The Week Ahead in Podcasts & Articles: w/c 2nd June 2025 A new month begins with a familiar rhythm – four podcasts, four days, and the kind of ground-level discussion that keeps the property world turning. From stalled transactions to remediations that raise eyebrows, we’ll be bringing together regulars and fresh perspectives. All hosted by Gareth Wax, producer, director and chair, in conversation with myself, conveyancing collaborator Hamish McLay. Property Matters – Tuesday 3rd June at 1pm Still Below Standard: The Legacy of Grenfell Ignored Developers continue to resist the very safety measures brought in to prevent the disasters of the past. Despite the lessons of Grenfell, substandard construction persists – raising concerns about how far responsibility and regulation really stretch in 2025. IPSA Kind Of Magic – Wednesday 4th June at 1pm If Only We’d Known Sooner: The Silent Risks Lurking in Property Transactions This week, we look at the information that’s often missing in action until it’s too late. Our discussion explores what independent search providers *can* uncover – and what ought to be shared earlier for the benefit of buyers, sellers and solicitors alike. Property Quorum – Thursday 5th June at 10am Mind The Gaps: What You Can’t See Can Cost You Fire risk assessments, grey zone documentation and invisible liabilities: these are the things that catch clients off guard. We’ll be looking at the worst missing ingredients in modern transactions and why full transparency is still so hard to achieve. Cladding Matters – Friday 6th June at 1pm Kings Tower vs RAQ: Same Builder, Same Problems? Stephen Day returns to the panel as we compare two Barratt-built developments: Royal Artillery Quays (RAQ) and Kings Tower in Chelmsford. Both face remediation, yet the response from councils, developers and regulators tells two very different stories.
