Quiye honestly, do you believe that spending 10,000,000,000 pounds to support our high streets would be better spent on reinventing them into habitable accommodation where they cannot be revitalized. There are nearly 7000 High St. in the UK. where the high streets cannot be revitalized because someone has built a shopping centre not naming who, do you not believe the money would be better spent making the shops into habitable homes, employing, carpenters, electric, plumbers, builders, etc. in other words, boosting our economy and getting people somewhere to live if there has been a shopping centre built or a retail park I guarantee the high Street will never rise from the ashes like a phoenix. do you have an opinion? #HighStreets #(BID) #Rejuvenation #Future #Management #LocalCouncils #Media

Adelaide’s industrial sector continues to be the leading non-residential property class for landlords despite tenant demand cooling after Covid-19. Although growth in industrial rents has plateaued, tenant incentives are still under 10%, which is representative of the healthy demand from transport and warehouse operators. The city’s Outer North market remains most buoyant, supporting demand from construction and ancillary businesses catering to growth in housing and infrastructure. LJ Hooker Group’s Head of Commercial Tom Donnelly said sentiment in the commercial market was healthy, but the city was not immune to the national economic downturn.

This article from Charlotte-Frances Garrett, Head of Strategy for KOPE makes so many valid points - not least about recent headlines in the construction sector and how the modular industry is receiving more than its fair share of negative commentary. What I don't understand is why the modular sector is so silent and not shouting about its successes from the rooftops? Where is the solid evidence of successful delivery? Having worked in the sector for more than two decades, I know there is a huge number of great projects to draw on and many happy construction clients. But where is the meaningful insight from modular customers about results and how the approach has solved their construction challenges? Where are the lessons learned from these projects, so the industry can collectively better meet the customer needs? Why is the sector so low level and unimaginative in its communications? And then there are the images. There is so much rubbish STILL being posted on LinkedIn of grey boxes leaving factories or being installed on site. Record shots not powerful marketing images. There is a big difference. Do these snapshots and those in the modular factories reflect innovation, quality, and efficiency? If not, don't put them in the public domain or they will only reinforce the negative perceptions. The modular sector and all the marketing teams have to step up and address the reputational damage being caused by this vacuum before it becomes terminal and even more investors run for the hills.

🚨**Industry Insight Alert**🚨 At the recent Labour conference in Liverpool, Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook shed light on an alarming dependency: the UK's housebuilding scene leans heavily on a handful of large volume builders. 📊 According to the minister, in 2021-22, just 11 key players were responsible for approximately 40% of newly built homes. 🤯 Key Takeaways: - **Over-Concentration:** Dominance by a few major firms could stifle innovation and diversity within the sector. - **Speculative Model Concerns:** These large builders often purchase land without a certainty on the final sale price, introducing risks. - **SMEs to the Fore:** Pennycook is advocating for increased involvement from Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), promising government support. - **Strategic Development:** A call for a shift towards master development roles on large sites, ensuring land is assembled and developed with quality, sustainability, and infrastructure as the focus. This push for inclusive growth and diversification could reshape the landscape of UK housebuilding. 🏡 Could increased SME involvement lead to a more resilient and innovative market, or do the risks overshadow the benefits?

🏘 Commercial HOA’s: Are They Needed ❓& Why They’re Used🚨 Homeowners Associations (HOAs) are commonly associated with residential neighborhoods, but did you know that there are also commercial HOAs? Commercial HOAs serve a vital role in managing and maintaining various types of commercial properties, providing benefits for both property owners and tenants. So, what are commercial HOAs? Are they needed? Where are they commonly used? ⚡ WHAT ARE COMMERCIAL HOA's? Commercial HOAs, or Commercial Property Owners Associations (CPOAs), are organizations established to manage and govern commercial properties. These properties can range from office buildings and retail centers to industrial parks and mixed-use developments. Similar to residential HOAs, commercial HOAs are typically governed by a set of bylaws, rules, and regulations that all property owners within the association must adhere to. 1.) ⚙ Property Maintenance: Commercial properties require ongoing maintenance to ensure they remain safe, functional, and visually appealing. A commercial HOA takes responsibility for tasks such as landscaping, parking lot maintenance, exterior repairs, and common area upkeep. By pooling resources through HOA fees, property owners can ensure that these maintenance tasks are consistently addressed. 2.) ⚔ Asset Protection: A well-maintained commercial property retains its value better over time. By enforcing standards and regulations, a commercial HOA helps protect the investment of property owners within the association. This can be particularly important in attracting and retaining tenants who expect a certain level of quality and professionalism in their commercial space. 3.) 🔦 Dispute Resolution: Commercial properties often involve multiple tenants and property owners, leading to potential disputes over issues such as parking, noise, or signage. A commercial HOA provides a framework for resolving these disputes in a fair and efficient manner, helping to maintain positive relationships among stakeholders. 4.) 🏡 Community Development: In mixed-use developments or commercial districts, a commercial HOA can play a role in fostering a sense of community and cooperation among property owners. This can include organizing events, promoting local businesses, and advocating for shared interests such as infrastructure improvements or zoning changes. 💡 CONTINUE READING HERE ➡ https://lnkd.in/gBAjEX4S #HOA #CommercialRealEstate #CRE

Ali Bennett thank you for such an impactful article that perfectly summarises the main issues affecting the uptake of MMC and provide some great solutions. 👏 #MMC is the only way that we can deliver the homes required, to the quality and speed required. Many #HousingAssociations and #LocalAuthorities state in their Development Strategies that they want to use MMC or build to #FutureHomesStandard, many are dissuaded because of the presumed cost or perceived risk of longevity. Underwriting contracts will help. #MMCTaskForce will be essential to address the lack of take up of innovation to introduce #MMC targets and increased performance standards for the fabric of homes (through Building Regulations). We also need them to help with proof of concept projects so new technologies can gain the illusive first build and produce case studies and support for any organisation wishing to utilise #MMC. Trina Chakravarti at Building Better and Lee Clary and Jeff Endean at OSHA Off-Site Homes Alliance have already done lots of great work on this. #ukhomes #affordablehousing #socialhomes #buildsocial

Another exciting opportunity in Dagenham(Barking & Dagenham council) Yesterday evening, I received a call from a landlord eager to rent out his 3-bedroom terraced house immediately. By 7:30 PM on a Saturday, he had reached out, and by Sunday 2pm, I was at the property for a viewing and discussion about next steps. At viewings, I always strive to be honest, straightforward, and detailed about what I can offer. By the end of our meeting, the landlord expressed his gratitude for my quick responses and willingness to meet at short notice. He shared that, because of this, he has decided to pause viewings with other parties and work directly with me. I explained that I work with trusted social housing providers and outlined the key compliance expectations for such partnerships, including fire doors, window restrictors, interlinked alarms, and white goods. I also explained that these providers typically don’t pay deposits due to the volume of properties they manage. The landlord, who is experienced in property, has already begun some compliance work and is happy to complete anything outstanding. He’s looking to rent the property out by the end of this week or early next, and he’s trusting me to find a suitable tenant or company. I’m confident I can deliver! If all goes to plan, this will mark the fifth property I’ve sourced this month for the social housing companies I’m partnered with. Property Details: • 3-bedroom terraced house (2 doubles, 1 box room) • Asking rent: £2,250/month • No deposit required • Unfurnished (landlord is open to negotiating furniture if necessary) • Compliance work can be completed within 7 days, with the landlord covering costs or welcoming the provider’s builders to handle it. • Available immediately I’m always on the lookout to build long-term partnerships with reliable social housing providers. If you’re interested in securing this property, let’s connect—it won’t stay available for long! 2025 is going to be a year of continued growth, and I’m excited to partner with even more housing providers to make a difference. Stay tuned for updates on this property! #socialhousing #propertymanagement #supportedliving #property #landlords
