The global financial crisis has taught European investors to be much more risk-conscious. Banking risk in particular has been a major concern of governments in the wake of the crisis, and the 'Basel 3' capital requirements are likely to have significant impact on lending to property investors. At the same time Solvency II regulations are set to alter overall asset allocations to property. Will these attempts to de-risk investment work? And given the relatively tepid state of European economic recovery, are tighter controls really needed at this point?
