Increase in Real Estate Investment Welcomed by AAA

Real estate investment is on the up and will continue to climb throughout the year, claims Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

Boston, MA, USA, July 13, 2011 -- Real estate investment is on the up and will continue to climb throughout the year, claims Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

Their claim is based on the new report from Jones Lang LaSalle’s global capital markets experts. The research findings show that direct real estate investment, on a global scale, increased by seven per cent in the second quarter of the year to $101 billion. The increase on a year-on-year basis was an even more impressive 47 per cent.

Jones Lang LaSalle’s head of international capital, Arthur de Haast, explained that the growth has been driven by increases in North America: “The upswing in activity continues, with exceptional gains in North America, which was late to the recovery, driving that region to the top spot in terms of volumes."

He went on to add that some deceleration in the recovery will likely occur due to debt concerns in some regions and over optimism in emerging economies. However, "The pipeline of product in the market gives us confidence that full-year volumes will reach our forecast of US$440 billion,” added de Haast.

Real estate investment volumes increased by 56 per cent in the US and Canada over the second quarter, compared with the first, while investment within the EMEA region remained steady at around $34 billion. The Asia-Pacific region actually saw a 30 per cent fall in real estate investment compared to the first quarter, partly due to the devastating tsunami and earthquake in Japan. However, the region still recorded healthy year-on-year gains.

Anthony Johnson, an analysis partner at AAA, which advocates alternative investments, such as real estate and forestry, said: “The positive upswing in investments into real estate around the world shows that there is a growing appetite for alternative investments.” He added that real estate in Brazil is still an extremely popular choice, thanks to its expanding economy, however, the rate of investment slowed down slightly from earlier in the year. AAA said it would encourage investment in Brazil as there is still room for major economic growth in the region.

Mr Johnson added, “Investment in managed forestry projects in Brazil through firms like Greenwood Management, offers an opportunity to take advantage of legislation changes to restrict deforestation. The demand for forestry products both from within Brazil and elsewhere is still growing, but the wood now much increasingly some from sustainable sources.”

Company Winding-up Petitions on the Rise in the UK

Distressed business information provider, the Business Sale Report, has revealed figures showing a 22 per cent increase in the number of winding up petitions lodged through the courts in the second quarter of this year, compared to the same period last year.

Putney, London, UK, July 13, 2011 -- The Business Sale Report, which provides information on distressed businesses, has released figures showing a 22 per cent increase in the number of winding up petitions lodged through the courts in the second quarter of this year, compared to the same period last year.

These figures continue the upwards trend of 2011, which began with a 30 per cent rise in winding-up petitions numbers in the first of the year over the first quarter of 2010.

In the period April to June 2011, general construction, civil engineering and real estate sectors were the hardest hit sectors, with an average 50 per cent increase in the number of petitions lodged in their respective categories. Unsurprisingly, London and the surrounding Home Counties are once again the areas that have seen the most petition claims.

The increase comes as a direct result of businesses defaulting on repayments to creditors or brought about by a company’s failure to meet tax repayment schedules arranged with HMRC. With the new coalition government taking a harder line on tax avoidance, failure to meet payment schedules is now almost certain to result in the termination of previously made tax arrangements with HMRC. In almost all cases, this is then followed by a petition to wind the company up.

A winding-up petition applies to a company, rather than an individual, and if a business is insolvent at the time of winding up, the creditors will usually receive a percentage of what they are owed. If the petition is successful, an insolvency practitioner is appointed by the court to conclude the company’s affairs, before it is finally dissolved.

Corporate barrister Donald Ideh told the Business Sale Report: “It is still the case that some companies abuse the winding up process by using it as a debt recovery process. However, despite these issues, it is very likely that there has been a significant increase in the overall number of petitions presented when compared with the previous year. The more useful comparison will be at the end of the financial year when we look at the figures of final orders granted when compared with the previous year. All indications suggest at this stage that the figures are going up."

The Business Sale Report monitors distressed business activity including all winding-up petitions lodged in the UK this year.
