Property portfolio management can be a highly specialized business. The wide variety of possible land interests, the fact that property has no central marketplace as an investment medium, and the high level of secrecy that often surrounds property deals mean that investing in property is very risky for the unwary and untrained. This introductory text on property portfolio management focuses specifically on the investment context of property transactions. Analyzing methods of appraisal, creation, risk and returns for both individual investments and full portfolios; examining the involvement of major investors in the property market; exploring various strategies for managing investment property; and discussing trends in both national and international arenas, "Property Portfolio Management" is aimed at those who seek to maximize return and minimize risk in this uncertain environment with its concise comparisons of options available to the investor. This book should be of interest to students and professionals in the fields of property, estate management, development economics, surveying and investment analysis.

Developing Property Sustainably

Developing Property Sustainably introduces readers to the key issues surrounding sustainable property development in the global marketplace. Pulling together received wisdom and original research, the authors provide a clear and practical overview of the sustainable property development process as well as a critical appraisal of the problems faced by global built environment stakeholders. Throughout, the authors demonstrate how the property development industry could and should respond better to debate on sustainable practices in the built environment by adopting more rigorous measurement techniques and sustainable approaches. Starting by exploring key definitions and stakeholders, the book goes on to explore finance, planning, construction, procurement, occupation, retrofit and lifecycle sustainability in order to provide the reader with a detailed understanding of all the issues involved in the delivery of sustainable property development from inception to occupation and beyond. Throughout the book, international case studies are used to demonstrate how sustainable property development is applied in practice around the world. With a logical chapter structure and accessible writing style, Developing Property Sustainably would be perfect for use on undergraduate and postgraduate modules and courses in real estate development, property and urban development and other built environment programmes.

The issue of what constitutes a sustainable building is both topical and important. But is a sustainable building synonymous with 'green construction' or does it go beyond with materials to embrace matters such as location, adaptability or the building's relationship with its cultural and social setting?

Estates Gazette

The education of the real estate professional is changing and aligning itself more closely with the world of business. This book takes a new approach to property appraisal by exploring the pricing mechanism in this changing context. It: 
<ul> <li>develops the notion of the pricing mechanism in relation to property 
</li> <li>covers practical issues of comparison and the real problems in applying valuation theory 
</li> <li>explores calculations - including social and environmental worth - ignored in other texts</li> </ul>
 As real estate professionals now advise both on strategic and operational aspects of built assets, they must take into account practices of other investment markets and see investors as competitors to owner-occupiers. Both owner-occupiers and investors have to assess accurately how their buildings perform but also be aware of wider sustainability issues, and social and environmental responsibilities. Real Estate Appraisal: from value to worth meets these new demands by examining the latest techniques of the marketplace; developing an understanding of both market appraisal and worth; and highlighting the emerging role of sustainability as a driver for decision-making in real estate. Written by a group of highly experienced lecturers and professionals at the cutting edge of investment practice, the book has an accessible style and authoritative coverage, for both students and practitioners facing changes in established ways of working.
