Our research output

As of Q3 2023, the Department of Property’s research output presents an intricate and diverse landscape of scholarly inquiries into the property market and the built environment. The portfolio of studies encompasses intricate analyses, such as investigating how location affects client valuations for loan security within emerging sub-markets. The enduring issue of housing affordability, particularly magnified in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, is another key focal point, with multiple studies scrutinising the role of central banking policies. The spectrum of research further extends into the intricate economics of retail and tourism, offering penetrating insights into the repercussions of shopping tourism on retail avenues and the ‘touristification’ impact on high-street rents.
Additional dimensions of exploration include innovative pedagogical approaches and the complex challenges of post-earthquake recovery. Contributions that delve into student performance within blended learning environments lend further depth to an already robust research milieu. Collectively, these scholarly endeavours continue to offer vital perspectives illuminating pressing trends and challenges, enriching the knowledge base for academics, industry professionals, and policymakers alike.
