Investment Rationale:
TAMIM Property believes that there exists attractive opportunities to capitalise on the non-linear progression of the Australian real estate market, where proven strategies can be employed to build highly performing, risk mitigated property portfolios over the medium term.
As the property market continues in its “cycle” towards maturation, several factors are conspiring to create dislocations between prevailing pricing and the fundamental intrinsic value of good quality properties across Australia. These factors include:
As the property market continues in its “cycle” towards maturation, several factors are conspiring to create dislocations between prevailing pricing and the fundamental intrinsic value of good quality properties across Australia. These factors include:
- Shortage of debt finance. The majority of commercial banks servicing Australia are significantly motivated by two key initiatives, namely being the rebalancing of property loan books underpinned by legacy assets, and the accumulation of cash reserves to satisfy increased thin capitalisation ratio requirements by Basel III Capital Reforms. This has severely curtailed their lending appetite in a number of market sectors and geographies and will intensify over the next two financial years.
- Excess of competition in core. The “herd mentality” of many traditional/large property buyers (institutions and sovereign wealth funds) has focused their attention purely on the most prime locations and assets of Australia. This has led to an excess of buyers for assets of prime sites, which in turn is affecting pricing in these markets, and has created buying opportunities in supplementary markets.
- Increase in seller motivation. The above factors and their knock-on effects have increased the instances of distress experienced and opportune sales by a number of property owners, resulting in an increased need for liquidity, and hence property disposals, the urgency of which subsequently directly affects product price.
