Irish and UK Commerical Property Outlook

    Hi,

    I'm curious on opinions about the outlook of the irish and uk commercial property markets!

    I've been trying to forget about my investment for a few years, but hearing about how commerical property has been diving and I know the outlook doesn't look good, I just had to look into it...

    Have a look at the graph showing the investment status to this date. If I get out now, I have about 10% gross return after early withdrawal charges for 2 1/2 years. Not fantastic, but not as terrible as it can be if I watch it just decline into negative value.

    Does anyone have any advice for me?

    thanks,
    Robert.

    The UK commercial market is nearing real value, but with further downside potential as part of the correction.

    Irish market way overpriced, plenty of downside, no upside.

    All IMO.

    What's the spread of properties? Locations? Covenants? Yields? How long till maturity?

    pure opinion again, but longer term stg could go to parity with the Euro, this could eat into your investment, a good medium term safe investment would be US gov bonds 4 to 5 year maturity, possible exchange gain as well as capital appreciation as there will be a continued move away from risky assets to top quality bonds.
