Property group Great Portland Estates has seen the value of its London portfolio beat the rest of the capital's real estate market.

The value of its properties rose 7% to reach £1.46bn as tenants snapped up cheap office space, helping the firm to a £116.8m pre-tax profit in the first half, compared to a £29.8m loss last year when the property market was in the doldrums.

The gains mean Great Portland (down 2.4p to 345p) has delivered a 10.1% return on its property investments, against an 8.3% London benchmark, according to the Investment Property Databank.
