Derwent London, a FTSE 250 property firm based in the capital, has reported robust demand in its markets, which has resulted in steadily rising rents and a low vacancy rate of around one per cent across the investment portfolio during the third quarter.

The company said that in the year-to-date, central London offices have outperformed the wider UK investment and occupier markets, and that with the ongoing uncertainty in the Eurozone and elsewhere, London remains a preferred investment destination for global investors, who are widening their search from the traditional 'super prime' areas of Mayfair and St James's to a broader area of central London.
