The bank lifted Land Securities to ‘buy’ from ‘neutral’ and upped the price target to 690p from 580p.

Meanwhile, British Land was lifted to ‘neutral’ from ‘sell’ and the price target to 350p from 290p.

Goldman said it was becoming "more positive on their retail exposure in particular, as we expect in-place rents to recover from here alongside a lower cost of capital versus other asset classes".

In the same note, GS downgraded Gecina to ‘neutral’ from ‘buy’ on share price outperformance, but lifted the price target to €103.5 from €101.4.

Goldman said: "We see a low appetite for office investment to precipitate further value declines, even for prime offices, while the shares also have outperformed year to date."
