Why Aren’t We Building Beautiful Homes in the UK? An Interview with Toby Leek, NAEA Propertymark President!

In this episode, Toby Leek, President of NAEA Propertymark, shares his thoughts on a pressing issue in the UK property market, the lack of beautiful, well designed homes. As someone with a deep passion for architecture, Toby explains why it’s not enough to simply build homes; they need to be attractive, practical, and in the right locations.

Toby argues that while the UK has ambitious housing targets, simply ticking boxes and hitting numbers won’t lead to lasting success. The homes we build today need to stand the test of time, both in design and in their ability to meet people’s needs. With a coordinated effort between architects, builders, and the government, Toby believes we can make the dream of beautiful homes a reality again.
