Educational Seminars From Intellectual Property

Source : Property Report, 3 Sept, 2007

Intellectual Property, a specialist in emerging property markets, will signal its new presence in Singapore in September, when it stages a seminar at the Swissotel and opens an office in The Concourse on Beach Road. The Hong Kong-based firm was launched last September by founder Tim Murphy, who will be the MC and one of the speakers at the Singapore seminar on September 18, which kicks off a series around Asia.

“The seminars will overview the world’s next new growth property markets. We’ll offer potential investors advice on how to select the most profitable markets and how to select the best properties within those destinations,” said Murphy, CEO of Intellectual Property, whose team includes ex-employees from Knight Frank, Prudential, The Henley Group and Dahsing Bank.
Intellectual Property will host further education seminars in Kuala Lumpur (Mandarin Oriental) on September 19, Hong Kong (Ritz-Carlton) on September 20 and 22, and finally in Tokyo (Roppongi Hills Club) on September 26.

The diverse line-up of speakers talking on their markets of expertise will include Marc Townsend, Managing Director of CB Richard Ellis in Vietnam; Rohan Cavaliero, Director of 99East in Malaysia; Robert Chojnacki, CEO of redNet Group in Poland; and Henry Madden Dehouche and Paul Irvine of Dehouche Land in Brazil.

Murphy expects the new Singapore office and the series of seminars to increase the regional presence of the company, which was one of the exhibitors at the recent International Homebuyer and Property Investor Show at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

Intellectual Property’s services include providing clients with information on the economic fundamentals of emerging markets, and managing the process of buying properties, including selection, mortgaging, legal aspects, renting and on-selling. In the last six months, the company has transacted US$85 million of property on behalf of its clients.

“We treat property the same way as investments, focusing on bricks and mortar that will deliver long or short-term capital growth as well as solid rental return on investment,” says Murphy, who personally invests in a minimum of 30 units in every development his company promotes. The company’s present projects include Seni Mont’ Kiara in Kuala Lumpur, Prime Mansion 31 in Bangkok and Indochina Riverside Towers in Danang.
