Previous Events
Key points raised from the Summer Series included;
- London and overseas investors are not only moving further north their traditional buying characteristics are changing. They are now spreading their portfolio i.e. rather than taking 20 off plan apartments they are now looking at a spread of properties types such as 10 flats, 10 semi, 10 detached.
- Technology does not replace the need for strong relationships. This is a big education piece that is going to need considerable time and investment over the coming months. The good news is everyone wants the same goal.
- Customer expectations are continuing to rise. Help to buy has not been utilised for its intended purpose, therefore creating a falsely inflated housing bubble, which in turn is creating higher stock prices over and above national average.
Key points raised from the spring series included;
- There was a general desire for everyone in the industry to join up the dots in the process when working with each other. Discussed how the industry (particularly mortgage industry) seems resistant to change and introducing technology that increases efficiency – what can be done to improve this?
- During the Bank of Mum and Dad topic, there was lots of discussion around conveyancers charging extra during the transaction when gifted deposits are involved, particularly as the regulations around gifted deposits slows the housing process down and should they be doing this – Would this be a topic you would like to discuss?
- Student populations in cities are changing the landscape of an area, with lots more bars/restaurants being opened which changes the dynamic of an area which has an impact on communities for first time buyers and 2nd movers alike?
