A panel of four experts will be covering the topics of property values, Peak Oil, Demographics and climate change all glued together by a fabulous MC for the evening. Things for you to think about:

As property investors, we probably reckon that we plan into the future reasonably well. We’ve got to allow for the potential for rates to rise, once our fixed rates come off in 3 years… we hope rents will increase over the next 5 years period… heck, we even consider what our portfolio might be worth in 10 years time.

Talk about looking into the future!! But what about in 20 years, 30 years, 50 years into the future or even further… What are the major emerging trends, and how do they affect us as investors? Don’t miss this debate, it may change the way you invest forever!
