Catella retains strong position in property advisory services in Europe
Catella acted as advisor in property transactions with a value of approximately SEK 50 billion (51) in 2013. This means that Catella acted as advisor in 6 percent (7) of the total transaction volume in Europe, excluding the UK.
“We are proud to be able to announce a transaction volume of this magnitude and thus maintain our strong position in Europe,” says Johan Ericsson, Head of Corporate Finance at Catella.
The total transaction market for property in Europe, excluding the UK, amounted to SEK 827 billion (736) in full-year 2013, representing an increase of 12 percent.
“Improved financing conditions and increased access to risk-willing investment capital explains the increasing liquidity in the property markets where Catella is active,” comments Johan Ericsson.
Catella’s partner in UK, Strutt & Parker, had sales of properties with a value of SEK 53 billion (17) in the latest twelve-month period. This means that Catella and Strutt & Parker together acted as advisor in 8 percent (6) of the total transaction volume in Europe, including the UK.
Catella conducts property advisory services in three service segments: Sales and Acquisitions; Debt and Equity; and Valuation and Research. The operations are established in 11 European countries and have some 200 employees.
