According to our survey of high net worth real estate investors and private family offices, predominantly based in the UK, property as an asset class is well positioned to weather economic uncertainty and on average these investors are looking to increase their allocation to real estate by 25% in the next 12 months. 86% have increased or kept their allocation the same in the last 12 months.
Results also showed sustainability as an important consideration for our investors, with 41% saying they already or will factor it into investment decisions.
Daniel Austin, CEO and Co-founder of ASK Partners said:
"The investors we surveyed are clearly showing a strong appetite for real estate despite the current economic climate. In times of volatility and particularly high inflation, investors have traditionally turned to real estate as an asset class and we are pleased to be able to continue to offer attractive real estate debt opportunities on our platform. We were delighted to see an increase in the importance of sustainability in investors' decision making and as a result environmental concerns will become a more significant part of our evaluation process."
