Fast Market Research recommends "Ukraine Real Estate Report Q4 2010" from Business Monitor International, now available
 
Oct. 6, 2010 - PRLog -- After the global financial crisis, and with GDP shrinking by 15.4% in 2009, participants in Ukraine's commercial real estate sector had to contend with a slump in rental rates of 25-40% - across all three subsectors - in the year. In early 2010, vacancy rates were running at 15-20% or worse in the three cities for which we gather data - Kiev, Kharkov and Dnipropetrovsk. The main exception to this appears to be the retail sub-sector in Kiev but, even there, rents have fallen by around a third.

When we interviewed them in early 2010, our in-country sources were confident that conditions would get better, even though the economy appears unlikely to regain the 6-7% growth rates that were the norm prior to 2008. BMI expects that domestic demand will rise only slowly, given the over-leverage of the private sector, the under-capitalisation of Ukraine's fragmented banking industry and the fiscal constraints that have been imposed on the government. In essence, much depends on an export-led boom (which, in turn, is driven by the sharp fall in the hryvnia over the past two years) feeding through to the real estate sector.

There is one other positive dynamic. Although not alluded to overtly by our in-country sources, there must be pent-up demand for new and high-quality office and retail space (in Kiev, especially). Our sources are confident that the overall levels of rents will rise as a result of the completion of a number of new projects - including several that were frozen during 2009 as a result of the crisis. We agree that this is good news, but caution that the implication is that there must be a lot of older real estate in the office and retail sub-sectors that will prove very difficult to let.

The slump in rents in Ukraine - as in much of Central and Eastern Europe - caused yields to fall through 2010. However, we suspect that the drop in rents relative to prices and capital values is, in part, due to the lack of transactions in what must have been a traumatised marketplace.

By mid-2010, it was apparent that rents and yields were stabilising. We are confident that much of the necessary adjustment to prices and yields is now in the past. We anticipate that yields will adjust gradually so that they return to the levels prevailing prior to 2008. The biggest changes will be in the office and retail sub-sectors of Kharkov, where yields soared during 2009.

Key Features Of This Report

This is the latest edition of a new series of industry reports published by BMI that seeks to identify the key dynamics of the real estate sectors of 44 countries around the world, some of which are developed and some of which are, in every sense, emerging markets. The questions that we seek to answer for each country remain as follows: what are the main issues that will matter to actors in and around real estate development in the country concerned, both over the long and the short term? What are the main constraints that they face? What are the key insights that one garners when one compares the real estate sector of the country concerned with its peers in other countries?

In Q3 we introduced a very substantial new improvement to the reports. We incorporated data and qualitative observations provided to us by commercial real estate agents operating in the countries we survey. As a result we gained a much clearer picture of the balance between demand and supply in each of three main sub-sectors - office, retail and industrial. We also introduced a new approach to the forecasting of rental yields, which is discussed in the methodology sector of this report.

In Q4, we have incorporated a lot of new data in relation to rents and yields in 2010. We gained this data by way of a new round of interviews with our in-country sources in mid-2010. In some cases, the latest information from our sources has caused us to make significant revisions to our forecasts for 2011-2014. We asked our sources to indicate what growth in rents is likely for 2011. We explain their answers in the Industry Forecast Scenario.
