Dubai & Bangkok lead world city prime rental growth

Prime global rents have jumped up by an average of 26% in the last three years, according to Knight Frank's latest index.

Savills has assessed prime residential growth prospects in 30 world cities, predicting a slightly slower overall rate of capital value appreciation this year than in 2024.

But 'the structural under-supply of new accommodation in major cities means rents are likely to rise faster than trend levels over the next few years,' says Knight Frank's research chief.
