“He will now work with all our capital markets teams to help access global capital for transactions in the UK, his market knowledge and commercial acumen make him ideally suited for this role.”

Joshua, who has been a partner in Knight Frank’s capital markets team since 2019, added: “There is a real opportunity for more [global capital] to be deployed into UK real estate.

“It is an interesting point in the cycle, with retail and some offices looking attractive from a yield/pricing perspective, while logistics and living sectors offer security of income partly due to supply-demand dynamics.

“I look forward to working even more closely with colleagues across our key hubs in mainland Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and US to support our clients.”
