This analysis of the Knight Frank Intelligence Prime Yield Guide for May 2025 provides a summary of key findings, based on indicative data from rack-rented properties, excluding bond-type transactions. The guide highlights yield trends across various sectors with sentiment changes and incorporates leading indicators such as inflation, monetary policy, and investment shifts. Below is a structured summary:

• Guide Overview: The yield guide is for May 2025, prepared on 9 May 2025. It focuses on prime real estate sectors in the UK, with yields reported for different property types and locations. Yields are presented monthly from May 2024 to May 2025, with sentiments categorized as Positive, Stable, or Negative.

• Sector Yields and Sentiments: Yields vary significantly by sector. Core retail areas like Bond Street show steady or slightly declining yields with a Positive sentiment. Secondary retail and leisure sectors, such as Good Secondary Open A1 Parks, have decreasing yields but remain Stable. Offices saw mixed results, with City Prime and West End core areas ranging from 4.00% to 5.50% yield, often with Positive or Stable sentiments, but secondary offices and warehouses displayed Negative sentiments due to lower occupancy and market pressure. Warehousing yields, such as Prime Distribution, remained around 5.00-6.00% with Stable or Neutral sentiments. Healthcare, student accommodation, and data centres showed relatively stable yields between 4.50% and 6.00%.

• Leading Indicators: Economic factors influenced yields. Tariffs and reduced global demand contributed to lower inflation expectations, supporting potential Bank of England rate cuts to 3.75% by year-end. UK gilt yields moderated, with the 10-year yield settling around 4.50%. The UK government is encouraging pension funds to allocate 10% of assets to domestic private markets by 2030, which could boost investment in real estate. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) trends and electric vehicle (EV) impacts are referenced but not detailed in yield data; however, a dashboard indicates stable rates for indexed gilts and SONIA swap rates.

• Key Takeaways: The guide underscores that while core prime areas remain attractive with some positive outlooks, secondary markets face downward pressure. Yields have decreased in several sectors, particularly in retail and office spaces, reflecting broader economic conditions. The indicative nature of the data suggests these figures are estimates and subject to change.
