Immobile property and buildings administration

My comment:

Liegenschaft refers to immobile objects (cf Immobilien), so I felt it necessary to include this somewhere. Doesn't sound very nice, but is specific.

construction and real estate support

My comment:

Just a suggestion from a slightly different angle.
Why limit the term to management or administration alone? It could embrace a range of support available to the industry - even funding for instance.

John, what's your objection? 'real estate' is perfectly acceptable in BE. It's 'realty' in AE. Or did you object on some other ground? Please be specific in your comments to make them more useful to all of us. Regards

Are you a native speaker? 'Landed property' is semi-archaic and inappropriate here.

I believe you're missing a point or two here. Landed property is by no means semi-archaic as I have come across the term on numerous occasions in contracts. By the by, why don't you offer answers (rather than comment on others' answers)?

I agree with Jochen. The term is certainly not archaic as claimed by John, and is used to distinguish between real estate and other kinds of property.

I also must say Jochen has scored a hit with his parting shot!

Thank goodness there are some native speakers answering into their own language.

John, there is something you need to be told: The concepts 'native speaker of English' and 'citizen of Great Britain' are exclusively independent ones, and do not necessarily occur simultaneously in nature. Regards
