International opportunities for real estate
In recent years, investing in real estate abroad has become increasingly accessible. Whether you are managing a real estate fund or investing in it, you will most likely have to deal with stakeholders across different countries. And even if your business focusses solely on the Netherlands, you may well see international regulations affecting your business and administrative obligations. International greening rules such as CBAM and the EUDR are increasingly relevant in construction and development. Financing and structuring must take into account regulations including earnings stripping rules (limiting interest deduction) and various ATAD-related measures.
The stakes are high
In real estate transactions, the stakes are always high. Even more so in international situations. Aside from having to deal with the regular risks, you may also face regulatory issues. Legislative differences between different jurisdictions for example, or audit and assurance obligations.
Setting up an appropriate structure for your international business may involve a variety of experts in multiple countries. You may need M&A support and due diligence services for an acquisition. Tax advice, audit services and assurance expertise for compliance.
And given the frequent changes to the legislative framework, you need a proactive advisor. Services tailor-made for your business, whether that be managing properties, building investment portfolios, or managing, optimising and expanding international real estate funds and investments.
New realities require new approaches
Businesses worldwide face new challenges and new realities. The real estate sector is no exception. Technological developments such as digitalisation, and the rise of Private Equity in various markets. Geopolitical shifts including Brexit and international sanctioning. Trade wars, financial uncertainty and changing markets. And new priorities such as ESG. Sectors must navigate these challenges with care, and foresight. A continuous re-evaluation of the business model is required, taking into account new legislation, changed valuations, financing requirements and your long-term strategy.
