Key findings -- Introduction -- Defining ownership -- The City and the market: context -- Long-run change: evidence from the Reading database -- Ownership and occupation: evidence from the London office database -- Conclusions and implications
Investigates changes in the City of London property market between 2001 and 2005. Shows that 45% of space - some three million square metres - is owned by non-UK investors. Highlights the increasing fragmentation of ownership, with many buildings owned jointly or by collective investment vehicles and funds. The ownership patterns are an indicator of the strengths and attractions of the City market, but also create risks - of greater volatility and vulnerability to external shocks. Tables and graphs.
