Podcasts about Savills

Let's be honest, going into 2026 there's been a lot of noise in property and not much clarity.In today's episode, I'm joined by Lucian Cook, Head of Residential Research at Savills and one of the most respected data voices in the UK housing market, for a clear-eyed conversation about where things actually stand as we move through 2026.Lucian has spent his entire career in property, starting as a chartered surveyor before moving into research just ahead of the global financial crisis. Since then, he's analysed every major shift the market has thrown at us, from the credit crunch to the pandemic boom, and now the biggest rental reform in a generation.We talk about what's structurally changed in the housing market, why regulation and tax policy have reshaped the role of the landlord, and how investors should really think about cycles, sentiment, and supply without getting pulled around by headlines.This isn't about predictions for the sake of it. It's about understanding the forces at play, what the data is actually saying, and what that means if you're making decisions with your own capital.

Join host Guy Ruddle and guests Charlie Collins and Diana Thomson from Savills Planning, and Philip Barnes, advisor to the Planning and Development divisions at Savills, as they discuss the draft National Planning Policy Framework (published in December 2025) and how it aims to address housing delivery across England, but also the capital too. This podcast discusses the significance of some of the changes, including viability, settlement boundaries and the grey belt; as well as how this all relates to the new London Plan.

In this episode, we step away from the extremes and take a cold, hard look at what is actually happening in the self-storage sector as we move through 2026. Following a fantastic start to the year and our recent Commercial Property fundamentals course, I’ve been reflecting on why some investors "get motoring" while others stay stuck in inertia. Often, that inertia comes from conflicting stories about the market. That's why this week we’re diving deep into the data—moving past personal opinion to analyze the UK Self Storage Association (UKSSA) 2024 Annual Report, FEDESSA’s European findings, and the latest 2025 outlooks from heavyweights like CBRE, Savills, and Janus International.

Mark Thomson, Planning Director at Savills, and Rosie Ashton, Design Manager at Verv-life, join Concilio's Siddo and Rochelle to discuss how co-living tackles the housing crisis and urban loneliness. In the latest episode of Concilio's Better Places podcast, Account Director Siddo Dwyer and Account Executive Rochelle Blakeman, sit down with Mark Thomson, Planning Director at Savills, and Rosie Ashton, Design Manager at Verv-life, to discuss the rise of co-living, what it is, who it's for, and whether it can help tackle two of London's biggest challenges: the housing crisis and urban loneliness. Key points discussed: ·      Co-living offers a professionally managed, community-focused alternative to HMOs, with private studios, all-inclusive bills, and flexible tenures.  ·      Thoughtful design and curated events help tackle urban loneliness, creating welcoming social spaces that genuinely encourage connection.  ·      New regulations have driven better-zoned, higher-quality studio layouts, while clustered amenities and strong local partnerships enhance resident experience.  ·      Co-living provides cost certainty and potential for discounted-market options for key workers, challenging misconceptions about quality and affordability.  ·      With clearer, more flexible policy, co-living could play a bigger role in London's housing mix and help ease pressure on traditional rental supply. For anyone interested in housing innovation, rental market reform, community-led placemaking, or how London can diversify supply in the face of mounting pressures, this episode offers insight into the new opportunities shaping the next generation of urban living.  Don't miss this conversation – listen now!

Can you do a financial podcast and not mention the Budget right now? No, not really. But you can give it a good shot at keeping Budget chat to the minimum.  On this week's podcast, Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert take breather from talking about Rachel Reeves and the endless cycle of madness that is the Budget 2025 build up to discuss some other stuff.

Then via a quick diversion avoiding sneaky speed cameras, it is on to the turf war. Is it ever okay to consider artificial grass and what will it do to your house price?

From price-testing vendors and privacy-driven sellers to the rise of buyer's agents and agent-only platforms, this hidden layer of the market is rewriting the rules of access and advantage.Together, we unpack what truly counts as an off-market listing, why so many sellers are choosing to go quiet, and what this shift means for transparency in Australian property. It's a conversation that cuts through the hype to reveal the data, dynamics, and ethics shaping the industry's most exclusive corner.If you've ever wondered what happens before a listing goes live, or why some of the best opportunities never make it online, this episode gives you a rare glimpse into the quiet art of deal-making in today's property market.Episode Highlights00:00 – Introduction01:16 – Guest Introduction: William Lang of Quiet List01:48 – Understanding Off-Market Listings03:40 – Challenges in Off-Market Transactions08:27 – Quiet List: The Business Model08:40 – Appreciating the Role of Buyer's Agents18:03 – Privacy and Transparency Issues of Off-Market Deals26:18 – Real Estate Platforms28:05 – Challenges and Changes in Agent Processes28:45 – Advantages of Centralized Briefs31:03 – Off-Market Deals and Relationships32:23 – Platform Features and Future Directions41:53 – Real Estate Market Dynamics and AI42:33 – Property DumboAbout the GuestWilliam Laing is the Co-Founder and CEO of Quiet List, Australia's first agent-only property platform transforming how real estate professionals connect qualified demand with quiet supply.With more than a decade in luxury residential real estate — including roles with Kay & Burton, Knight Frank, Savills, and The Agency — William built his career around discretion, trust, and deal-making.

“You have to crystallize the objective—what the goal is, and how we can get there.” “I treat differences as differences—not as superior or inferior.” “If people are good at what they do, all I need to do is be a facilitator.” “Eighty percent of stress comes from dealing with people—it's not the work itself.”   Previously Eiichiro was CEO of Nippon Building fund Management, General Manager Mitsui Fudosan, Managing Director Mitsui Fudosan UK, Senior Vice President Mitsui Fudosan America. He has an MBA from Georgetown University and BA Law from Keio University Eiichiro's leadership philosophy is defined by adaptability, humility, and a deep understanding of cultural nuance. Throughout his career, spanning continents and economic cycles, he has consistently demonstrated the importance of aligning leadership style to context—geographic, organizational, and economic. He stresses the value of “localizing” behaviour, aiming to reflect the values and communication styles of the region he's operating in, whether in the U.S., UK, or Japan. This sensitivity to environment extends to his leadership approach: servant leadership in stable times, more directive and hands-on leadership in crisis situations. Central to Eiichiro's leadership is clarity. He believes in crystallizing objectives from the outset, ensuring teams understand not just what needs to be done but also why. He places high value on communication as a leadership tool—listening deeply, questioning frequently, and offering feedback rooted in curiosity rather than criticism. He encourages people to articulate their reasoning, to analyze success and failure alike, and to explore their own strengths and weaknesses with honesty. Trust, in Eiichiro's view, is both foundational and cultural. Especially in Japan, where long-term relationships and stable organizations are prized, he sees trust as a primary business currency. He builds this by being consistent, approachable, and transparent. Though comfortable revealing his own limitations, he also holds firm expectations—ensuring people understand that business results matter and roles must align with capabilities. One of Eiichiro's core insights is the acceptance of difference—not as something to be overcome, but simply as something to be understood. He doesn't view cultural, generational, or stylistic differences through a lens of better or worse, but as variations to be worked with. This mindset shapes his approach to international leadership and organizational change, particularly in reconciling the rapid expectations of global HQs with the slower, risk-averse pace typical of Japanese business. His leadership also emphasizes respect for individuality. Rather than try to make everyone well-rounded, he focuses on identifying and maximizing individual strengths, recognizing that not everyone will excel at everything. He cautions against overinvesting time in underperformance, instead favoring alignment between talent and role. This strategic use of human capital underpins his belief in empowerment—leaders should be facilitators when possible, creating space for others to thrive. Despite a deep track record, Eiichiro remains grounded and forward-thinking. He knows his tenure is finite and believes strongly in succession planning. Leadership for him is not about personal prestige but about stewarding an organization toward collective goals. He is driven by impact rather than ego, and views stepping aside when the time is right as part of responsible leadership. In all, Eiichiro's style is defined by cultural intelligence, a coaching mindset, and a results-oriented pragmatism wrapped in emotional intelligence.

Why Are Estate Agency CEOs So Shy? Russell Quirk's Bold Take! In this eye opening episode, Russell Quirk, one of the most talked about figures in the UK property world, tackles a question that's been on his mind for years: Why are so many estate agency CEOs so camera shy? It's a discussion that doesn't hold back, as Russell explains how the lack of visibility from the leaders of major agencies is holding the sector back. Russell argues that when CEOs shy away from the spotlight, they miss out on a chance to build their brand, engage with staff, and lead their businesses with credibility. In a market where competition is fierce, why aren't the leaders of firms like Connells, LSL, and Savills speaking out more? And how does this silence impact not just potential customers, but the people within these companies as well? If you're in the property industry, you won't want to miss this thought provoking conversation. Listen now, leave a comment with your thoughts, and join the discussion on how CEOs can help shape the future of estate agency.

People over the age of 60 hold nearly £3 trillion of wealth in the value of their homes, almost all of it mortgage free. That is more than half of all housing wealth in the UK. Under 35s by contrast control only £600 billion and half of that is mortgaged. These startling figures were published recently by the upmarket estate agent Savills which has analysed housing data in Britain for many years. It says this disparity between young and old has never been bigger.MPs, charities and free debt advice providers are calling for an urgent change in the law to help protect the finances of thousands of domestic abuse survivors. At the moment people, mainly women, who are left in debt after fleeing abusive relationships normally have to have their names and addresses published as part of the process of getting that debt written off. Something campaigners say not only puts their personal safety at risk, but can also put them off addressing financial problems altogether. The government has said its currently reviewing this matter and will update in due course.And, annuities are a safe, regular income in retirement. You can use your pension fund to buy one and a growing number of people are doing just that. Sales of annuities have seen an 83% increase since 2020, based on figures from the Association of British Insurers. We'll discuss what's behind that rise.Presenter: Paul Lewis Reporters: Dan Whitworth and Jo Krasner Researcher: Catherine Lund Editor: Jess Quayle(This programme was first broadcast at 12pm Saturday 3rd May 2025)
