Demand for London office space will continue to remain strong in the medium to long term, according to a new report from JLL.

The land office featured that a generous measure of interest for focal London office space is driven by rent occasions and determined that there is a sum of up to 25m sq ft needed for occupiers that have rent expiries somewhere in the range of 2020 and 2023. 

Most of these occupiers will at present need to fulfill these prerequisites particularly if wasteful and out of date space isn't viable with the post-Covid-19 scene, JLL said. 

Since March the occupy of new room in focal London has eased back as occupiers have delayed to evaluate their choices. 

In any case, JLL said that while this is required to remain the case temporarily, interest for top notch workplaces will return unequivocally as occupiers plan for the recuperation. The examination contends that an office space in London may turn out to be more, as opposed to less, fundamental, given that it is by a wide margin the most available area by open vehicle in the nation. Notwithstanding, occupiers will turn out to be more specific in their prerequisites and this may imply that structures that don't offer the conditions workers need will require huge venture or potentially repositioning. 

Neil Prime, head of UK and EMEA office at JLL, stated: "Organizations that rapidly set out on momentary responsive space and cost-sparing measures will presumably discover the outcomes unacceptable at the appropriate time. At the point when the economy recuperates, they will be focussing on sourcing office space in a serious market as opposed to having a methodology focussed on ability and development. We foresee that while those occupiers with current prerequisites keep on adjusting them to give an alternate sort of work environment, we don't anticipate that them should hold such a focal piece of their medium and long haul business procedure." 

Elaine Rossall, head of UK workplaces research at JLL, stated: "Coronavirus is required to quicken a large number of the actual changes that we were at that point finding in the focal London office market. Corporates have moved away from survey workplaces as a static and vital cost as they are progressively viewed as a grandstand for brand and culture."
