In this EG Property Podcast, EG editor Samantha McClary sits down with Grosvenor’s HR director Jo Banfield to talk about the changing nature of the employee/employer relationship. With fresh pressure on employers set to come with changes to National Insurance and the Employment Rights Bills, proper communication, trust and understanding between worker and employer has never been more important.

Car parking and the availability of outside space is more important than environmental or sustainability considerations when it comes to attracting occupiers to the majority of industrial and office space, according to Sibley Pares associate Ned Gleave.
Sibley Pares tops the Radius On Demand Rankings for Kent in terms of deal numbers so far this year, with 94 completions totalling 344,000 sq ft of space.
Gleave, who operates largely across Kent’s industrial market, says environmental considerations such as solar panels and EV charging are still considered sweeteners rather than necessities and that parking is often a more important factor than the building itself. He is also hopeful a middle ground can be found regarding regulation on future EPC minimum standards.

The industrial sector has made huge strides forwards in decarbonisation as landlords, tenants and even the customers of tenants all demand increasingly green credentials, according to Lambert Smith Hampton director of industrial and logistics Elise Evans.
Evans was the South East’s top industrial dealmaker in the Radius On Demand Rankings in September, with five deals totalling 68,201 sq ft of space. Among them was a 40,000 sq ft letting at Langstone Park in Havant in a building rated EPC A+ and powered entirely through rooftop solar PVs.
She says demand for the full spectrum of industrial classes remains strong on her south coast patch, where the docks of Southampton support a thriving logistics sector and advanced manufacturing and engineering flourishes further east.

Fetherstonhaugh outlines the other major provisions in the bill, and highlights some areas for improvement he hopes will be addressed as the bill proceeds through parliament.

Buckinghamshire is the entrepreneurial capital of England and the demand for space from small and medium sized businesses has helped sustain demand over what, for many, is a quiet summer period, according to Chandler Garvey director and head of agency Joanna Kearvell.
Kearvell managed seven completions in August, making her the South East’s leading dealmaker in terms of deal numbers.
She says demand is particularly strong for smaller-scale industrial units and believes the handbrakes need to come off to deliver more buildings of this type, not just for leasehold disposal but also for owner-occupiers.

Britons fell in love with domestic holidays during the pandemic and the lingering appeal has primed the holiday park sector for a fresh round of inward investment, according to Christie & Co director of UK holiday and residential parks Jamie Keith.
Keith says visitor numbers are still up on 2019 levels following the frenzy of the pandemic years, when both bookings and transactional activity went through the roof.
He believes corporate interest in the holiday park market has been muted over the past 12 months because of high interest rates, but expects to see purse strings loosened over the coming months from both UK and overseas investors.

Planning needs to be unlocked for commercial space across Cornwall in order to provide much-needed employment opportunities and ease overreliance on tourism, according to Vickery Holman agent Morwenna Pound.
Vickery Holman is the leading regional agent across the South West region on the Radius Rankings for space transacted so far this year and Pound – who works from its Truro office - leads the individual dealmaker rankings for Cornwall, with 67,970 sq ft transacted across 28 deals.
Pound says demand is very strong for industrial units of around 1,000 sq ft, but planning headaches and development costs mean these are in short supply. She also believes there is an urgent need for entry-level professional jobs across the county to help change the fortunes of what have become some of Europe’s poorest areas.

Momentum is a critical factor for the London office market, and although external obstacles have been placed in its way there is a sense the handbrake is about to come off, according to Harry James, associate director at office specialist The Workplace Co.
James was London’s top office dealmaker in June, leading the Radius Rankings with 8 deals totalling 7,969 sq ft of space. He oversaw transactions in the West End, City, City Fringe and the Southern Fringe.
Activity has been up and down since the start of the year, says James, but he is optimistic about occupiers being in a less cautious mood once they return from summer holidays.

Trading conditions across Greater Manchester are challenging, with uncertainty over the economy and the future of work leading occupiers to operate with caution, according to Fletcher CRE director John Fletcher.
In terms of deal numbers, Fletcher CRE is the highest-placed regional agent on the Radius On Demand Rankings across Greater Manchester for the year to date, with 15 deals over the line totalling 37,704 sq ft of space.
Fletcher believes the towns of Greater Manchester benefit greatly from the success of Manchester city centre, but he believes investment is needed both in infrastructure and the right redevelopment if they are to realise their potential. He is also hopeful that Thursday’s general election will remove one element of instability and encourage occupiers to commit to decisions.

EG's legal & professional editor, Jess Harrold, is joined by Vicky Hernandez, partner and head of retail at law firm RWK Goodman, and Allan Wickham, head of occupier sustainability in the ESG consultancy team at CBRE, to discuss the rise of green leases, with a particular focus on the retail sector.
Together, they recap what green leases are, with examples of typical green clauses that might arise in retail leases and a focus on the different shades of green that can apply, plus some of the particular challenges faced in retail.
They address the recently updated green lease toolkit, from the Better Buildings Partnership, and how that will aid landlord and tenant negotiations on key lease provisions - hugely important, with the growing need for alignment between property owners and occupiers when it comes to improving the sustainability of our buildings.

In this episode of the EG Property Podcast, EG editor Samantha McClary takes a break from the normal property chatter and instead turns her attention to real estate’s love of Lycra, friendly competition and, of course, raising vital fund for charity.
Listen in as she catches up with three participants of this year’s JLL Property Triathlon – Simon Peacock, Kate Peters and Will Sherlock - to find out how their training has gone, why they choose to don a onesie in front of their colleagues and bosses, and more seriously, what one of the biggest gatherings of real estate professionals achieves for charity.
The triathlon – which takes place on 28 June at Dorney Lake – is in its 17th year and has so far raised more than £2m for charity. For the past three years the event has been raising funds for WWF and by the culmination of this year’s races, expects to have raised more than £600,000 for the charity.
Find out more about where and how those funds are being spend and what you can do to help encourage our guests as they swim, bike, run their way round Dorney this Friday.

The handbrake is coming off in the West Midlands, where a recent upturn in deals activity shows the age of uncertainly is approaching its end, according to Shepherd Commercial director Kaine Arkinson.
Arkinson was the UK’s top individual dealmaker for May in EG’s On-Demand Rankings. As the month closed he had managed 14 completions, totalling 35,952 sq ft.
He says the industrial market is still the dominant force in the West Midlands, with a slew of cash-rich buyers waiting in the wings. However, he also believes there is a distinct shortage of stock at the smaller end of the market, and hopes the planning system can be unlocked to fix it.

In this episode of the EG Property Podcast – recorded live on stage at UKREiiF in Leeds – news editor Pui-Guan Man sits down with a host of experts to discuss how to support social mobility within the real estate sector.
While those working in real estate can often come from privileged backgrounds, the sector operates within diverse communities where individuals converge to live, work and socialise. This means that prioritising social mobility is crucial for fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace, as well as for ensuring that the real estate industry mirrors the diversity of its surroundings.
In this conversation we look at how we can further advocate for the economic benefits of diversity? What strategies can organisations and individuals employ to drive positive transformations, fostering a more vibrant, adaptable and fair urban landscape? How can tangible opportunities for local communities be provided in the process?
