As the UK is polled over its membership of the EU today, international investors are preparing to debate questions from the industry on how the vote has affected their investment decisions.
Hong Kong-based Goodwin Gaw, founder and managing principal of Gaw Capital Partners, which commands assets of £17.8bn under management across major global markets, and Victoria Quinlan, chief operating officer of Australia-headquartered international developer Lendlease, will be speaking at London Question Time on 28 June in the UK’s first post-referendum property debate.
With questions having been submitted ahead of the major industry event, heavyweights will be asked whether they think a Brexit, rising interest rates, geopolitical uncertainty, tax reform, a Labour London mayor, commodity price decreases and currency fluctuations will create the perfect storm for corrections in the UK property market, similar to that of the 2008 recession.
Question Time, a free event hosted by EG at Underglobe, at the Globe, SE1, will also cover how the UK can get back to business after the major distraction of the vote, and whether UK real estate is a more or less attractive investment option after the referendum.
The panel will also include Stephen Down, head of central London and international investment at Savills; Charles Staveley, partner and head of real estate investment at Mills & Reeve; and Paul James, head of public affairs at Telefonica O2 UK.
EG editor Damian Wild will moderate the event, which will be attended by leaders in the industry and other business leaders.
