Market outlook for 2013
• Minimise letting risk over the next 3 years
• Continue early occupier intervention to minimise void
• Secure income streams with imbedded growth (RPI or fixed increases)
• Capitalise on capital starved assets
• Focus on strong fundaments
• Lower cash holdings
• Growing optimism, but little in the way of new development
• Banks maintain an increasingly pro-active stance to exit underperforming loan positions
• Debt availability easing with UK institutions to play a larger part
• Good assets continue to outperform, due to selective occupiers and investors
• Selective opportunities to buy secondary at deep discounts

April 2013 12
Industrial markets
• From a low base, importing and exporting activity expected to recover from this year
• Supported by gradual improvements in manufacturing output
• Trade park tailwinds are strengthening
• Structural change in ecommerce is supportive:
- Implications to covenant strength and locational premia
- Automation requirements will support longer leases
- Dark stores, urban distribution centres and new collection formats are key opportunities
- Regional characteristics – we can target areas with affluence, population density, broadband etc that are most likely to abide for new formats
- Upside risk to our forecasts

Office markets
• Prime London looking expensive while asset management opportunities remain compelling
• South East offices look better value supported by attractive yields and anticipated rental growth
• Occupier demand remains lease event driven in general but growth within tech, science and some business services
• Concern over markets beyond South East – in general – but outperformers identifiable by robust economic and demographic analysis
• New supply and development limited across the UK increasing polarisation between grades of stock and obsolescence risk
