Urban Land Institute’s Post

A great day at the Northern Housing Consortium's annual summit.  Plenty of substance and pragmatism among the excellent speakers – from policymakers and practitioners, to regulators and residents. Some memorable soundbites too: 🚀 Devolution can be “rocketfuel” for affordable housing in the north 🌹 Things might look rosy from the top… but subcultures within your organisation and stigma towards tenants mean bad practice can go unchecked 🐶 Be careful of pet projects and throwing good money after bad – too often innovation is treated as an end in itself 🏙️ In the north, "it’s not just new towns, we need renewed towns too” ⬆️ “The north has a different kind of housing problem – social rent is even more important here” 💰 “We can deliver but there is a big price tag… we shouldn’t be appeasing” ❌ After years of pressure, the sector’s “room for manoeuvre is narrow, and the room for error is narrower still” 📈 We’ve only ever achieved national housing targets when the public and social sectors built at scale 🏗️ “More room to build doesn’t necessarily mean more homes will be built” – and planning reform alone isn’t going to fix things Thanks to everyone who played a part in organising and contributing.  A day well spent and lots for the sector to ruminate on as we head into 2025.  Tracy Harrison Kate Maughan Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire Mark Easton Catherine Little MBA CIHCM Mark Armstrong James Clark Tom Lamb CIHCM MCIOB Ali Johnson Natasha Kendall

Place North has been supporting the property market for 18 years now. We are a small privately owned company that does big things, but it is only now, with our wider reach and position, that we are able to put into action some of our more strategic aspirations. After consulting with some of the region’s senior advisors, it was clear there is a need to do more to support registered providers and local authorities. We are not a one off show or a new arrival to the market and as such we know that we occupy a position that has become ever more useful to the Northern property market. Local #authorities and registered providers are often the conduits to significant #regeneration and housing masterplans. We are very proud to be able to take this decision to make the Place North #conferences so much more accessible to these sectors. Place North is Place North West, Place Yorkshire and Place North East

In addition, Linda will offer some thoughts and ideas on possible asks and offers for any given deal. What might these be ?

She will also highlight the importance of involving other parties, including iwi, tertiary institutions and private investors and developers.

As part of a robust fair lending program, it’s crucial to have a structured process for monitoring and addressing complaints. This proactive approach not only ensures compliance with regulations but also fosters trust and transparency with customers. If your organization hasn’t integrated complaint monitoring into its fair lending program yet, now is the time to consider doing so. Not only does this demonstrate your commitment to fair practices, but it also helps identify and rectify any potential issues before they escalate. #FairLending
