Real estate

e) An analysis of the long-term rental growth performance of the UK office market by reference to a simple statistical analysis in real and nominal terms. Data on these aspects are available from the IPD Digest and IPD Key Centres data held electronically in the ARC.
f) A forecast of the annual growth rate of office rents over the next five years. You will need to come to a view on whether you think Reading offices will be better or worse than the national forecasts.
g) An estimate of the yield (capitalisation rate) at which the property could be sold after five years. You will need to investigate published data and you should explain how you arrived at your estimate. You may assume that for a refurbished property the yield will be 0.25% above the yield for a redeveloped/new property.
