It wasn't long ago that you could rely on property as a secure and stable asset class. Capital Values were on a permanent incline and yield outperformed most other market sectors. But the recent market "correction" has not only upset the investment apple cart, it has also brought with it an unwelcome side effect - gazundering. The market may have changed, but the key business principles of supply and demand remain and there is still a lot of demand for the right properties. So it is curious to see the re-emergence of this practice. Why is it happening? And what can you do to reduce its effect? You just need a strategic approach and a reasonable level of diligence.
