2009 Set to be Another Difficult Year for UK Commercial Property

Edit Article |

Posted: Dec 29, 2008 |



UK commercial property returns in 2008 are set to be the worst recorded for eighteen years and RICS has warned that commercial property values could still fall by a further 25% over 2009 and 2010. For tenants looking for commercial properties to lease this isn’t all doom and gloom as it is resulting in commercial real estate landlords offering increased inducements, incentives and sharp drops in their rents.

The credit crunch has hit the financial services and properties industries the hardest. Canary Wharf is currently one of the most exposed areas in the UK and facing the threat of increasingly empty buildings. As the financial district of London it has been hit hard by the credit crunch and potential tenants have found that there are now many bargain lets to be had.

Despite the negative effects on the financial and properties sectors some industries are in fact seeing and upturn as a result of the credit crunch and are actually seeking out more commercial property. Certain sectors are now actually in their element as a result of Britain’s tightening purse strings. Cash convertors, the Australian founded company that provides pawn broking and other cash raising services has experienced a significant growth in profits compared to previous years which corresponds with the overall decline in the economy and has actually opened a higher than average amount of new stores this year. Their customer base has widened in variety too with it now not being uncommon for city businessmen to visit the store because they need a short-term, quick cash injection.

Other industries experiencing upturns are bailiffs, tax advisers, takeaway providers and any kind of budget provider such as budget hotelier Travelodge or budget supermarket chains Lidl and Aldi. As a result of redundancies and investment downturns some people are having to make huge cutbacks however, the majority are looking for smart ways to save money that don’t affect their current lifestyle too much. For example, having a takeaway or going to a cheaper restaurant rather than fine dining; shopping at a cheaper supermarket and using cheaper hotels for business travel. Companies seeing an upturn despite or in fact because of the credit crunch are in a highly enviable position. Not only are they seeing increased profits but they are also making plans for expansion when the rest of the UK is sitting tight or planning cut backs. Their expansion plans will benefit even further from the credit crunch due to the fact there are now a lot of cut price commercial properties available to these businesses that previously may have been inaccessible.

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

I’m thinking about switching majors from Engineering to Finance. I am only a freshmen in my second semester in the Engineering Program and not sure if I can handle this much stress for the rest of my college years, I was just trying to find a good major to switch to if I decided that’s what I wanted.

Financial Planning and Investment for UK Businesses During Difficult Times

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Financial planning and investment for businesses in the United Kingdom is to date believed to be experiencing quite intricate times. Now that UK business think tanks finally came into admittance that the UK business sector is darkening, and that the current general mood of business confidence has lowered to unimaginable level, it is now of great concern among the Britons, especially the concerned business leaders, how to go about the financial planning and investment in difficult times like this.

Even the projected outlook of the business sector for next year has gone down to its lowest from its former position in June of this year. This supposed buoyancy is quite vital in that it foretells the future production cuts and investments that might be heavily dependent on it. With this shrinking in the British economy, it now becomes highly relevant to know how to deal with the prevailing as well as potential conditions before it becomes more complicated.

Now that the stock market is gliding, almost every common citizen of this country is concerning themselves with queries on how to protect themselves from recession, albeit the newly appointed Business Secretary, Lord Mandelson has rebuffed the term “recession” as well as every implication it induces. Britons are worried about the impact of the recent world economic downswing to their own personal welfare. Aware that this is not merely a run-of-the-mill concern of their everyday lives, and being amply sentient that so much are at stake, even the average Briton is as equally askance of quite essential economic concerns. Nonetheless, there still remain intelligible ways on how to be protect keep ourselves ‘recession-proof.’

Talking about investments, perhaps, there couldn’t be more upsetting to Britons than the thought of falling property prices. They fear the propensity of much of the entire real estate industry to slither; hence, the inclusion and endangering of their own private estates. One way to avoid this is to solicit your lender to keep rate cuts. However obstinate this may sound, it may be the best way for you to save your real estate properties from the consequences of prices sliding down. Even mortgage experts attest to the probable benefits of overpaying, since, according to them, even if prices fall, they may still be able to get the better end of the deal when they reach the stage of remortgaging.

Bonds on the other hand have more stable condition even if and when in the midst of falling interest rates. There is no more a need to belabor this point since we prettily know that bonds are paid with fixed interest rates. Healthcare, moreover, is a more established sector with more stable produce. But with the current downturn in British economy, major pharmaceutical companies now fear the incursion of generic drugs that might dominate the local market.

Further, investors are recommended to consider consumer stocks since consumer companies are able to accomplish a good maintenance of business margins. With respect to relatively new emerging markets, authorities say that they might, in the next year or two, a better bet over the US defensive market.

Apply For Credit Card-Getting Approved For A Credit Card Can Be Difficult

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Getting approved for a credit card can be difficult without a positive credit history working in your favor. It’s a Catch-22: To obtain a credit card, you need a good credit history. But to have a good credit history, you need to establish good credit!

This no-win cycle can keep people with a non-existent, limited or negative credit history from getting approved for a credit card. But it doesn’t have to if you understand the type of credit cards available and how to build a good credit history.

When it comes to credit cards, the type of card you apply for will depend on your situation. If you’re a student, you’ll, naturally, sign up for a student card. But if you’re a non-student with a non-existent or bad credit history, a card that is secured or obtained with a co-signer may be your best option. With co-signed credit cards, the co-signer guarantees and is responsible for the debt. This means that the co-signing person is responsible for paying the full amount of the debt if the card holder doesn’t pay. In fact, when co-signed debt goes into default, three out of four times co-signers are normally asked to repay what is owed, according to the Federal Trade Commission.

Furthermore, the issuing bank can attempt to settle the debt without first trying to collect from the card holder. The bank can also use the same collection methods against the co-signing individual, including suing and garnishing wages. If the debt is not paid, it can leave a negative mark on the credit history of the co-signer, as well as the card holder.

Despite the risks, a co-signed credit card can be great tool for helping a friend or relative build their credit history so they can one day obtain a card on their own. Secured, co-signed and pre-paid credit cards offer viable options. But you should start building a strong credit history, so you can obtain a regular credit card on your own in the future.

First, you need to understand how credit card issuers determine credit worthiness. The approval criteria varies from among issuing banks, but generally relates to what’s often called the three C’s of credit: capacity, character and collateral. Capacity refers to your ability to pay based on your income and existing debt. Collateral refers to any assets you have that can secure payment, such as bank accounts or home ownership. Character refers to factors like your payment history, length of employment, etc.

 

To get a good idea about how your application will fare with credit card companies, check your credit history with one of the major credit reporting agencies: Experian (www.experian.com), Equifax (www.equifax.com) and TransUnion (www.tuc.com). These agencies access your payment information directly from the companies you have credit with, as well as from government agencies such as the legal court system.

Credit reporting agencies use the information in your credit history to determine your credit rating or credit score. Credit scores, also known as FICA or Beacon scores depending on the CRA, generally range from 350 to 850. Most banks will approve you for credit if your score is at least 620. If your rating is 720 or higher, banks will offer you their lowest interest rate.

Generally, y our credit score is determined by your payment history for the last two years. T echnically, CRAs calculate your score using a closely-guarded formula. TransUnion, for example, determines credit scores using a variety of factors, including: how you pay your accounts, how much you owe and how often you’ve applied for credit.
