From talk of buyers rushing to get on the housing as government stimulus measures bear fruit to talk of a buy-to-let boom in the coming years as pensioners take advantage of new liberalised pension rules, the financial pages ooze confidence in the asset class.
The same is true of commercial property and of sentiment among the advisers, investment managers and fund managers that are putting ever more investor capital into commercial property funds. Return forecasts are spiralling upwards; net sales are not far behind.
Tempering all of this of course, is the lingering doubt expressed by many that the market is over-heated, supply-starved and generally in the midst of a pricing bubble that could pop at any moment.
These more cautious voices are growing, but remain outnumbered. The prevailing wisdom appears to be that, even if they are right the trick is to time the market and the supply-demand imbalance alone should keep things moving up for a time yet.
This special report will take a look under the bonnet of commercial property funds to help advisers and investors assess the potential performance of the sector, where to find value, and which funds to back.
