Property Insights

Posted by James Max on January 17, 2010 at 19:48PM

Do we need legislation against foreign ownership of our power infrastructure? Are global banks immune to any constraints by national governments? And we give you insight into the property market in 2010...

This week, Dan Sabbagh the financial journalist joined me to discuss the big business stories of the week. To be fair – globalisation is with us whether we like it or not. However national governments are going to have to learn to cooperate more. Whilst we argue and apply different measures the globalised entities will simply shun those countries that don’t wish to play their game. What is very clear is that our politicians are playing to the mass audience rather than fixing the problems. Sticking plaster over a gaping wound, I’d say!  

 

And Miles Shipside from www.rightmove.co.uk and Noel De Keyser from Savills www.savills.com joined me to discuss the property markets. As we head into 2010 some are hoping for another market correction. Whilst there might be some wobbles along the way… property appears to be back, not only as somewhere to live but as somewhere to invest. More information on my podcast by the way “Buy it, Sell it, Rent it” – it’s free to download and you might find some inspirational advice. As for the market? Both of my guests think the first half of the year will be positive with perhaps the market will fall after the general election. 

 

 I will be back next Saturday for Breakfast.

 Have a good week!
