The Need to Ensure All Staff Engaged in Real Estate Lending Are Able to Fully Evaluate Opportunities and Assess Risks Has Never Been More Relevant and Necessary Than It Is Today
We all know of the supposed ancient Chinese
curse “May you live in interesting times…”
Well, for real estate professionals these are certainly interesting
times!
There is the political impact of Brexit to play
out in the UK and Europe, the impact of lower oil prices impacting real estate
prices in parts of the Middle East, long term low interest rates in most
markets, the increased capital costs of Basle III and with the impact of a
divisive US election still unclear.
There are also fundamental long term changes
occurring in the industry itself with the trend to shorter commercial leases
with more frequent breaks, the continuing movement of demand from high street
retail to distribution centres as internet retail continues to grow, and
movements in residential markets from build to sell to new professional build
to rent models.
It is at times of market disruption like this
that the principles of good risk management come to the fore, and the high
levels of current uncertainty should be causing Banks to stop and think how
they respond to these changes to ensure they manage this difficult but
important asset class through the cycle.
This course is not about trying to predict what
might happen next – it is about ensuring you are prepared whatever happens
next.
So What Is the
BG Training Solution to These Issues?
BG Consulting has many years real estate
experience and can tailor make a real estate course to client’s specific needs
dependent on both their existing exposures and their ambition for the future.
It can also be designed as either an
introductory programme for new staff less familiar with the real estate market
and working with SME businesses, or as a master class programme for those more
familiar with the sector and currently working with Corporates or looking to do
so.
The programme covers the four main asset classes
of:
- Commercial Investment
- Commercial Development
- Residential Investment including the rapidly growing Purpose Built Private Rented Sector (PBRS)
- Residential Development
The course will be based around the three
fundamental of good real estate lending which are an understanding of:
- Asset quality
- Counterparty risk
- Deal structure
BG Consulting adopts a practical approach to
learning and the course includes a balance between instruction, group
discussion and exercises and real life case studies.
