EG Like Sunday Morning: See, listen, do in 2023

Jess Harrold is joined by editor Sam McClary and news editor Pui-Guan Man for the first podcast round-up of the year, beginning with a clarion call to the industry to keep decency at the top of the agenda in challenging times.

Together, they discuss the state of the sheds sector, with Amazon setting out plans to shut three warehouses in the UK, which could bring some 1.3m sq ft of space back to the market.

But who will be 2023's first champion in the quiz of the week?

What remedies are available to landlords post moratorium?

Following the lifting of the moratorium on forfeiture for commercial rent arrears on 25 March 2022, commercial landlords once again have a range of options available to either recover outstanding debt or regain possession of their premises.

To discuss those options, Sarah Jackman is joined by Ian McEwan and Paula Green, property dispute partners at law firm RWK Goodman. They remind listeners of the restrictions imposed under the moratorium, reflect on the arbitration scheme and consider which remedy might be appropriate in a particular scenario.

Voice of the Region Capital Edition: City Fringe – Straight outta Compton

Tough times lie in wait for the industry’s squeezed middle, according to straight-talking Compton co-founder Shaun Simons, who warns of a very difficult year ahead both for average agents and for owners of mid-range office stock.

Compton is a City Fringe office specialist and sits at the top of the area’s Radius On-Demand Rankings, with 818,000 sq ft transacted across 144 deals.

Simons believes there has been a polarisation of the office market whereby demand will remain strong for either best-in-class stock or for “cheap and nasty” space so long as it is priced accordingly. The problem area, he believes, will be all the “sludge” that falls between the two. He also believes many “average” agents who prospered prior to the pandemic are going to struggle as the market becomes increasingly competitive.

Listen in for insights from:

• Holly Brown, director, Colliers
• Helen Goulden, chief executive, Young Foundation
• Vivienne King, head of real estate social impact, The Good Economy
