Looking at the future, but also reacting in the present. As a property developer or contractor, you need to do more than just manage your long-term planning. You must also adapt continuously, responding to new trends, developments, legislation and challenges. You need to set priorities and take action at the right moment.
Staying in control is essential. That calls for a proactive advisor with broad real estate expertise. Someone who helps you to map out your route and steps up when it’s all hands on deck. Our real estate experts understand the hurdles you face, and gladly help you turn challenges into opportunities.
Resources and staff: daily challenges
In day-to-day business, there are several sector-wide issues at play. You are not alone in facing staff shortages and resource scarcity. Or logistical problems, for example. Challenges in the production process can pose a threat. Whether you’re on the construction site yourself or managing larger real estate projects from the office, you’re expected to solve problems in the supply chain every day. Or better still: know how to prevent them. This requires an overview and decisive action.
Proactively involving a solution-driven advisor, you can deal with daily challenges, without losing sight of the future of your business.
Legislation and optimisation: continuous points of attention
Legislation in the real estate sector is changing fast. From minor adjustments (with major consequences) to entirely new incentives. And tax changes in areas such as real estate transfer tax and VAT also require your attention: you need to be up to speed. This way, you can anticipate changing rules and incorporate new legislation into your plans in time.
Our experts can calculate, or recalculate, the tax burden on your projects, taking into account changing legislation and circumstances. You can also rely on our expertise to optimise your business structure and guide transactions.
Sustainability, social interest and real estate transformation: vision for the long term
Sustainability plays an increasingly important role in the real estate sector. Sometimes this takes the form of new legislation and reporting requirements, such as CBAM. And sometimes your client or customer demands more insight into your sustainability policies. To measure is to know, and you are expected to be able to make your position clear. These fast-paced developments require your constant attention in order to stay compliant.
But don’t forget that greening and sustainability initiatives also present opportunities. Seize your role as an early adopter and trendsetter. Use the available green subsidies. Capitalise on new alternatives such as tiny houses, or transform commercial properties into sustainable homes.
Baker Tilly’s experts can provide insight into the trends and opportunities and help you make your business more future-proof than ever.
