Residential Forum

The changes of recent years, from explosive growth through Covid to the rise and rise of institutional investor appetite for housing, create a strong case for launching this long-awaited CULS forum.

We provide members, including current and next generation real estate professionals, with opportunities to gain market-leading insights and develop quality networks.

• Political and regulatory shifts, including making the Private Rental Sector more professional and energy performance requirements

• The generational wealth divide in residential real estate, and how this influences product, returns and social impact

• The process and results of urban regeneration schemes on the ground.

The Residential Forum was established in 2022 by 6 founding members including a leading residential market commentator, a pioneer of sustainable residential development and a leading ESG/real estate academic.

Our mission is to help change the face of the residential sector, which has for so many years been seen as somehow separate from the wider real estate industry despite being the largest asset class globally.

We are arranging three events in 20222023, sharing knowledge from leaders in the field on the latest trends and changes a ecting investors, developers, homeowners and tenants.

Event topics will include:

• Decarbonisation

• Quantifying returns and risks across sub sectors - from Build to Rent to Later Living

• What renters want, from city centre student housing through to the suburban private rental sector

We encourage the current generation of Land Economy students to join our events, as they can be an ideal opportunity for students to learn about the property world and network with potential employers, clients and/ or suppliers. Whenever possible, we provide free or subsidised places for students.

If you’re interested in joining the CULS Residential Property Forum or supporting our events, please do contact the Chairman or one of the other committee members.
