About
The Investment Property Databank Company ( IPD )
Until
recently, Investment Property Databank ( IPD ) was run by
a long-established management team, who held majority control in
the equity of the business. The core of Directors - including co-founders
Rupert Nabarro and Ian Cullen - have been with the company from
start-up in 1985. However, from 2002, IPD has had new blood - in
the form of a new CEO, Graham Hill. The rest of the Board comprises
respected experts in their fields, most with at least ten years'
IPD experience.
To guarantee its independence, Investment Property Databank is devoted
exclusively to the objective measurement and analysis of property.
It does not invest in the market, and does not offer any direct
investment advice.
Their
headquarters and central processing facilities are in London. An
all-graduate staff of over 100 includes economists, surveyors, statisticians
and IT specialists, in teams dedicated to major business areas and
clients groups.
IPD
services outside the British Isles are run in conjunction with partner
organisations in each country. These arrangements are developed
flexibly with local needs and conditions, sometimes through an existing
professional or trade association, in other cases through joint-venture
or subsidiary companies.
Both
in the UK and overseas, IPD's technical and product development
are attuned to the needs of users through networks of expert and
advisory groups. Continuous development ensures that their services
stay at the forefront of technical advancement - in property measurement,
in benchmark and index construction, and the electronic delivery
of outputs. Their current initiatives include work on the standardisation
of valuations and property data, the regulation of benchmark reporting,
and higher-frequency data collection and reporting.
