Measured by outstanding loans, CRE lending has had only three states – up, down, and flat.
Through the long boom, capital values rose by 50%, loan books by 120%.
Through the deleveraged recovery, capital values rose by 27%, loan books fell by -35%.
It seems linkages between lending, market value and market activity are highly variable.

Measured by origination volume, links between lending, value and trading are much clearer.
Loan books were cut back by write offs and debt sales; origination has tracked the recovery.
Over the full history, originations correlate at 0.82 with values, 0.60 with trading.
You may note that in from 2005 to 2007, origination and values looked decoupled from trading

Fairly static loan books across a range of capital values does not mean lending is disconnected from market conditions.
The chart plots loan originations against trading, and show a fairly consistent linkage through most years. All years since 2010 fall close to the “predicted” origination volumes.
Perhaps we can add a drift in origination above the levels indicated by trading to the list of amber to red signals for CRE lenders.

The end-product of misjudged borrowing and lending through the middle 2000s was a wave of defaults.
Default here is defined as payment beyond 90 days overdue, covering £155 bn in defaulted loans since 2006.
Across lenders, defaults varied widely in both severity and timing.
Our more detailed analysis suggests the main factors explaining variation in default were the concentration of originations in the mid-2000s, plus loan book exposure to developments and provincial markets.

Loan origination was £22.5 bn in the first half of 2018 – 27% up on the same period last year.23
So the total for 2018 is likely to exceed the £45-£55 billion in each of the previous four years.
UK Banks share in origination ended a long decline in 2016, and has settled close to 50%.

46% of loans originated were secured by Central London assets – 75% for German lenders.
This compares with around 30% of RCA transactions, and 20% of MSCI Annual Index value.
The spreads show German lenders the least, North Americans the most, diversified.
