Hiring #realestate in-house legal services has increased by 43% in the last year. This surge can be attributed to a variety of factors currently affecting the industry, including: - higher interest rates and inflation - material shortages - labour shortages - changing building regulations A combination of these circumstances has increased the complexity and risk involved in deals and projects, thereby necessitating specialised legal guidance.

No news on Lendlease UK futures and I feel for its teams who have uncertainty over their heads be they under consultation or not when turning up to work everyday. If they do indeed leave the UK, they will be missed, but the impact felt most will be the diminished richness of the skills of #futureLeaders. Lendlease was an excellent #training ground and most uniquely they shouldered responsibility for training #graduates and #apprentices in #development, a very rare role in our industry. Their willingness to sponsor and support the training of our youngest into #RealEstate development was a fantastic trait of LendLease UK and one of it's reasons for a high retention of staff over the years. For this reason, any departure will be very much missed. Who is willing AND able to train new entrants to the industry with such a broad base of skills in investment, planning, design, development, project, commercial, and construction to name just a few. Many of my customers today graduated from the Lendlease UK "university", many of my placements learnt and honed their craft on schemes like Athlete's Village, IQL, Elephant & Castle and Euston.

New stats from the Home Builders Federation show the fewest new housing sites receiving planning permission in a 12-month period since 2006, with total planning applications down 13% year-over-year. High interest rates may be a factor. The Federation suggests accelerating National Development Policies and ring-fencing planning fee increases for Planning Authorities. Both political parties are focusing on planning, with Keir Starmer proposing: ● Strengthened obligations for affordable homes ● Reinstating targets ● Modifying the Affordable Homes Programme ● Ensuring local community input ● Strategic use of greenbelt land ● Reforming to improve affordable housing mix The next six months will be very interesting in the town planning market, to say the least, and I believe resourcing should be higher on the agenda—though I might be biased.
