From sustainability to the need to find new urban living solutions, what do the next 12 months have in store for UK real estate?Amid Brexit, climate change and concerns about corporate social responsibility, real estate is at a turning point.Today&rsquo;s companies are increasingly having to rethink old business models and outdated workspaces to find new ways of working - and driving growth - that not only boost productivity and engagement among employees but also support the environment and add value to communities.Investors are increasingly exploring new real estate sectors that can deliver both strong returns and fresh solutions to the growing challenges facing rapidly urbanising and ageing societies. From city warehousing to new styles of urban living, 2020 will see emerging trends gain traction. Landlords, meanwhile, are increasingly spending time curating buildings to create vibrant, amenity-filled spaces.So just what does it all mean for the UK&rsquo;s property market in 2020? Here&rsquo;s our take on some of the key trends to look out for over the next 12 months:&nbsp;<h4>1: Growing pace of urbanisation</h4>Urbanisation shows no sign of slowing, says Jon Neale, head of UK Research at JLL. &ldquo;By 2025, we expect there to be an extra 2.5 million people living in the UK&rsquo;s city centres.&ldquo;As these urban populations expand, so will demand for housing, shops, leisure facilities, warehouses and office space. Real estate will need to adapt as competition for space intensifies; whether that&rsquo;s offering flexible workspaces or multi-storey warehouses.&rdquo;City centre jobs growth will likely be focused on the tech and service sectors, with companies battling to attract the skilled workforces they need to thrive. Sectors like&nbsp;life sciences&nbsp;will be affected as this increasingly means locating in urban innovation clusters that offer coworking spaces to encourage collaboration.&nbsp;<h4>2: Adopting a more sustainable point of view</h4>Climate change remains high on the agenda with the UK Government committing to hit net zero carbon by 2050. The focus will be on mapping out the journey ahead to ensure buildings and operations meet ambitious&nbsp;net zero carbon goals.Companies will also pay closer attention to their social impact in their decision-making. Air pollution, for example, will become a key consideration for both businesses looking at new offices and workers choosing where to live.<h4>&nbsp;</h4><h4>3: An office is no longer just somewhere to work</h4>Changing work styles will continue to reshape traditional office spaces in 2020. Landlords are increasingly aware of the need to create people-centric spaces and are spending more time ensuring they have the right mix of tenants and amenities, especially as leases shorten and tenant expectations rise.New uses like bike storage or electric vehicle charging, for example, are being added to the mix. Meanwhile, in-house cafes and restaurants serving a variety of healthy and high-quality food are providing the hospitality services that modern employees want.Building design and management will also become more focused on health and wellbeing. Creating well-designed spaces, with good lighting and heating systems, or quiet spaces away from the hubbub of open-plan offices can all help boost employee productivity and engagement.&nbsp;<h4>4: Growth of new urban housing solutions</h4>As more people move into cities, new urban living solutions will be needed. Neale says the Build-to-Rent sector will grow rapidly in 2020.&ldquo;As urban life gets more expensive, the benefits of renting, rather than home ownership are becoming more apparent in these city locations,&rdquo; he adds.Co-living providers are expected to move out of London to other urban centres and retirement living schemes offering amenities, and care where needed, will grow.&nbsp;<h4>5: Technology becomes more integrated</h4>2020 is the year companies will invest heavily in tech and data as digital solutions gain momentum.&ldquo;Technology investment will be all about improving the day-to-day employee experience,&rdquo; says Neale.Everything from sensor-based lighting systems to using workplace apps to book meeting rooms can be good for companies&rsquo; sustainability goals and their finances.As Neale says: &ldquo;Crucially, these changes will also drive performance or efficiency benefits.&rdquo;&nbsp;For more information about UK investment opportunities, you may contact JLL International Residential at +603 2260 0700 or&nbsp;<a href="mailto:wong.christine@ap.jll.com">wong.christine@ap.jll.com</a>.

5 Trends to Watch in UK Real Estate in 2020

More than three years after the landmark 'Brexit' vote, the United Kingdom&nbsp;officially left the European Union on Friday, January 31&nbsp;with a favorable deal.While the long-term impact on the UK economy will have to wait to be seen, the short term is looking more positive than at any time since the 2016 referendum.The UK property markets were among those hit hardest by Brexit uncertainty. With investors being uncertain what the future held, house prices, foreign investment and development activity&nbsp;underperformed.Now that Brexit has gone through, following a general election in December that secured Conservative leadership for another five years, the outlook for investors is more positive.The Brexit boost has already been observed with the&nbsp;strengthening of the pound and Prime Central London property sales picking up at the end of 2019, according to data from Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL). Improvements in employment and
 real wage growth will help reaffirm investor confidence further in the year ahead.David Rea, chief economist for EMEA at JLL, said&ldquo;There's certainly been an&nbsp;improvement in sentiment among investors&nbsp;since the election late last year. After volumes dropped in 2019, we expect investment to&nbsp;rebound in 2020, particularly from overseas investors who are keen to exploit London's yield arbitrage over other major European cities.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bright New DecadeEven before the Brexit agreement was signed, January saw a notable&nbsp;rise in UK real estate transactions&nbsp;compared to the same time last year, as home buyers and investors sought to secure properties at current price levels before
 the anticipated growth spurt.Supply also increased as more sellers put their properties on the market, with an increase in new housing starts also expected.JLL forecasts moderate growth across all regions of the UK for most of 2020 as investors and developers bide their time watching the markets cautiously.Growth is expected to accelerate in the final months of the year&nbsp;as the more positive investment climate becomes clear and the UK negotiates its new trade agreement with Europe, bringing an end to the era of uncertainty.Once the nature of the UK's future relationship with the EU and other territories becomes clear, JLL predicts&nbsp;house prices to grow from 1% per annum in 2020 to 4% in 2022.More than 1.3 million transactions per year are expected by 2022, the slower recovery in development activity maintaining high demand.With Britain's urban population set to increase by 2.5 million over the next four years, demand will be highest in towns and cities, particularly for student and multifamily homes. Other trends expected to characterize the decade are high demand for affordable
 housing, rental properties as people delay starting families until later in life, and elderly housing, with a quarter of the population being age over 65 by 2030.&nbsp;Fastest Growing RegionsMost areas of the UK are set to benefit from the newfound Brexit certainty, some more than others.Besides investment favorite London,&nbsp;the strongest performing regions are expected to be&nbsp;cities in the East of England, Yorkshire &amp; The Humber and North West England, the comparative affordability of these
 regions offering more room for growth.London's recovery will be strengthened by the capital's&nbsp;expanding digital sectors&nbsp;and its&nbsp;ability to nurture talent, as the home of more high-ranking universities than any other city in the world.With population growth of 100,000 annually, demand is consistently high for London property, particularly in the historic neighborhoods of Prime Central London and areas around Crossrail stations, London's new high-speed rail service that's currently
 scheduled to begin in 2021. <img alt="" src="https://jll-global-gdim-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/t_ip-image-optimization/v1582177689/olmwebcontents/ip/prod/zvhm9h8vsqldnrofsuvs.jpg" />The&nbsp;Prime Central London&nbsp;property markets are the most expensive in the UK, but also offer some of the most lucrative investment opportunities, with&nbsp;strong performance in Q4 2019.JLL expects this fresh momentum to continue through 2020 as buyers and sellers return to a more liberated market. The Prime Central London lettings market also recorded its highest annual rental growth for seven years, due to the high demand for well-connected property in the capital.
