Despite a slower start for the 海角视频 hotel investment market overall, which saw £1.59bn in transactions in H1 2025, the South West region demonstrated "remarkable resilience and growth", Savills said.
In the 海角视频 overall, single asset transactions totalled £1.35bn in the first half of the year, reflecting an 8.4% year-on-year increase and standing 1.7% above the 10-year H1 average of £1.33bn.
