The latest Acuitus Commercial Property Auction Data (cPad) report tracks market activity and trends during the second quarter of this year.
Key findings include:
- Total auction sales reached £242m across 457 lots sold, bringing the cumulative total for the first three quarters of 2025 to £667.6m and 1,228 lots – a record for Q1-Q3 in the long running cPad data series
- Leisure assets continued their increased prominance making up 20.7% of sales for the quarter and 22.8% year-to-date, well above the 14.3% long-run average
- The Acuitus cPad All-Property Prime yield remained stable at 7.08% (little changed from 7.10% in Q2) with the Acuitus cPad All-Property Secondary yield standing at 11.13%; the yield gap remaining unchanged at 405bps
- However, it is important to note that careful pricing remains critical as investors are very sensitive to mispricing of assets which have a thin buyer appeal. Conversely, assets that are sought-after and are priced correctly continue to be in strong demand and often exceed seller expectations
