A new month, yet many familiar issues remain – from buyer hesitancy to the reliability of remediation claims. This week’s conversations reflect a sector still seeking certainty, still navigating change, and still learning from the realities on the ground. Hosted, chaired and produced by Gareth Wax, in conversation with myself, Hamish McLay, conveyancing collaborator.

Property Matters – Tuesday 5th August at 1pm
“When Criticism Goes Public: Keeping It Professional”
We’re taking a closer look at the tone of professional life online. Inspired by Louise Harvey’s widely shared post and a recent Today’s Conveyancer article, we’ll be talking about what happens when business social media becomes less about support and more about public criticism. Hosted by Gareth Wax, with Hamish McLay, join us for a conversation about professional respect, online behaviour, and why a little kindness still goes a long way.


IPSA Kind Of Magic – Wednesday 6th August at 1pm
“Fast Isn’t Always Best: Why Turnaround Time Needs Context”
On Wednesday 6th August at 1pm, we’re asking whether faster really means better. In Fast Isn’t Always Best, Gareth Wax and Hamish McLay explore what happens when unfiltered data gets passed on too quickly – and how IPSA members add value by refining searches before they land on a solicitor’s desk.

Property Quorum – Thursday 7th August at 10am
“The Case of the Missing Buyers: Where Have They All Gone?”
This week on Property Quorum, we’re exploring why so many buyers are holding back. Is it rising rents, mortgage rates, or simply market uncertainty? Juliet Baboolal and Chris Gilsenan return to unpack the trends with Gareth Wax and Hamish McLay. Join us live on Thursday morning.


Cladding Matters – Friday 8th August at 1pm
“Remediate or Regenerate: Can We Do Both?”
This Friday at 1pm, we’re asking whether government priorities are shifting too far towards new housebuilding while thousands still wait for full remediation. With only partial fixes in buildings like Kings Tower and ongoing pressure to hit delivery targets, is safety being sidelined? Gareth Wax hosts, joined by Hamish McLay and Stephen Day.
