- Estates Gazette (0302) 11 January 2003, 61-78(7) .
Focus on three aspects of the residential property sector. "Institutions remain cool on housing investment" examines why the institutions have singularly failed to invest in the residential sector, when buy-to-let and the private rented sector have been so popular with the individual investor. "Developers claim high ground in homes battle" looks at why the pace of brownfield site development has been slow, with house builders blaming the planning process and home buyers wanting to live in greenfield schemes. "House prices: boom or bust?" compares the forecasts of the major house indices for 2003 after their considerable underestimation of price rises in 2002.
