Shares in Conygar Investment were up 9.6% at 25.75p on Friday morning in London ‘Given the continuing geopolitical risk and macroeconomic volatility, we anticipate a period of hesitation for UK real estate, the extent of which depends on any further conflict escalation and the resultant longer-term impact on energy costs. However, the 2026 real estate landscape is characterized by resilience, with the industry navigating a ’new normal’ of uncertainty,’ said Chief Executive Robert Ware. ‘With investors prioritising high quality and sustainable investments, alternative capital sources filling the funding gap left by traditional institutional investment, and UK residential and commercial property values supported by a softer development pipeline, we are optimistic that opportunities will evolve over the coming years which should enable us to maximise the returns from TIQ.’ TIQ is Conygar’s Island Quarter development in Nottingham.
