Ms Hunt was very critical of the change in the upward-only rent reviews. She denounced them. In February 2010, it was stated:

According to Marie Hunt, Director of Research at CB Richard Ellis, “This has come as a huge surprise to the industry. We understood that the Government had decided not to implement this measure. While no one is disputing the fact that tenants in many sectors of the property market have come under huge pressure in recent months and many are struggling to meet rent payments, the reality is that this move will not do anything to improve the plight of retailers and office occupiers who are currently in such difficulties.

Could Ms. Hunt explain why she was so opposed to the change in the upward-only rent reviews?
