Green New Deal Boosts Appeal of New Build Investments

10/05/202321/04/2025dansa

Investing in new-build property has traditionally been a popular form of property investment due to the range of benefits it can offer – this has seen many investors purchase off-plan (before the house is completed) as a means of maximizing their potential gains.

The push towards making homes energy efficient in recent years has heightened the incentive to invest in new-build properties, as tenants wish to keep their energy bills down. As a result, this has seen increased demand for such properties.

In turn, new-build properties also tend to boast higher EPC (energy performance certificate) ratings of an A or B compared to the current UK housing stock which averages out at an D.

With recent government regulations expected to make all homes in the private rented sector a C rating minimum, it can be said that new-build investors will save significant figures in not having to perform extensive maintenance required in boosting their EPC rating.

It is also worth highlighting that 72% of renters aged 18 to 34 always check the energy rating of a home before renting, with many adding that they would not choose to live in a property with an EPC rating of D or below.

Analysis-Banking crisis scars struggling US real estate stocks

29/04/202321/04/2025dansa

By Lewis Krauskopf

NEW YORK (Reuters) – US real estate stocks are struggling this year after a rough 2022, as fears that banks will tighten lending standards pile pressure on a sector already hit by higher interest rates.

After slumping 28% last year, the S&P 500 real estate sector has gained about 1% in 2023, lagging an 8% rise for the overall S&P 500. Real estate is the only one of the 11 S&P 500 sectors to underperform the benchmark index in both 2022 and so far in 2023.

Driving this year’s struggles are fears that tumult in the banking sector following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in March will make it more difficult for real estate companies to access debt, as banks become more stringent on lending. The real estate sector has slumped 2% since SVB’s troubles came to light on March 8, compared to a 4% rise for the S&P 500.

“There is nothing about the current banking situation … that made life easier for real estate companies,” said Peter Tuz, president of Chase Investment Counsel. Because banks have lost deposits, “they will be just more careful who they lend money to,” he said.

What Does the Spring 2023 Budget Mean for Property Investment?

Chancellor Hunt also revealed the government would deliver 12 “investment zones” across the UK – with the intention of creating new “potential Canary Wharfs.”

Regions like the West Midlands, Greater Manchester, and Liverpool were highlighted as potential candidates. The Chancellor stated that successful applicants must be able to identify a specific location where a partnership between local government and local universities/research institutes could provide valuable innovation.

Successful candidates will receive £80m in funding each over the next 5 years, further encouraging investment in these critical areas and strengthening their local economies. If all goes well, this could encourage many investors and homeowners to go beyond London property investment for their next purchase.

Additionally, the Chancellor promised to put further investment towards UK regeneration schemes.

From this year, the government will provide over £200m in funding to 16 high-quality local regeneration projects across the UK.

The report added the “left-behind places” cited in the government’s Leveling Up campaign and projects with costs under £10m would be specifically targeted to ensure a fast turnaround.

Again, this is excellent news for the property market.

Regeneration is a magnet for future growth and demand: resulting in amenities that improve the local area, which attracts

Instability of Banks Boosts Appeal of Property Investing in 2023

27/03/2023dansa

If you’ve been paying attention to the news recently, then you may have noticed several banks collapsing in the US in the past couple of weeks, which is beginning to cause alarm.

For those not in the know, on March 10th, the biggest failure of a US bank since the global financial crisis of 2008 happened in real time. Silicon Valley Bank collapsed after a bank run and failed to raise capital, which was the second-largest failure of a financial institution in US history.

Following this, a second bank, Signature Bank, has also shut down, and a third has been propped up. As well as this, Credit Suisse was taken over by UBS, otherwise it would have faced the first threat to a major international bank since 2008.

More than $400 billion has been spent so far to try and dam the river and stop this crisis from spreading further, and by guaranteeing the deposits of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, the US Federal Reserve has spent over $140 billion.

This crisis naturally has investors worried about where to put their money. Savings accounts have traditionally been known to be the safest way to invest large sums of money

Slow sales, hard scrabble in Toronto real estate

03/02/2023dansa

The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board tallied 75,140 sales through its Multiple Listing Service for all of 2022, 38.2 per cent below the 121,639 transactions seen in 2021.Mitch Fain/Mitch Fain

The real estate market in Toronto, Ottawa and many Ontario cities is off to a slow start in January with thin inventory, jittery buyers and Bay Street predicting another interest-rate hike.

John Lusink, president of Right at Home Realty Inc. and Property.ca, says the market is more balanced between buyers and sellers at the moment but also complicated and unpredictable.

“It’s going to be a tough year,” he says.

The executive says listings are typically low in the first half of January and this year is in line with the trend. In the second week of January, his firm’s inventory stood at 1,884 listings across its 14 offices.

That compares with only 1,100 at the start of January last year when “fear of missing out” among buyers saw properties snapped up quickly.

“We aren’t seeing a surge of inventory,” he says, adding that many of the listings he sees coming on now are properties that did not sell in the fall.

For all of 2022, the Toronto Regional Real

Missing DC real estate exec Ana Walshe owned multiple properties worth at least $1.88 million

A search of property records reveals that Ana Walshe had a valuable real estate portfolio and that she sold one property shortly before she disappeared.

Walshe owned at least four residential properties, according to publicly available property assessment records and tax records in Massachusetts, Maryland and Washington, DC, where she worked for a real estate firm. Her husband, Brian Walshe, is not listed as owner or co-owner of any of the properties.

Those properties include two apartments in Lynn, Massachusetts, a rowhouse in Baltimore, and a 2,500-square-foot home in DC.

At the time of her disappearance, Ana Walshe, whose husband was charged with her murder and in jail without bail, had a real estate portfolio worth nearly $2 million, according to CNN’s analysis of publicly available documents.

Ana Walshe sold at least two properties since March 2022, including one just days before her disappearance.

In March, she sold a home in Cohasset, Massachusetts, for nearly $1.4 million and purchased a home in DC for $1.3 million.

Since 2018, she sold at least four properties worth
