🌍 Where have all the housebuilders gone? 🏡 Reflecting on my time at #UKREiiF this week with the @AitchisonRaffety team, several key takeaways have stood out: 💡 Hot Topics – Recurring themes included Planning, Politics, Net Zero, Construction Costs, and emerging trends like B Corp certification and AI's role in real estate. 🔍 Planning – The state of the UK planning industry, fraught with uncertainty, high costs, and lengthy timelines, is a significant factor behind the drastic drop in housebuilders from over 12,000 pre-2000 to approximately 2,400 in 2024. 🤝 Networking – #UKREiiF is fast becoming an essential event in the calendar. It’s incredible how many meaningful connections you can make in just 3 days! 🏙️ Leeds – What a fantastic city!
