A Guide to UK Property Investment for 2016 - Aspen WoolfAspen Woolf
2015 has been another great year for those invested in the property market, and early signs are that 2016 looks set to continue in the same vein. Many analysts were advising a cautious approach at the beginning of the year, mainly thanks to the looming general election. However, as we now know, these fears proved to be unnecessary as the Conservative party swept Labour aside with their majority victory.
The impact leaving the european union will have on the british tourist industryHelen Bickerton
The document discusses how leaving the EU will positively impact the British tourism industry for several reasons: 1) the weakening of the pound will increase the number of foreign visitors and domestic holidays; 2) lower property prices provide an opportunity for investors; and 3) tourists are drawn to Britain's unique culture and history regardless of EU membership. Leaving the EU is predicted to further boost the already growing British tourism industry.

LEEDS, England Down the road from the train station here is a gap.docxcarliotwaycave
LEEDS, England:
Down the road from the train station here is a gaping hole. At the height of the property boom, a developer started to build what was to become one of the tallest and most stylish apartment blocks, designed by Philippe Starck.
But construction stopped abruptly last month when financing dried up because of the credit crunch. Now the abandoned site stands as a stark symbol of the collapse of Britain’s building boom and how the credit market turmoil in the United States has seeped across the Atlantic. It also suggests what lies ahead for a few other European economies where property booms gave now debt-ridden consumers a false sense of wealth and security.
In recent weeks, Britons have come to an uncomfortable realization: After 17 years of uninterrupted growth, their economy is moving closer to recession and may well already be in one. Home prices are dropping, sapping consumer confidence, and even though repossessions, bankruptcies and unemployment are still at relative lows, they have started to creep up during the last three months.
Just Thursday, figures released by HBOS, the largest mortgage lender in Britain, showed the housing market slump was gathering pace. The average price of a property fell 8.8 percent in the 12 months through July, the biggest drop since the company started to track prices in 1983.
But the Bank of England is caught in a bind. It is unable to lower interest rates to keep the economy growing because, at the same time, inflation looms. It left lending rates unchanged at its meeting on Thursday.
Britain’s economy is in worse shape than most in Europe, with the exception of Spain and Ireland, because of its heavy reliance on two industries that currently struggle the most: housing and financial services.
Now, many of Leed’s office buildings stand empty and their once trendy glass facades are cluttered with “For Sale” signs.
New developments, like the Lumiere project next to the train station, are being canceled as banks withdraw their financing. Another development, the “Kissing Towers,” which would have provided 300 new apartments, was shelved last month.
North of the city center the picture is even bleaker. Overflowing garbage containers stand in front of boarded-up houses, and the city’s charities are bracing for a busy autumn and winter.
Repossessions are creeping up, and even property prices in London have started to fall, with values of homes in the most expensive neighborhoods, including Knightsbridge, down by 1.6 percent in July.
The housing problems have started to threaten Vivienne Cockcroft’s small business.
Cockcroft sells secondhand clothing and furniture out of a warehouse she rents here, but rising rent and utility costs are forcing her to either move or close down. “Our cash reserves are being eaten away and even moving would mean job cuts,” she said, referring to her eight employees.
Economists say the global credit market turmoil has yet to work its way fully through to the .
This document provides an investor's guide to real estate in Brickell and downtown Miami in 2013.

When investing in Miami condos, the document advises considering factors like price per square foot, building finances, maintenance costs, location, views, amenities and surrounding developments.
The Ascot lettings market has seen strong demand and a shortage of supply, with properties continuing to let quickly.

Ruth Barr, Head of Wimbledon Lettings, discusses which price brackets are most active, how recent performance has affected yields, and why winter could be a good to time to let your property.
http://www.knightfrank.co.uk/contact/wimbledon-estate-agents/lettings/
The document compares the prime residential property markets of London, New York, Hong Kong, and Moscow. It finds that Hong Kong and Moscow have significantly outperformed London and New York over the past five years, with Hong Kong prices 52% higher than London by 2010. However, Hong Kong and Moscow markets have also been more volatile. All four cities attract wealthy international buyers and have residential markets that stand apart from their domestic markets. The document examines factors like population, property prices, tax rates, and popular locations for vacation homes for each city.
The document discusses the positive outlook for the UK residential development land market in 2013 despite economic uncertainty. It notes that land prices outperformed house prices in 2012 with greenfield and urban land values increasing while house prices fell. Developers are actively seeking permissioned land in high-value areas facing shortages, particularly in London and the South East. Recapitalized housebuilders are using cash to directly purchase land due to strong competition in prime markets. The outlook expects continued momentum in the industry backed by improving profits and mortgage availability, though transaction volumes and price growth will likely remain subdued overall.
This document analyzes the performance of IP Global's London property portfolio between 2009-2013. Key findings include:
- The portfolio achieved a total capital appreciation of GBP114 million and an average annual return of 11.4%, or 29.6% for leveraged investments.
- Properties in Zones 1 and 2 significantly outperformed, with average annual growth of 20% and 26% respectively.
- Two-bedroom units achieved the highest annual leveraged capital growth of 21.4%.
- Rental yields have remained stable at an average of 4.6% despite compression from rising prices.
The document discusses the impact of the 2012 London Olympics on the city's real estate market. It finds that while property values near the Olympic sites increased by an average of £60,000 or 28% in the 7 years since London was awarded the Olympics, 7 of the top 20 performing areas saw more modest gains between 8-13%. The area of Stratford saw only a 13% increase, less than half of east London overall. Long term, the Olympics legacy is expected to increase demand for housing in east London and attract more overseas wealth, but the full effects on local property markets remain to be seen.
Six property experts discuss the state of the Irish property market and their predictions for 2014. They found that demand increased significantly in 2013, especially for family homes in Dublin. Prices rose faster than expected due to low supply and high cash buyer activity. Experts were disappointed by the lack of new construction and limited bank lending. Most predict further price increases in Dublin of 10-15% in 2014, fueled by employment growth, but note the market depends on increased supply and credit availability longer term.

Six property experts discuss the state of the Irish property market and their predictions for 2014. They found that demand increased significantly in 2013, especially for family homes in Dublin. Prices rose faster than expected in Dublin and other cities due to low supply and high cash buyer activity. Experts were disappointed by the lack of new housing construction and limited bank lending. They predict prices will continue rising in Dublin in 2014, especially if employment improves, but cash buyers alone cannot sustain the market long-term without increased mortgage lending. Experts call for more housing construction and solutions to negative equity issues to ensure a balanced recovery.

Property in St John's Wood - Letting Agents InsightKnight Frank LLP
The document summarizes the residential lettings market in St. John's Wood, London. It discusses that the area is popular with American and Japanese families and professionals due to its schools and proximity to transportation. In demand property types are one- and two-bedroom flats, which rent quickly, and larger family homes of three to five bedrooms. The document provides advice to tenants to be clear about offers and landlords to price properties correctly and work with a reputable agent. The local lettings manager expects a busy spring rental season.
The document provides an overview of the UK residential property market in winter 2015. It notes that house prices are up nearly 5% on last year and rental yields are predicted to reach 6.5-8% in regional markets over the next five years. However, transaction volumes remain low due to limited housing stock and changes to policies like stamp duty that have negatively impacted the market. The article examines factors constraining supply such as attitudes towards property ownership and issues with trading properties. It also analyzes house price and sales trends in different areas.

Dubai property market conditions improve
On the up…
There are growing signs that the Dubai property market is firmly
on the road to recovery following the 2008/2009 crash that hit
Dubai investors during the international financial crisis.
The Brief.
6. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14
Property prices in Dubai have plummeted
by up to 70% over the past three years, as a
consequence of the economic crisis, a lack of
mortgage liquidity and a severe oversupply
of housing. But a closer look at the market
suggests that conditions are improving.
Property prices across parts of the emirate,
particularly at the high-end of the market,
are rising once more, led by Emaar’s
Arabian Ranches, where residential units
have appreciated by 24% over the past
year, according to a report from property
management company Asteco.
The villas in the Springs, which is part of the
Emirates Living community, and apartments
in Dubai Palm Jumeirah, traditional expat
communities, saw capital growth of 19% and
17%, respectively.
“After three years of declining rates and
limited sales activity, the real estate market
is on the way to recovery, with established
quality communities showing increases in
values and higher transaction volumes,”
said Elaine Jones, CEO at Asteco.
A separate report by CBRE also shows
that the rental maket is also improving
in Dubai – an attractive proposition for
buy-to-let investors.
CBRE data reveals that Dubai apartment and
villa rents increased by 2% in the second
quarter of this year, with the outlook for the
rest of the year described as steady.
The property firm reported that rents in
popular locations such as Downtown Dubai
have increased by between 5% and 8%.
Other locations have not fared so well,
however, with rents in Jumeirah Village
depreciated by 5%.
CBRE stated: ‘Although there are major villa
projects in the pipeline expected to enter the
market in phases during the coming months,
it is unlikely that this new supply will have
a significant impact on lease and occupancy
rates in established locations.’

Back to
the future
London property prices
supported by housing shortage
Over the last decade London’s population
has increased by 850,000 whilst only 197,000
new homes have been built in the capital over
the same period, CBRE revealed in its latest
residential report. London is therefore bucking
the UK house price trend, and the wider
recession, with the significant supply and
demand imbalance continuing to push prices
higher across many parts of the capital,
as well as continued strong interest from
overseas investors.
Unless there is a sudden hike in the volume of
new homes being built, residential property
values in London will almost certainly increase
further, as demand continues to grow, on the
back of a rising population.
Jennet Siebrits, head of residential research,
CBRE, says that she expects the housing market
to remain subdued over the Olympics period
with attention firmly focused on sports rather
than property. But she describes London as “
a bright spot in the UK residential market”.
She commented: “Whilst it is hard to distinguish
the impact of one-off events such as the
Olympics and Jubilee on the housing market,
it is clear that the housing market is flat with
mortgage approvals edging downwards and a
corresponding dip in new lending.
“However, London is still a bright spot in the
UK residential market with a lack of supply and
strong interest from international buyers looking
for a safe haven for their money underpinning
house prices.”

Florida property recovery insight
Rising tide…
Just five years ago, Florida was one
of the hottest property markets in the
world, attracting a large number of
national and international homebuyers.
But the sector was hard hit by the
collapse of the USA’s sub-prime
mortgage sector, causing property prices
to plummet by up to 75%, on the back
of a severe housing glut, as housing
demand waned. But conditions appear
to be improving.
There are growing signs that the
Florida property sector is firmly on
the road to recovery, thanks to a
sharp fall in housing inventory levels.

The Florida property
market is starting
to make a strong
recovery after a long
and brutal downturn
The latest data provided by Florida
REALTORS show that in June of this
year, there were 112,365 homes
for sale in Florida, down 31% from
the previous year, culminating in a
housing shortage in some areas.
It would take six months for the
market to absorb current inventory -
down from 10 months a year ago.
The hike in demand is unsurprising
when looking at some of the
attractively priced properties available
with apartments starting from around
$50,000 (£32,000).
Colin Murphy of Florida-based estate
agents Torcana said: “In short, the
Florida property market is starting to
make a strong recovery after a long
and brutal downturn. Year-on-year
sales in Florida are up 43% for single
family homes and 33% for condos
and townhomes.”
Data from thee Orlando Regional
Realtor Association (ORRA) show that
the average price of an existing home
in Orlando increased by 15.7% in
the first half of 2012, from $108,000
to $125,000.
Property prices are also booming in
Miami, on the back of strong sales,
which set a new record in 2011,
exceeding transaction levels during
the height of the real estate boom
in 2005.
“Miami properties probably will
be around 20% higher than 2008,
and due to the high demand from
South American investors, I can see
this market continuing to rise faster
than the median growth achieved
in Florida,” said Loxley McKenzie of
property firm Colordarcy.

A room
with a
view
The hotel investment sector in the UK was once again the most
liquid market during the first half of 2012 with hotel transaction
volumes amounting to £1.2, reflecting 37% of total EMEA
transaction volumes, according to Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels.
Growing UK hotel investment volumes
The Brief.
11. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14
Hotel investment volumes totalled
£3 billion, a 12% decline compared to
sales volumes in the first half of 2011.
The majority of transactions were single
asset sales, accounting for 64% of total EMEA
transaction volumes.
During Q1 2012 France remained the second
most active market with hotel transaction
volumes totalling £320 million, 11% of total
EMEA transaction volumes. Investment activity
was strong in Paris and nine hotels were sold
with a total value of £260 million.
In Germany, hotel transaction volumes totalled
£140 million, 5% of total EMEA transaction
volumes. Significant transactions included a
portfolio sale of two hotels in Berlin, the 4-star
153 bedroom Hotel Indigo Berlin and the
4-star 242 bedroom Holiday Inn Berlin Centre
both located at Alexanderplatz. Both properties
were sold by the Azure Property Group to Invesco
Real Estate for £48 million.
Christoph Härle, CEO Continental Europe, Jones
Lang LaSalle Hotels, said: “We observe continued
growth in trading fundamentals in many key
European hotel markets despite the economic
turmoil and uncertainty in the EuroZone.
Leisure travel remains buoyant and is fuelled
by continued growth in inbound tourism from
emerging markets in Asia and South America.
With demand growing and a decreasing number
of hotels in the development pipeline, a further
improvement in trading performance can be
expected in the short to medium term. This
should result in more attractive returns for
owners and underlines the attractiveness of
hotels as alternative real estate investments.”
We observe continued
growth in trading
fundamentals…despite
the economic turmoil
and uncertainty in
the EuroZone.
London accounted for 59% of UK
investment volumes or £632 million,
where activity was primarily driven by the
acquisition of eight upscale hotels in the
capital, including the 4-star 208 bedroom
Hoxton hotel which was sold for £64.5
million to private equity firm Ennismore
Capital and the 5-star 62 bedroom
Number 11 Cadogan Gardens that was
acquired for £31 million by
The Cadogan Estate.
However, despite strong demand in the
UK, hotel investment activity in EMEA
slightly weakened in the first six months
of 2012 when compared to the same
period in 2011.

A tale
of two cities
But there are signs that the pace of capital
growth is starting to slow, particularly at
the high end of the market, where higher
stamp duty and the uncertainty surrounding
proposed tax changes for houses worth
£2m+ begin to weigh on the market.
The central London property market retained
its dominance in July, with a 0.5% increase
in average prices taking the value of prime
property to a new record high. However,
July’s pace of growth marks the most modest
monthly rise since October 2010.
Prime central London prices hit new high but pace of growth slows
The average price of a home in prime
central London is now 13% higher
than the previous market peak in
early 2008, as the capital remains a
key destination for investors looking
for ‘safe-haven’ assets.

London still remains
a key destination
for investors looking
for safe-haven assets
So what is causing this slowdown? Knight
Frank’s Liam Bailey says that while focus
of the world may have turned to London
during the Olympics, the Eurozone
turmoil is still rumbling on with Spain
becoming the latest country to feel the
pressure.
“As such, London still remains a key
destination for investors looking for
‘safe-haven’ assets, a fact reflected
in the continued rise in interest from
prospective buyers, up 23% in the three
months to July compared to the previous
quarter,” he said.
“Rather it is developments closer to
home which are preoccupying those
in the market, namely the stamp duty
rises and proposed property tax changes
announced during the Budget in March,”
he added.
There is emerging evidence that the
rises in stamp duty are having an
impact on the market. And the on-going
consultation on the annual charges and
Capital Gains Tax which will be levied on
property worth £2m+ held in company
structures, is creating uncertainty and
causing some would-be buyers and
sellers to adopt a ‘wait and see’ attitude.
The final decision on the consultation will
be announced in this year’s pre-Budget
report or next year’s Budget.
July’s snapshot of the prime central
London market indicates that activity is
starting to recede from record heights
seen over the last year or two, to a more
moderate pace, indicating that price
growth may also slow over the coming
months.
