SATURDAY'S high-speed train accident, combined with the "constant malfunctioning" of the Beijing-Shanghai bullet train, could dampen property investors' interests in cities along the new railway lines, Credit Suisse said yesterday.
"Saturday's accident could trigger a movement that could affect developers' existing land banks," Credit Suisse said in a research report.
Land sales in several cities along the Beijing-Shanghai bullet train line surged in 2009 and last year, the report said.
Coincidentally, Premier Wen Jiabao last week demanded investigations into the illegal confiscation of land by local governments in the name of railway and highway development.
Credit Suisse maintained an "underweight" rating on China's property sector.
