The Southeastern part in which London is located lies in the rain shadow region so it receives much less rain than Fort William for example which lies on the windward side. London records about 600 mm ( 22 in, ) of rain annually and Fort William thrice as much. So the conclusion is that the south eastern part is both warmer and less rainy than the western or the northern parts. As the temperature remains uniformly cool throughout the year and the rate of evaporation is less so even 22 in. rainfall equally distributed over the year is sufficient to sustain deciduous forest and we find greenery every where in U.K. Northern Ireland receives so much rain that due to its vegetation it is called “the Emerald Island”.

The temperature in U.K remains remarkably uniform. In London for example the warmest month rarely crosses 68 F (20 F) and the coolest rarely falls below 40 F (4 C ). Such a uniformity of temperature with uniformly distributed rainfall makes the climate equable and geographers call it lovingly as “the England type of climate” when they have to refer to any other place having the same climate e.g. North western France or Northeastern United states.

The commercial real estate industry in the United Kingdom is receiving much buzz in recent years. There are several factors that contribute to the real estate boom in the U.K. The high rate of immigration to the country, specifically from Asia, Africa and other countries of the European Union, has called on numerous individuals and companies to invest in business undertakings in the U.K. Aside from this, the U.K. is also one of the top ten tourist destinations in the world, with Heathrow Airport being the busiest airport worldwide. All these have called the attention of various local and international businesses to invest in commercial real estate in the U.K.

London remains as the U.K.’s primary center for business, and one of the top centers for finance worldwide. Various huge financial institutions are based in London, including the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange and the London Stock Exchange. The United Kingdom’s economy is ideal for a lot of investors, given the low taxes and the free market model used in the country. Interest in the commercial property market has increased in recent years. Along with this, rent and the value of these commercial properties have also increased considerably. This makes the market very attractive to local investors, especially in metropolitan areas, such as London, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Various financial institutions are creating funds that will enable different local investors to acquire commercial property in the U.K., further promoting the commercial real estate market in the country.

Local investors are not the only ones getting attracted to the commercial real estate market in the United Kingdom. A lot of foreign investors, specifically from the United States, are spending their hard-earned money in order to purchase a significant amount of commercial property in the United Kingdom. One of the reasons for the large number of foreign investors is the high returns of investments that commercial properties in the U.K. are able to generate. In general, there is a higher return of investment that one can receive from property investments than from government or corporate shares.
