Total investment volumes in 15 European countries could top €210bn (£148.8bn) by the end of 2015, up by 5% on the €199.3bn transacted in 2014, according to new research from Savills.
The firm examined data from Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and UK and found that core European markets continued to receive the majority of investment.
France, Germany and the UK all recorded total investment volume increases of 38%, 28% and 16%. Spain and Ireland saw the most drastic increases of 194% and 132% respectively.
Poland was the only country in the survey area not to see increased investment, with a marginal drop of 9%.
Investment in the office sector accounted for the highest increase of all property sectors, 51%.
Savills predicted that industrial investment in Europe could rise by up to 13% in 2015 as the sector reacts to online retail trends.
