Bristol is seeing a growing demand for offices at a time when availability is dwindling, according to a report published recently by DTZ Research. Despite the rise in office leasing, top-level rents remained unchanged in Bristol, something put down to the lack of premium space in the area.
"The difficulties the office market has experienced over the past 18 months appear to be receding," Philip Morton, director at DTZ in Bristol, believes. "Anecdotal evidence suggests that, in the past few months there has been a cautious return in business confidence, which is now beginning to have a positive impact on the property market."
