The Master's Thesis analyzes a logistic background of the Czech Republic in the context of the recent economic crisis and its influence on the development of selected indicators of the logistic market. The objective of the Thesis is to evaluate the impact of these aspects on lo-gistic competitiveness of the Czech Republic in Central and Eastern Europe. The Thesis de-scribes the current situation of the European logistic market together with the main future development trends. The recent development on logistics and industrial property market is worked out in detail, including the changes in attractiveness of logistics locations and criteria influencing developers' activities. Subsequently the Thesis analyzes the situation in logistics and transport infrastructure, characterizes the freight transport and presents current options for their further development. The final part of the Thesis introduces options for education in logistics available in the Czech environment.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the problem of gazumping, to consider the various factors which give rise to it, to examine the adequacy of existing legal doctrine in redressing it, to explore statutory provisions designed to reduce gazumping and to propose reform of the law to address the problem. The term gazumping refers to a practice by which a vendor accepts a purchaser's offer to purchase land or property, and before exchanging contracts, withdraws from the existing agreement in order to accept a higher price from another purchaser. This thesis proceeds on the assumption that gazumping is an undesirable practice, particularly from the prospective purchaser' perspective. The practice of gazumping initially boomed in a volatile property market with constantly rising house prices and where demand exceeded supply. A purchaser who believes he or she has secured the purchase of his or her desired property may suffer emotional stress and significant costs which cannot be recovered when the vendor reneges on his or her agreement. The thesis notes that gazumping occurs at the pre-contractual stage in the sale of property because there is no legally binding relationship before the formal exchange of contracts. The thesis posits that the existing law in various Australian jurisdictions offers inadequate protection to prospective purchasers of property. The thesis examines the inadequacy of existing legal doctrines and remedies in addressing the problem of gazumping at the pre-contractual stage and arrives at the conclusion that existing legal doctrine is inadequate. The thesis notes legislative and other measures in response to gazumping in Australia and other common law jurisdictions and concludes that these too were inadequate in not going far enough to eliminate or reduce gazumping. The competing merits of these approaches are considered. The thesis establishes that the solution to gazumping lies in an early protection of the purchaser�s interest in land. This is because as soon as an agreement is enforceable the purchaser acquires an equitable interest and in the event of any breach of the agreement by the vendor, the purchaser, as a general rule, can obtain either damages or specific performance. The thesis raises seven key recommendations for law reform aimed to minimise the occurrence of gazumping and to provide the purchaser with tools against the practice of gazumping. It considers that the recommendations can minimise the undesirable practice of gazumping where the current law is inadequate and also achieve several other objectives.

When considering the valuation techniques of income-producing property, various types of information should be obtained from the market in order to apply them to the valuation of the property under consideration. This includes the comparison with other properties sold in the market. However, due to the illiquid nature of property, especially those typically owned by institutional investors, such transactions do not take place every day. Therefore the necessary information is not always readily available, and also not of the required quality. In order to try and eliminate this problem, the study considers the possibility of using alternative information to indicate market activities. Various studies have considered the similarities of direct real estate and indirect real estate. Most of these studies compare the investment returns of the two markets. This study extends the research by specifically looking at the unique property loan stock structure of South Africa, and comparing the value of shares to the value of assets. It therefore offers a more comprehensive explanation of the factors over and above the return received on the investment. It furthermore considers the composition of the property portfolio and the possibility to measure individual property values within such a portfolio. The outcome of the study is a model that allows property valuation and market interpretation from fundamental principles, with supporting evidence from the listed-property investment market. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / gm2013 / Construction Economics / unrestricted

The goal of this final essay is to present and evaluate the industrial and storage property market in the Czech Republic, to highlight its strengths and weaknesses, to compare it with the trends in other segments and with international statistics, and to estimate the direction of future development. A significant part deals with the realisation of projects in the form of regenerating brownfields, renewing and re-using damaged territory.

The study examines five different development areas in Stockholm, factors that influenced the development and similarities between them. The term "Trendline 5S" is coined and includes Stockholm City, Stockholm Odenplan, Stockholm, Sollentuna and Sigtuna. The results indicate many similarities between the areas and the most crucial elements are the short distance to the airport, transport links and major construction projects. Other factors, which were not as measurable as the previous ones but yet important, were the popularity of the area, desire to settle down, access to services such as supermarket, shopping, culture, etc. and also the "hustle and bustle". Previous research has highlighted the importance of sustainable development and concepts such as "The Creative Class" and "Smart City" are efforts to accelerate the process through creative thinking and new information technology. The phenomenon of the so-called trendline could possibly be found in studies of other areas in the world and thus provide a decision support system for many stakeholders in the property market. / Den här studien undersöker fem olika utvecklingsområden i Stockholm, faktorer som påverkat utvecklingen och samband mellan dem. Begreppet "Trendlinjen 5S" myntas och innefattar Stockholm City, Stockholm Odenplan, Solna, Sollentuna och Sigtuna. Resultatet pekar på många likheter områdena emellan och de mest centrala faktorerna är närheten till flygplats, kommunikationsförbindelser och större nybyggnadsprojekt. Andra faktorer som inte varit lika mätbara, men dock minst lika viktiga, har varit attraktiviteten av området, viljan att bostätta sig där, närhet och tillgänglighet till service såsom mataffär, shopping, kultur o.s.v. och även "liv och rörelse". Tidigare forskning har belyst vikten av en hållbar utveckling och koncept såsom "The Creative Class" och "Smart City" är satsningar för att påskynda den processen genom kreativt tänkande och ny informationsteknologi. Fenomenet med den så kallade trendlinjen skulle möjligen kunna påträffas vid studier av andra områden i världen och därmed också kunna fungera som beslutstödsystem för flera intressenter på fastighetsmarknaden.

Consumer shopping preferences has changed in today’s society. E-commerce is rapidlygrowing and the turnover for physical stores is effected negatively. A segment that hashad an upswing in recent years is the warehouse and logistic property market. Thechange in consumer behavior requires property owners to adapt to the development indemand from their tenants. Furthermore, e-retailers must adapt to how they managethe warehouse and logistic operations. The thesis investigates the development of thewarehouse and logistic property market and if e-commerce has an effect on theproperty segment.Results show a growth in rent levels, negative yield development and an increase intransaction price per square meter. This is further confirmed by interviews held duringthe thesis process. Interviews has been executed with three different segments;warehouse and logistic property owners, retail property owners as well as e-retailers.The development of yield and rent levels show an increase in demand within thewarehouse and logistic property segment and the new developments illustrates thesame for the supply. Furthermore, the transaction price suggests an increase in theinterest for this property segment, compared to 10 years ago. Simultaneously, the ecommerceis rapidly increasing and will expand even more in the future.The effect of e-commerce on the warehouse and logistic property market means newrequired solutions within the warehouse and logistic properties. Focus for the future ison flexibility, automation and other creative solutions. Furthermore, tenant fitting-outand new constructions within the segment is required. / Konsumenters preferenser och köpvanor har förändrats vilket har genererat en ökade-handel. Detta har i sin tur påverkat omsättningen för den fysiska handeln negativt.Samtidigt har fastighetssegmentet lager- och logistik haft en positiv utveckling desenaste åren. Förändringen i konsumentbeteende kräver att fastighetsägare anpassarsig till det ändrade behovet från deras hyresgäster. Dessutom, måste ehandelsföretagenanpassa och ändra sin lager- och logistikhantering. Detta arbeteundersöker utvecklingen på lager- och logistikfastighetsmarknaden samt om ehandelnpåverkat fastighetssegmentet.Resultat visar en tillväxt i hyresnivåer, negativ utveckling av avkastningskravet samten ökning i pris per kvadratmeter. Vidare bekräftas detta även av de intervjuer somhölls under studien. Intervjuerna genomfördes inom tre olika segment; lager- ochlogistikfastighetsägare, fastighetsägare inom detaljhandel och slutligen ehandelsföretag.Utvecklingen av hyresnivåer och avkastningskrav uppvisar en ökadefterfrågan inom lager- och logistikfastighetssegmentet och antalet nybyggnationervisar det samma för utbudet. Vidare demonstrerar de ökade transaktionspriserna perkvadratmeter ett ökat intresse från investerare. Samtidigt ökar e-handeln snabbt samtär förväntad att fortsätta expandera de kommande åren.Den växande e-handeln har en påverkan på lager- och logistikfastighetsmarknaden iform av nya lösningar inom lager och logistikfastigheter. Fokus för framtiden ärflexibilitet, automatisering och andra kreativa lösningar. Dessutom krävs merhyresgästanpassningar och nybyggnationer inom segmentet för att bemöta denstigande efterfrågan.

Sverige och omvärlden har de senaste åren varit under påverkan av den, än idag, rådande Covid-19 pandemin. Pandemin har påverkat vardagen som resultat av nedstängningar, riktlinjer och lagar som medfört ett förändrat förhållningssätt till samhället. Arbete, studier och diverse sysselsättningar anordnades digitalt och bostaden fick därmed en mer central roll i vardagen, men så även sekundära bostäder i form av fritidshus. Studien har till avsikt att undersöka hur pandemin påverkat transaktionsmönstret för dessa fritidshus på den svenska fastighetsmarknaden. För att gå tillväga med detta har pandemi- och transaktionsdata inhämtats. Ett säreget poängsystem har sedan tillämpats för att utse 10 av Sveriges mest representerbara kommuner för rekreationsändamål. Dessa 10 kommuner i fråga har sedan studerats utifrån transaktionsdata och hur denna i sin tur förhåller sig till pandemidata på nationell respektive internationell nivå. Resultatet av studien visar på en tydlig ökning av transaktioner för fritidshus under pandemin, i jämförelse med innan pandemin. De underliggande faktorerna för transaktionsökningen är dock svårpreciserade. Studien bidrar till att kartlägga pandemins påverkan på den svenska fastighetsmarknaden och då, mer preciserat, transaktionsmönstret av svenska fritidshus. / Sweden and the rest of the world have under recent years been, and are still to this day, affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic has affected everyday life and our approach to society as a direct consequence of the implementation of various shutdowns, laws and guidelines. Work, study and other occupations have therefore been digitally arranged, which gave the residence a more prominent role in everyday life, something that also applies to secondary residences, in terms of vacation homes. The purpose of this study aims to answer how the pandemic has affected the transaction pattern for vacation homes on the Swedish property market. To proceed and enable this has data regarding the pandemic and transaction history been gathered. Furthermore were 10 counties selected by using a unique, point based system to ensure that these counties were the most representative counties for recreational purposes in all of Sweden. These 10 counties in question were subsequently studied, in regards to their transaction data, and compared to the pandemic data on a national, respectively, international level. The result of the study indicates a noticeably increased number of transactions throughout the course of the pandemic. The underlying causes for this increase are however harder to precise. The study contributes to concretize the actual effect of the pandemic on the Swedish property market, and more precisely, the transaction pattern of Swedish vacation homes.
