" . http://www.pwc.co.uk/ Many more links here: http://www.pwc.co.uk/eng/publications/emerging_trends_in_real_estate_europe.html Then a huge report here: http://www.pwc.com/lu/en/real-estate/docs/pwc-publ-et-re-2011.pdf (I didn't read it yet.) _____________________________________ After reading a few parts of the report, it looked a bit "real estaty". It is co-authored by a "Urban Land Institute" (Never heard.)

There is an exciting moment coming later this year [in the UK] when all the [spending] cuts come in, unemployment rises, maybe interest rates rise a little. Secondary [properties] will come on to the market [and] values will have to fall To my mind, we shouldn't have leverage at all. And for the long term investor, the current difficulty of people getting debt is an absolute dream; it is perfect. It keeps the short term investors out of the game London is a country in itself and seems to defy gravity. Regionally, it's going to be ugly All about commercial property but well worth a read. Good find ToW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tired of Waiting Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 All about commercial property but well worth a read. Yes, I noticed those too. Just a few though. I think prices will come down strongly, including in London - or even more so in London! The supply flood is very strong there now, and with weakening support from Housing Benefits, I can't see how London prices won't fall strongly. Good find ToW. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
