On the 26th January Morgan gave a short presentation to the great and the good of the York real estate world.

A motley collection of surveyors, lawyers, accountants, agents and other hangers on where hopefully given some insight into the topics discussed, under the snappy title of:

“The Credit Crunch- What went wrong and the potential implications for the property industry?”

As promised we have made available for download a copy of Our Notes.

In addition we have also uploaded some other documents that might be of interest:

Firstly there is the sub-prime-stickmen1to explain how the sub-prime disaster came about and the dangers of financial dis-intermediation.

Also of interest is a recent Knight Frank Research paper that shows very clearly how the current property crash compares to the 1990’s.

In addition to the most up to date Colliers CRE market report.

To explain why the banks need to address their bad loans before the need to start lending again:

Finally, apologies if you found our presentation a littel too downbeat, far brighter brains than ours think they can already see the-end-of-the-big-freeze.

Should anybody have any questions or further observations, please feel free to make comment below, and we will repsond.
