Finding New Funding Solutions For Real Estate in a Rapidly Changing World, Sponsored by IPSX

Product Information:

This product gives you access to the recording of our webinar - including speaker discussions, presentations and Q&A.

Event Information:

With business and public sector debt on the increase and corporates facing uncertain times, the challenge is on in raising capital as well as fund raising real estate projects in the most cost-effective way.

In this webinar, we will discuss what the post pandemic repercussions might be for asset owners and for investors. For investors to invest, they need better information and transparency to make their decisions and have confidence that the city or place is going to deliver the strong occupational demand that is needed to drive rents and create growth.

We will consider what new ideas are needed to further strengthen and help drive new investment into our UK cities and towns and how equity can be released from property portfolios in the most cost-effective way.

Key points to be discussed:-

• What are the options that real estate owners face when thinking about fund raising?
• How can a new regulated public market help?
• What is the investment appetite like for regional assets?
• What information do investors need when thinking about asset values?
