They break down the long-running debate between cash flow in the North vs capital growth in London, why London’s real-terms growth has been surprisingly flat for years, and why the next property cycle could put London back in the spotlight. They also explore how hybrid working is reshaping tenant demand, why slightly larger commuter-friendly properties are becoming more attractive, and the major opportunity emerging from record office vacancies — including the Class MA commercial-to-residential conversion strategy. If you're deciding where to invest next, this episode will help you think strategically about both short-term returns and long-term positioning.
