Around £3.6bn has been invested into the UK retail real estate sector so far in 2017, with a third of that being spent on out-of-town retail assets.
Since the start of the year, £1.2bn has been spent on retail parks in the UK, with £847m invested in shopping centres.
This slowdown on prime malls has been attributed to uncertainty from buyers and sellers post-Brexit.
These factors of supply and demand have seen yields move outward for shopping centres and inward for out-of-town schemes.
Local authorities invested £363m in shopping centres last year, 14% of the overall spend.
The South-East and London have commanded the highest levels of investment over the past five years, with 35% of the total.
