France, Germany & UK

Finding value in saturated markets 

  • Germany - Pricing dislocation & lack of product; where to find value?
  • UK Dealflow- ‘New’ capital injections or stagnant bid & ask gap?
  • Inbound Appetite into French Real Estate Markets - Direct vs Indirect?
  • Dry Powder Allocations - Lack of product putting a halt in investments?
  • Buyer & Seller Pricing Differences - How to find common ground?
  • Valuations - Stable prices, or chaos to come?
