The RICS 2011 European Housing Review looks at the performance of residential property markets in key European economies and provides information on individual countries as well as comparative housing market analysis across Europe. Commissioned and published by RICS, the review is drafted by Michael Ball, Professor of Urban and Property Economics in the School of Real Estate and Planning, University of Reading, UK.
Please find here enclosed the full review as well as the Executive Summaries in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.
RICS and Investment Property Databank (IPD) are proud to present the RICS Valuation and Sale Price Report 2010 which studies data from the IPD Annual Index across the four European markets of France, Germany, The Netherlands and the UK and compares this valuation data against the sale prices of commercial property.
This is the seventh year that RICS has commissioned this study which has become an important barometer for the investment valuation community and makes a very welcome contribution to the transparency and integrity of our market place. The report is particularly important this year in light of the creation of the RICS European Valuation Professional Group Board, with member representatives from the main markets in Europe.

In tackling climate change, increasing focus is being given to the operation of the built environment and it has become clear that improvements in the “sustainability” of buildings can have large effects on the greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency of the economy.
This report, by Piet Eichholtz and Nils Kok of Maastricht University, The Netherlands, and John Quigley of University of California, Berkeley, USA, looks at the financial performance of “green” office building. The report examines the impact of the economic downturn and recent surge in investment in energy-efficient and sustainable office buildings. Importantly, it also disentangles the “green” premium.
