CBRE tops 2023 annual agency leaderboards

CBRE has taken top spot in the EG Radius Leaderboards for 2023, transacting more than 3.8m sq ft more than closest rival JLL. Cushman & Wakefield, Knight Frank and Savills completed the top five.

The rankings, based on data supplied directly by the EG Radius community of agents, show which agents have been the most active across the UK.

CBRE also put in a strong showing in the sector leaderboards, topping the office and industrial tables. Savills led the retail rankings and Christie & Co held onto top spot in hotels & leisure.

Rob Madden, head of London office brokerage at CBRE, said: “The economic headwinds witnessed last year meant the UK leasing market was particularly challenged. This makes this accolade all the more rewarding and demonstrates the strength of our coverage across the UK.  We consistently strive to provide a best in class service for our clients, who trust us with delivering for them, and these results are testament to how collaborative, innovative and tenacious our Leasing and Tenant Rep teams are across the board.

“In the office market specifically, Q1 2024  has started with the same positivity we saw at the end of 2023, and we anticipate that the growing supply and demand imbalance for the highest quality buildings in the best locations will be a driver of rental growth over the next 12 months.”

But while the big agents may lead nationally, the tables below reveal a strong year for many niche sector specialists and regional agents, which feature prominently in the rankings at a county and regional level.
