Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich BWL - Investition und Finanzierung, Cass Business School, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: When looking at research on office rents in the United Kingdom provided by real estate agents, such as Colliers, it becomes obvious that headline rents vary significantly from location to location.

The paper closes with a conclusion on the findings. […]
