Estates Gazette Property Podcasts

Jess Harrold is joined by editor Sam McClary and news editor Pui-Guan Man for the first podcast round-up of the year, beginning with a clarion call to the industry to keep decency at the top of the agenda in challenging times.

Together, they discuss the state of the sheds sector, with Amazon setting out plans to shut three warehouses in the UK, which could bring some 1.3m sq ft of space back to the market.

But who will be 2023's first champion in the quiz of the week?

Following the lifting of the moratorium on forfeiture for commercial rent arrears on 25 March 2022, commercial landlords once again have a range of options available to either recover outstanding debt or regain possession of their premises.

To discuss those options, Sarah Jackman is joined by Ian McEwan and Paula Green, property dispute partners at law firm RWK Goodman. They remind listeners of the restrictions imposed under the moratorium, reflect on the arbitration scheme and consider which remedy might be appropriate in a particular scenario.

Jess Harrold is joined by editor Sam McClary, deputy editor Tim Burke and news editor Pui-Guan Man for a special podcast review of 2022.

Together they discuss how the year started out brightly before storm clouds gathered as a result of the war in Ukraine, rising energy prices, inflation and the economic and political volatility that resulted.

What is the state of the property market and its various sectors as 2022 draws to an end? What are their expectations, and even hopes, for 2023? And, most importantly of all, who will triumph in the very special quickfire quiz of the year?

In this EG TechTalk episode of the EG Property Podcast EG editor Samantha McClary is in conversation with Tripty Arya, founder of Tratvus, an AI technology company focused on multi-family real estate and John Helm, partner at RET Ventures, which recently led a $4m funding round into the business.

In this 35-minute listen find out what it is like securing funding for a US business that is committed to being based in the UK, what that new funding from RET Ventures means for the growth of Travtus, insights into the US multifamily market, and why while investment is great (and necessary for growth) it is partnership that really adds value.

Listen in for all that and much, much more.

Enjoy.

In EG's final 2022 episode of In on the Act, Sarah Jackman speaks to Falcon Chambers' Oliver Radley-Gardner KC about the requirements contained in the Agriculture Act 2020.

They discuss the reasons why it was implemented, the timeframes for compliance and how landowners need to respond.

Sarah Jackman and Jess Harrold present their annual count down of the 10 biggest property law decisions of the year.

From planning to telecoms, from enfranchisement to proprietary estoppel, these are the judgments with the biggest implications - and, for the top five, some special guests lend their expertise to explain their importance.

But which case will secure the coveted number one slot?

Tough times lie in wait for the industry’s squeezed middle, according to straight-talking Compton co-founder Shaun Simons, who warns of a very difficult year ahead both for average agents and for owners of mid-range office stock.

Compton is a City Fringe office specialist and sits at the top of the area’s Radius On-Demand Rankings, with 818,000 sq ft transacted across 144 deals.

Simons believes there has been a polarisation of the office market whereby demand will remain strong for either best-in-class stock or for “cheap and nasty” space so long as it is priced accordingly. The problem area, he believes, will be all the “sludge” that falls between the two. He also believes many “average” agents who prospered prior to the pandemic are going to struggle as the market becomes increasingly competitive.

Welcome to the third episode of EG Property Podcast's Fundamentals of the Future series, recorded live at our Sustainable Outcomes: Make better ESG decisions event.

This episode, recorded as part of a panel discussion, dives into the S of ESG and questions whether measurement really matters, if a badge of some sort would drive more action and whether delivering social value is actually the core purpose of the built environment.
