Abstract

This paper questions whether carrying out the ‘sale‐and‐leaseback’ of corporate real estate is compatible with achieving the flexibility and cost effectiveness that companies need in the operation of their facilities. It looks at the advantages and disadvantages of sale‐and leaseback transactions and analyses how these compare with achieving wider business planning issues. The paper also reports on new real estate techniques pioneered by corporate real estate partnerships (REPs) transactions in Europe and examines whether this form of outsourcing is more in harmony with the goals of the modern corporate.
