Valuation and Construction Issues in Real Estate Indices

Author: Hordijk, Aart | Number Of Pages: 165 | Release Date: 01-06-2005 | Details: Synopsis This thesis concentrates on increasing the knowledge and transparency of real estate investments by institutional investors in the Netherlands. Wherever possible, the results have been placed in an international context, comparing them with similar figures, results, and surveys, mainly from the UK and the US. The first part describes the development of a long term time series for real estate returns and office market rental values. Unique databanks have been constructed going back to 1977. The second part studies the valuation consistency and accuracy of the valuations between 1995 and 2002. Recommendations have been made to improve the well known valuation guidelines as established by the Dutch Real Estate Council ROZ. The outcome of the valuation accuracy has been discussed several times at the meetings of the International Valuation Standards Committee (IVSC). An abbreviated version is available via its website. The last part of the thesis makes estimates of the real estate stock, the real estate investments by investors, and the potential investments in real estate in 11 European countries. | EAN: 9789077997017 | Languages: English | Binding: hardcover | Item Condition: UsedLikeNew.…
