ABSTRACT

The prospect of the arrival of the Single European Market (SEM) at the end of 1992, and the need to think ‘European’ and to operate professionally throughout the SEM, have motivated the preparation of this book. It attempts to adopt the perspective of ‘l’Europe mon pays’, and to help readers take the first steps towards acquiring a level of knowledge of other countries in Europe equivalent to the knowledge that any professional in the field of real estate and planning would take for granted in their own country. Our objective is to provide real estate, planning and property professionals with an introductory guide, assisting them to start the process of learning how to operate in the property market in major countries within western Europe other than their own.
