The recovery in values that began in May 2013 is now re-asserting itself after a slight moderation over the summer with capital values rising by 1.2% in September.
According to the IPD UK monthly index, this figure represented the second-highest monthly return of the year, eclipsed only by the June result, and significantly up on the 0.9% recorded in August.
The robust capital value result drove total returns to 1.7% last month as income return remained stable at 0.5%.
Offices delivered the strongest capital growth at 1.4%, followed by industrials with 1.3%, while retail values grew by a more modest 0.9%. Values have now risen by 14.1% over 17 consecutive months of growth.
