. COP26 has only accelerated conversations around the environment, and investors need to keep abreast of the desired criteria and government regulations. Otherwise, they potentially face owning stranded assets. Many investors are getting ahead now to future-proof their assets by upgrading them, changing their use or selling.

We know that challenges will persist as plans and priorities shift across all sectors. Our selection of top alternative assets this year taps into the trend for more holistic returns and reveals what we believe are key investment opportunities for 2022.

Except for single family Build to Rent, which remains one of our top picks from 2021, we present five fresh top picks for this year. We hope that you enjoy reading our latest report.

This year, our selection taps into the trend for more holistic returns.
