RESEARCH DEFINITIONS Total Modern Stock represents the total completed class A and B space (occupied or vacant) in the private and public sector at the survey date. Includes owner occupied (OO) space. Vacant Space represents the total net rentable floor space in existing properties, which is physically vacant and being actively marketed as at the survey date. Vacancy Rate - represents the percentage ratio of total Vacant Space to Modern Total Stock. Take-Up Represents the total floor space, including renewals, known to have been pre-let, sold or pre-sold to tenants or owner-occupiers during the survey period. Prime Rent Represents the top open-market tier of rent that could be expected for a unit of standard size (commensurate with demand in each location), of the highest quality and specification and in the best location in a market at the survey date. The Prime Rent should reflect the level of which relevant transactions are being completed in the market at the time. If there are no relevant transactions during the survey period, the quoted figure will be more hypothetical, based on an expert opinion of market conditions. Absorption represents the change in occupied stock within a market during the survey period. Net Effective Rent represents a rent that would be achieved, less the incentives paid by the owner. The average net effective rent for a market is the market net base rent less incentives which are amortised over the term of lease.
