In the first quarter of 2025, office availability rates in the UK were the lowest in Birmingham, at **** percent. Other cities such as Manchester and Bristol had higher vacancy rates. England's busiest office market, London, had a vacancy rate exceeding ** percent in 2024. The vacancy rate is the percentage of available office rental units that are vacant or unoccupied during a given time. High vacancy rates in a city can mean that supply is outweighing demand, or that the quality of particular properties available not meeting the desired demands of the rental market. After the COVID-19 outbreak, demand for offices has declined, leading to increased vacancies across most markets.
