Property Industry Update – Online *Special Edition*
Join us for the next Women in Residential Property Market Update
The residential property sector never stands still. New legislation, changing market conditions, economic pressures and emerging opportunities all have an impact on the businesses we work in every day.
For this special edition of our quarterly Market Update, we’re widening the lens to explore what is happening across different residential asset classes. Experts from across the industry will share the latest developments affecting Student Accommodation, Build to Rent, Social Housing and Later Living.
Whether you work directly in one of these sectors or support them through professional services, you’ll gain valuable insight into the challenges, opportunities and innovations influencing each asset class, and what they could mean for your business and your clients.
As with all WIRP events, the session is designed to encourage conversation across the residential property sector. By sharing perspectives from different parts of the market, we can learn from one another, identify opportunities to collaborate and build stronger professional networks.
With thanks to our guest speakers.
