Today's labs are unrecognisable from the huge out-of-town research parks we are used to seeing. They are evolving and adapting to life in the city, moving into spaces usually associated with offices. The pull of the city has been substantial and new lab spaces need to offer unrivalled flexibility, providing spaces that match the needs of start-up companies characterised by fast-tracked growth and a need to hit the ground running. This is great news for both the science and property sectors, benefiting both in fulfilling their ever growing industries. https://lnkd.in/eamzyS6N #realestate #property #sciencesector #sciencelabs

Investor allocations to the 'beds' sector are the biggest driver of investment volumes so far in 2024, with the living and hotels sector achieving the largest 12-month market share ever recorded. Annual hotel investment volumes alone stood at £3.6bn, the strongest half-year ever recorded. A decade ago, this would typically account for 10% of an annual overall investment, but today it is double that, against a backdrop of uncertainty of stagnation, as well as rising interest rates and build costs. https://lnkd.in/ecFYWNqE #realestate #living #hotels #property #investment

Whilst the nation continues to navigate the “new-normal” off the back of the pandemic, we have found more and more companies amending their hybrid working policy to increase the number of days their employees should be in the office. This has stirred conversation amongst our candidates, as the belief behind the work-life balance with working from home, we have noticed, continues to be a high priority when looking for a new role. We would be keen to know your thoughts on this topic plus how many days are you required to go into the office?

Demand for data centres in the UK continues to soar as more and more information is stored digitally. But significant challenges remain for those developing them; the power-hungry nature of properties of this type, and their impact on the National Grid, has left schemes facing long delays. London is one of the largest markets in the world, number one in Europe, but the city has become incredibly constrained in terms of power. That's created a problem for cloud service providers. As a result, Location for data centres has become less of a factor - it's all about the gold rush for power supply plus Political support and support from the local population So, while the fundamentals remain strong for data centre developers and investors, for occupiers, finding the right site at an affordable price will remain a challenge.

Many of our candidates are asked to complete a technical test as part of an interview process, either before the company will meet them or at the final stages before an offer is made. Whilst a test can be an important part of the process for employers, candidates are finding it increasingly frustrating due to the time commitment required to complete, particulalry if they are in demand and have multiple opportunities they are pursuing. We would be keen to know if you believe a technical test is a non-negotiable part of the interview process? Are there any alternative approches to testing a canditate's technical skills?

Within the last 2 years, we have seen a significant growth change to single-family housing (SFH). To date, around 90,000 multi-family apartments for rent have been developed, contrasting to fewer than 12,000 single-family rented homes. However, we have recently seen the sector rapidly gain momentum with investors, lenders and developers with investors spending a record £1.9bn buying or funding more than 6,200 SFH homes last year, up fivefold from £388m in 2022, tripling the total size of the market since 2018. SFH is one of the most severely underserved residential subsectors and as such, there is a "huge" opportunity for institutional investors in this space. https://lnkd.in/gtrcDYag Souce: Property Week #realestate #property #singlefamilyhousing #multifamilyhousing #sfh #investors #developers #propertydevelopers #residential

When you think back to 2021, only two property sectors were flourishing as the UK continued to battle the pandemic. With the majority of people stuck at home and therefore increasingly dependent on online entertainment, the demand for data centres increased and now, with the rise of Artificial Intelligence, the need is still intrinsic. Moreover, once viable vaccines were developed to help tackle covid during 2021, life sciences also noticed a significant boost as investors attention was turned amidst a global health emergency. But now the pandemic is behind us, what has happened to demand for space from life science companies? https://lnkd.in/gm3BTQBZ #realestate #property #propertysectors #covid19 #datacentres #lifescience
