Provides results of a survey of 53 banks and financial institutions
relating to property loans. Notes that the main lending banks have not
responded to this survey but have reduced their loans to property
companies by £117m in January 1991. Concludes that respondents to
the survey have a greater interest in property lending and, therefore,
the results are likely to be more positive than current market reality.

"In The Abuse of Property, Daniel Loick offers a multifaceted philosophical critique of property, arguing that property rights are not conditions of freedom or justice, but deficient, dysfunctional, and harmful ways of interacting with other people and the natural environment"--

Vogt shows that many diverse and contentious subjects - including aboriginal struggles, threats to the environment, and the distribution of power in the workplace - turn on the question of how property rights should be defined and distributed.

Summary This paper, which was originally presented as the inaugural lecture of the Centre for Studies in Propety Valuation and Management at the City University in March 1987 analyses and explains the various options, both currently available and shortly to become available, which are open to a developer faced with the task of funding a particular scheme. To fulfil these objectives, a hypothetical retail mega‐development has been invented, realistic figures used and the various funding scenarios then applied to it, each on their own merit, with a view to selecting that which most suited the scheme. By way of introduction, the paper looks at the financial resources of the typical property company and then at the parameters which determine the commercial viability of a scheme. The main text then moves on to analyse each of the funding options available starting with short term borrowing, then looking at forward funding and commitment, then the mortgage alternative and finally a look towards the future with an explanation and application of unitisation to the hypothetical scheme. The paper concludes by comparing the various options set out above, giving the would be developer an indication of the merits and drawbacks of each.

Abstract
We explore whether there is evidence of property rights among the homeless, and if so, how these rights are governed. By conducting interviews with 52 homeless people in Cape Town, we show that although the homeless are able to derive some value from assets, and can exclude other members of their community, these rights are precarious and dependent upon state agents not seizing the 'property' and overriding the community's rules of the game. We demonstrate the intersectionality of claims with respect to the same physical property from the varying perspectives of the claimants involved and how this differs depending on the property. Homeless people rely on a community logic to develop rules of the game which results in the appearance of a market logic. In the absence of formal institutions effectively operating in their spaces, they have constituted social norms which provide some semblance of property rights respected intra-group.
