Introduction – The Company

Chris Simmons has many years of experience in forecasting the property market on a global basis.

The Mission

Our aim is to provide accurate and reliable forecasts and then help you interpret their implications for your business.

Whether you are an investor, an occupier or a property advisor, accurate property forecasts are a vital element in determining your returns and profits.

To an investor, rental growth is a critical driver of rental income. This rental income, combined with the capital appreciation, makes up the total return on your investment. Real Estate Forecasting Limited can provide these rental and capital growth forecasts and can apply it to your investments to determine the returns. The return on equity is often part of the story and the geared return after allowing for debt secured on the investments is also important and can also be assessed on standing investments or potential purchases.

To the occupier rent is an important part of costs and this will directly affect profit. An assessment of rental growth will enable this cost to be forecast to use in budget projections or in determining where and when to open a new retail outlet, office, factory, workshop.

To the property advisor, all these considerations apply. You may be an expert in fund management, portfolio strategy, valuation or agency but you will need to know what the future is likely to bring. Not only will it help you do your job, but clients have come to expect this level of knowledge from all property professionals, whatever their background.
