Commercial Real Estate
The historically low interest rates and the continuing uncertainties in the financial markets put pressure on returns. Investing in property is an opportunity to secure long-term returns. For this reason, the development of new property continues to be interesting for investors, as does the purchase or sale of property. But which form of financing and which form of contract do you choose?
Property is not a ‘trouble-free’ possession. You can count on social developments and regulations to lead to complicated challenges, with rules on asbestos and the energy performance of buildings being prime examples. How do you best deal with these challenges and which choices are best for you and your organisation financially?
