Property Markets

Property professionals offer advice to their clients on the basis of a duty of care. In particular, a recent recommendation by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors states that formal (technical) forecasts should be taken into account when advising clients, as best practice.

Many people in businesses such as the property and related professions need an early warning system of value changes so that actions relating to acquisitions
and disposals can begin sooner rather than later.

We can provide 3 - 5 year technical forecasts for:

• Residential & Commercial property prices
• Retail, Offices & Industrial - rents & values
• Land & Construction values

The cost of purchasing our forecasts is more than justified by improvements in the timing and judgment they bring to decisions on property transactions.

Our forecasting consultancy services are offered to property professionals looking for a specific series, based on property types or locale. Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements in more detail.

Bespoke Consultancy Services

In many cases and for a multitude of reasons, customised forecasts are required or requested. For example, benchmarking forecast services that include data enhancement are often requested by property researchers, fund managers and financial institutions.

In some cases where a number of bespoke forecasts are required, TFL can leverage the mass forecasting capabilities to offer clients significant cost reductions on consulting services.
