It's the year of the 'S' in ESG! Next up we have a star studded panel discussing how we create sustainable, socially conscious neighbourhoods #LDEresi
Amazing case study from Niamh Waldron of @SigmaCapitalLtd showing you can't do social impact from a desktop - you need to get out on the ground and bring a lot of energy! #LDEresi
A packed room today for the #LDEresi conference on ESG and Sustainability in Residential!
Inspiring (and reassuring!) that the sector is taking its social and environmental responsibilities seriously.
Would we make more sustainable choices if our environmental impact were more visible? Marion Baeli of @pdparchitects thinks so + @richard_donnell even thinks we should have mandatory EPCs every 3 years! #LDEresi
Got any questions for our speakers or panellists at today's ESG in Resi conference? Shoot us a tweet tagged #LDEresi and we'll quiz them on stage @LDEProperty
📢Some professional news: today is my last day in Research at @Savills after more than 8 years of learning, analysing, presenting and, occasionally, working.
The experience has been an utter delight, despite @LucianCook's constant teasing.
New job announcement to follow...
Wales has extended its Help to Buy scheme, breaking from the policy direction in England.
Welsh first-time buyers can use the scheme to buy new homes with EPCs of B or better until at least March 2025

Jeremy Hunt had surprisingly little to say about housing in the Autumn Statement.
But plenty of his announcements will have second order effects on housing.

I'm in Dublin for the next couple of days - what should I do/see here, other than gorging on Guinness?
The Chancellor capped affordable rent growth in the #AutumnStatement last week, but frozen Local Housing Allowance means many private tenants face rent hikes with limited support. Read my latest article on how Government must do more to help:

The #stampduty cuts announced in the Truss "mini" Budget are now time-limited. Thresholds will go back to previous levels on 31 March 2025.
Will this be enough to push people to move? Unlikely to have an impact in the short term with mortgage rates so high...

HAs built 1 in 5 new homes over last 5 years (councils just 4%). We need everyone at the table if we want to deliver the affordable homes that are needed, & a planning system that gets homes built whilst securing developer contributions. New report I’ve been pleased to work on 👇
With long-term grant funding & a planning system that supports affordable home delivery, we can maintain & grow the number of homes we build, boosting the economy and tackling need.
