Real Estate Investment and Finance (BPLN0094)

This module covers the institutions and instruments investing in the commercial real estate globally. It specifically considers the application of investment theories to both the general investment markets and the property market specifically – where and how does property fit in?
The module will begin by considering the unique characteristics of property as an asset class and considers the ‘value’ of an investment: who invests in property and why? The risk and return potential of direct and indirect property will be considered in relation to other investment media, such as stocks and bonds. Diverse ways in which property can be invested will be considered, as well as how such vehicles are managed by investors as an integral aspect of international and multi-asset portfolios.
Market performance, cycles and trends will be considered and relevant models and theories examined. Market forecasting, modelling, indices and the efficiency of the market will be introduced, combining to offer a solid introduction to property as an international investment medium.

One of your modules abroad will be converted to 15 UCL credits.

Financial Economics of Real Estate (BCPM0096)

This module covers the theoretical principles of financial economics in the context of real estate and their basic practical applications. It begins with explaining the basic concepts of finance such as time value of money, financial mathematics, principles of asset pricing, risk and return as well as debt and equity financing.

The second part of the module applies these concepts to real estate in a practical setting by covering the use of automated spreadsheets to calculate expected returns on different investments.
