Course Creator | Natalie Bayfield

Natalie invented real estate financial modelling (REFM) as a subject in its own right. She developed the very first course on REFM leading to degree status, MPhil Real Estate Finance at the University of Cambridge. Using her unique integrated KPI-led approach, Natalie has consulted on the financial and operational viability for major retail developments and new city projects all over the world.

Natalie is committed to sustainability and has a long-term interest in urban dynamics. As well as working with large international shopping centres, in her spare time she volunteers for the remote Glendale Highland Market on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, which she helped establish in 2015.
