More and more key real estate agents from across the UK have committed to start sharing their data as part of an industry led initiative to create a more accurate, reliable and timely view of the UK real estate market
CBRE, JLL, Savills, Colliers International, GVA, Knight Frank, BNP Paribas Real Estate and Gerald Eve were among the first to commit to using Radius Data Exchange. They have now been joined by firms including Cushman & Wakefield, Lambert Smith Hampton, Farebrother, Bidwells, Carter Jonas, Alder King and Monmouth Dean, as the industry works towards creating the first complete view of the UK real estate market.
The commitment will see the firms automatically submit deals and availability data through Radius Data Exchange, taking out layers of friction and wasted work hours and freeing up employees to do more valuable work.
Andy Martin, UK chief executive of BNP Paribas Real Estate, says the establishment of Radius Data Exchange was a necessary next step in the evolution of the consultancy world.
“We all saw that we were collecting our own data so thought wouldn't it be easier if we actually spent time looking at how we could create trends information, rather than on collecting the data,” says Martin. “Clients want to know what the data means, not what the data is. So in some respects that was the obvious place for us to fix. The industry knows how to come together on important projects and this is just another way in which we can work together for common good.”

Years before Sarah Hayes was made partner at KPMG, she was growing up in Bodmin Moor with dreams of becoming a vet working with large animals.
Now, Hayes has spent the last 15 years at KPMG and was made partner in the real estate transaction services team in May. But, she tells EG’s Tomorrow’s Leaders Podcast: “I’ve not come the standard route.” She studied accounting and finance at the University of Plymouth where those around her doubted her future prospects.
She says: “I can remember being at university and being told that none of us would get into Big Four because you had to go to a better university. There’s a big part of me that would quite like to find that lecturer and stick my tongue out at him.”
In this podcast, Hayes speaks about being a role model to other women in the industry and the conversations property needs to be having around the diversity of thought. She also talks about her favourite dragon - not mentioning Game of Thrones once - and about the relative viciousness of horses versus ducks.
