Welcome to a new look Prop Views

Prop Views - a new look - sunrise

Prop Views is changing.  Due to the popularity of the blog site, I have decided to give it an upgrade and ask friends of the blog to become more regular contributors.

Prop Views has been live since 2018 and what started out as a space to share some of my insights has become a place for debate, market digest and making sense of the interaction between property development and policy.  Prop Views will continue to offer open and honest takes and remain practitioner led.

New features will include an upgraded news letter, more regular contributions and wait for it… a new podcast series.  The pod version will be a news digest.  Myself and chums will give a market take on big policy news and deals taking place.  It will be as honest as the blog site and offer you, the audience, insights and hopefully a different perspective on the world, even if you don’t always agree with it!

And, there’s a lot of content coming over the next month.  We will continue to deep dive the Draft London Plan as we try and offer a practitioner voice in the face of the London brownfield emergency.  I am thrilled that senior chums from the public sector will be coming on to write about how to get Councils building homes again.  Meanwhile, I will finish off my Parkhurst series which recently featured on Fifty Shades of Planning and look at what has been happening at Wandsworth in a part 2 of the popular Last of the Threshold Chasers.

Finally, a thank you to everyone who supports the blog and all those who reach out to me.   The insights and market intelligence are much appreciated and that is what makes the site what it is and will remain: a free resource to understand the debate on housing and the trade offs required to get the country building again.
