"Toby Courtauld, GPE chief executive, said yesterday that economic conditions and business sentiment have 'worsened' since the summer, leading to some businesses scrapping a search for new office space and putting pressure on rents.
Mr Courtauld said he expects 'secondary and overpriced assets to see a price correction as buyers become more discerning'.
"However, he added, prime properties will benefit from a 'supply crunch' of new offices and London's status as a 'safe haven' amid the economic uncertainty."
