The value of the UK's commercial property stock reached an all-time high of £871bn in 2015, representing 10% of the UK's net wealth, a new report from the Property Industry Alliance (PIA) has revealed. This is an 11% increase on the 2014 total value.

Blue Marble chief executive Tim Matthews says: "Buoyed by increased consumer confidence, post-Brexit activity by private investors generally appears to be undiminished.
