Abstract:

This paper aims to examine the relationship between the investors’ key determinants and investors’ decision to buy or invest in a property. The factors include risk of inflation, inflation hedge, property prices, real income of investors, access to financing and interest rates. The data for this research was obtained by conducting a detailed literature review on the key variables. The outcome of this paper is a detailed conceptual background of the paper, which forms the basis for the full study. We hope that this analysis will provide critical materials for the industry as well as for researchers to build capacity, and knowledge in developing relevant scales and measures for their future assessments of property investment within the context of this study.
