IQE Real Estate Dinner

Posted on 24 July 2012 in IQE Isle of Man

David Karran, Managing Director, and Steve McCafferty, Associate Director, recently hosted a private dinner at Durrants Hotel, London for senior stakeholders from the UK real estate sector.

Guests included property investors, developers, legal representatives and tax and advisory professionals. Gathering first hand market opinion from senior, experienced professionals around the table led to in-depth discussions regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts, the impact of Stamp Duty Land Tax and the broader ongoing challenges around securing both debt and equity. IQE takes a proactive approach by working with both clients and the market and our experience across the commercial and residential sectors allows us to actively and accurately undertake the administration and support of the corporate structures.

Steve McCafferty commented,

Given our significant involvement with international investors and the good activity levels we have seen in the first half of 2012, this dinner allowed us to discuss current events that affect decision making in the real estate sector, specifically those events affecting London based developments.

Reflecting on the private dinner, David Karran said,

We see it as vital that we continue to stay in touch with issues and events that face both the real estate industry and the advisers, given our ongoing involvement with a number of real estate development projects in the UK. The dinner provided us with industry insight and I have received strong positive feedback from those that attended. Our commitment to this sector remains solid.
