Abstract
The property market cycle has many players who influence its stability both directly and indirectly. Many studies have been carried out to define the structure and operation of property markets. This paper aims to analyse property market operation and to assess to what extent it has succeeded in meeting the objectives of built environment economics. Starting with a summary of the current state of property market, the findings of the paper suggests ways to overcome obstacles within the current property market in which different facts of the property market might be adapted for use in the near future. In particular it describes how it is possible to define value factors in a more flexible way taking account of the particular characteristics of property market cycles in the UK.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
