As July draws to a close, we’ve got another full week of podcasts covering the people, policies and priorities shaping the property world. Whether it’s sustainability, search validity or the decisions that still leave residents vulnerable, we’ll be bringing you honest, unscripted conversations all week long. Hosted, chaired and produced as ever by Gareth Wax, in conversation with myself, Hamish McLay, conveyancing collaborator.

Property Matters – Tuesday 29th July at 1pm

“Sustainable for Who? When Eco-Friendly Means Budget-Hostile”
What happens when doing the right thing for the planet makes it harder to find a place to live? This week’s episode looks at the unintended cost of going green – especially for first-time buyers now squeezed by rising build standards and shrinking affordability. Hosted by Gareth Wax, with Hamish McLay and guest Wendy Gibson.

IPSA Kind Of Magic – Wednesday 30th July at 1pm

“Sustainability of Searches: How Long Do They Remain Valid?”
With timelines shifting and transactions dragging, we ask: when do searches go stale? What’s valid, what’s risky, and what should search professionals be watching for in today’s market? Join Gareth Wax and Hamish McLay, and Jackie Dyson for this week’s IPSA Kind Of Magic, live at 1pm.

Property Quorum – Thursday 31st July at 10am

“Built to Last? New Homes, Old Questions”
Why are we still hearing the same concerns about quality, even in newly built homes? From structural defects to missing basics, this week’s discussion looks at the gap between what’s promised and what’s delivered – and what that means for homeowners, developers and the market overall. We will be joined by our regular contributors, Juliet Baboolal and Chris Gilsenan, and also joining this week we have Michelle Carr.

Cladding Matters – Friday 1st August at 1pm

“When Net Zero Ignores Safety”
We look at whether green targets are clashing with the urgent need for safer buildings. Are we building sustainably while cutting corners on basics? From fire testing gaps to overlooked design flaws, it’s a critical conversation. Gareth and Hamish will be joined, as usual, by Stephen Day.
