About our real estate services

Who we are

Ernst & Young has the largest integrated real estate practice of any accounting organization, with approximately 7,500 professionals around the globe providing assurance, tax, transaction and advisory services to real estate owners, investors, lenders and owner occupiers – including many funds, REITs and developers.

Since 1 July 2008, our practices in Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa (EMEIA) have operated under a single structure as a key part of a global framework. As such we are the first major professional services organization to bring a borderless approach to the emerging markets of Russia, India, the Middle East and Africa, as well as the established markets of Europe.

This enables us to better leverage our strengths and move swiftly to bring together our teams to serve our clients, drawing on our industry experience across all our services in 87 countries. This enables Ernst & Young’s EMEIA real estate group of 2,300 people to provide professional services to clients to help them meet their business needs, wherever these needs arise.
