The housing market defied gravity in 2020 with price growth of 7.3%, the first time in modern history that house prices have risen in a recession.

What drove that growth and why do Savills researchers think values will rise by around a fifth by the end of 2025?  And while the country markets look set to continue to attract strong demand, is there hope that prime central London values will recover and when? 

Join Guy Ruddle and Savills guests: Lucian Cook, head of Savills residential research, and colleagues Frances Clacy and Lawrence Bowles who discuss why they have upgraded their house price forecasts.

The industrial & logistics sector has often been perceived as being behind the curve when it comes to concepts like wellness, but this is starting to change especially as ESG continues to race up the agenda for landlords, developers and occupiers alike. Consequently, a warehouse building is no longer focused solely on the logistics and is instead taking a more people-centric approach at design stage. Incorporating everything from biophilia to running tracks and even basketball courts, what was once considered novel, is now a must have.

Join Guy Ruddle and guests: Simon Collett, Lucy Winterburn, Katrina Kostic Samen and Katie Monks as they discuss how the sector is evolving and is more than catching-up when it comes to wellness.

A technological revolution is underway and impacting how we live, travel and communicate with one another. With further advancements in technology we can already see the start of further significant changes to our travel patterns and lifestyle. The introduction of fully driverless vehicles and other technological changes, such as drones, will have far reaching consequences and provide opportunities for the future planning and design of all new developments and logistics sites. Increasingly the growing needs for urban logistics and parcel delivery facilities will have to be considered as part of master planning.

Join Guy Ruddle and Savills planning and industrial & logistics team : Julia Mountford, Andrew Raven and Toby Green who discuss how the technological revolution will impact the way we live, travel and communicate with one another.

Join Guy Ruddle and Savills guests: Alex Lawson, Evelyn Channing and Angus Locke who discuss farmland supply being at a record low in 2020. However, more positively, all farmland classes edged towards a slightly higher value on a national level, and as parts of the post Brexit puzzle are beginning to come together, it’s hard not to see why farmland would not retain its status of long term security.
