The credit crunch continues to hound major institutions whose appetite to fund property propositions and see out existing commitments is clearly not in favour, regardless of the quality and experience of the management behind those propositions. Market sentiment in the property world is desperately down and vigilant. Business sentiment and the general economic outlook globally is gloomy and uncertain with no clear end in sight.
In times such as this, it is absolutely essential for commercial survival to be agile and responsive to changing markets and try to buck the trend. The smart players will adapt and focus their economic use of vital resources to help steer the business through the economic volatility and be poised to take advantage of the upturn.
With this in mind, Mazars and guest speakers from JC Rathbone Associates Limited will provide attendees with food for thought on some taxation and interest rate opportunities to assist in managing their property interests more cost effectively in this difficult climate.
