Belgian Real Estate Investment Market 2007 PDF Print
Belgium Property

After very strong momentum in the investment market over 2006, King Sturge expects 2007 to be a new record where investment volume may exceed €5 bln. by year end.

 

When comparing volume invested across all asset classes over the first 3 quarters of 2007 with the same period in 2006, we can highlight an increase of approximately 10% to reach €2.6 bln. When looking more closely at the different asset classes, we can nevertheless distinguish a very strong increase in the industrial1 market (+260%) and a slight decrease in the office market (-17%). This is mainly the consequence of two important logistical products made available for the sale: the sale of a main logistical hub of Carrefour to CommerzGrundbesitz and the acquisition of the ABX portfolio by Fortis. In the office market several large transactions have already taken place during the beginning of October or are planned to be closed by year end. Hence, we believe that 2007 may break all records with a volume invested in excess of €5 bln.

UK Housing Market Forecast 2008 PDF Print
Property UK

The Credit Crunch has been hitting the UK Mortgage Sector hard as many easy credit mortgage deals have been removed from the high street shelves in recent weeks. Despite central bank actions to ease financing terms and increase liquidity, this does not address the real issues of illiquid mortgage related bonds and expectations that the UK Housing Market will slump on the back of a surge in foreclosures.

UK Mortgage Banking Sector - Northern Rock On the Brink of Going Bust

For an example of the credit crunches impact on the UK mortgage banking sector , we need look no further than at Northern Rock. The mortgage banks stock price has fallen from recent highs of £12.58 to recent lows of just £6.20, a drop of more than 50%. Trading on a PE of just 7.5 and a yield of 4% may now make the stock seem enticing, but the mark down is in anticipation of the much higher risk of mortgage defaults and repossessions in the UK as the housing market starts to nose dive. These repossessions (foreclosures) are already hitting the likes of northern rock with expectations of a tripling in the rate over the next 6 months as compared with the same period last year. This surge in repossessions will impact the earnings of the UK Mortgage banks as they make every larger bad debt provisions and issue profit warnings.

This is in addition to any toxic US Sub prime related exposure. Therefore in Northern Rock's case a PE of 7.5 could jump many fold in a worse case scenario.

10 tips for buying property in France PDF Print
France Propety
1.) Before you start your search for your dream property, consider carefully why you are buying, and how you can make the most of the investment opportunity. If you are buying to relocate or for a semi-permanent retirement home, you might not be interested in letting your dream home for extra income. However, the prospect of benefiting from capital growth can be very appealing. Alternatively, if you are buying a holiday home for your own occasional use, any extra income from renting will provide a useful contribution to your costs, and might even pay your finance costs. This would make your dream home a free gift from your tenants ! Whatever your reason for buying, look for a property which will also be your best investment.
