INTERVENTIONISTS - Always happy to share my views, but doing these columns for Green Street News: Europe always pushes me to make that extra effort, given the sheer quality across all of its output. Hopefully this isn't too far off the mark! There are a lot of complexities in planning, renters' rights and tax policy impact all ends of the market. Some companies don't help themselves by acting poorly, some act well but tell the story badly. And sometimes, stupid policy interferes and everything goes to **** - with investor confidence plummeting. Grenfell put the housing sector in the spotlight and left everyone with a terrible taste in their mouth. Regardless of who you are in this sector, you were tarnished by it. Make no mistake. Making the case for "good development" has gotten a lot harder. But have hope. Without you, the UK's government's growth promises will not come through. They need YOU. I have tried to capture all of this and reinforce some of the main points the sector needs to hammer home to policymakers, particularly in Ireland and Scotland where common sense seems to have been put into a big hole filled with concrete. Do share this article and as ever, I'm always happy to chat and shoot the breeze on how the industry can enhance its interface with the world. And keep subscribing to Green Street News: Europe of course. David Hatcher Guy Montague-Jones Jessica Middleton-Pugh James Buckley https://lnkd.in/gqMFWnEh

With some of the UK’s largest regeneration projects hanging in the balance, the Government faces an uphill struggle as funders and developers leave the sector. In a recent article for Green Street News, our Managing Director, Barry Jessup joins industry thought leaders to discuss the challenges regeneration projects are facing.   Compared to a decade ago, just a handful of companies remain that are capable of taking on these large-scale, long-term and complicated projects. Regeneration is “undoubtedly” harder than it was 20 years ago – and though the benefits of mixed-use developments are better understood – new rules and regulations, though well intentioned, complicate matters.   Read more about Barry's thoughts and how other leading names in the industry feel in the full article (subscribers only): https://lnkd.in/g2T2sPgk   #regeneration #development #investment #projects #planning #regulations

New figures from Savills have revealed that European real estate investment volumes picked up in Q3 – with year-on-year growth of 15% to €37.1bn.

There are clear challenges facing Europe's economy, although I'm feeling more positive for the office sector in 2025, as we enter a period of falling interest rates, increasing occupier demand and returning buyer pools, supporting the return of core investment transactions. I share my thoughts with Julie Cruz at Green Street News: Europe...
