Developer Housing Land Transactions (CLG)

Lucy Cartlidge and Craig Watkins (University of Sheffield) with David Adams and Chris Leishman (University of Glasgow) have recently completed a study of developer to developer housing land transactions for CLG. The report reveals that land transaction have become an increasingly important source of short term finance for housebuilders. It highlights that the differences in responses to the credit crunch are not driven by the size of the firm or the niches in which they operate. Rather they are more closely related to the financial structures and business models adopted. Contact: Craig Watkins.
